FORK N FILM DETROIT

Dinner and a movie is being completely reimagined in downtown Detroit. Cambria Detroit Downtown is partnering with Fork n’ Film to introduce Michigan’s first-ever immersive cinematic dining experience — a curated series that blends iconic films with chef-driven, multi-course pre-set menus and specially crafted cocktails and mocktails, for a truly unforgettable evening.

The series debuts this fall inside Cambria’s elegant Balla Ultra Lounge with a showing of Disney Pixar’s Ratatouille. Guests will follow Remy’s flavorful journey through Paris while enjoying dishes timed to arrive at the precise moments their inspiration appears on screen, transforming the typical movie night into an immersive storytelling experience.

The Fork n’ Film cinematic dinner series will take place in the Balla Ultra Lounge on select dates beginning Friday, September 12, 2025. The Ratatouille screening will have capacity limited to just 40 guests per night to maintain the intimate and theatrical nature of the experience. Each event will begin with a welcoming glass of champagne and freshly popped popcorn, followed by a multi-course gourmet dinner (with vegetarian options available) and select crafted cocktails and mocktails, choreographed to key cinematic moments. 

So, while this showing may be a cartoon the event is meant for grownup audiences. Get a babysitter and have a fun date night without the kids! Reservations are required and tickets can be purchased online at www.Detroit.ForknFilm.com.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing Fork n’ Film to Michigan for the first time,” Nicole Miller, General Manager at Cambria Detroit Downtown, told ageekdaddy.com. “Cambria is about delivering elevated, memorable experiences to our guests, and this series perfectly reflects that — it’s immersive, imaginative, and uniquely Detroit.”

“Ratatouille is the perfect kickoff — a celebration of food, passion, and storytelling,” Francesca Dunca, Co-CEO at Fork n’ Film, told ageekdaddy.com. “Our goal is to blur the line between the screen and the plate, so the audience doesn’t just watch the movie — they taste it.”

Following Ratatouille, the Fork n Film series will continue with additional classic films including holiday programming, which will be announced in the coming weeks.
