CineMAS Film Festival 2025 is in full swing at Manarat Al Saadiyat, and alongside the bold indie film lineup comes a culinary treat to match the cinematic energy. Taparelle restaurant has joined forces with Dine-W/Me and CineMAS to present Le Cartoon — a limited-time dining experience themed around animated cult classics.

Running until Sunday, June 1, the dishes draw inspiration from all-time favorite cartoons. Guests can expect a three-course French-Italian menu along with a themed drink that brings the animated concept to life:

  • olive-based tapenade inspired by “Coraline”
  • crispy fried fish cakes with tartare sauce and lemon inspired by “Ponyo”
  • croissant with vanilla ice-cream, berry sauce, and whipped cream inspired by “Kiki’s Delivery Service”, and many other tasty surprises
