Why reinvent the wheel when it works so well? Dinner and a movie is a combination that will never go out of style, so for your next date night, try these three spots where you can truly enjoy dinner and a movie – in style:
1. Labia Theatre
The Labia Theatre is the oldest Independent Art-Repertory Cinema in South Africa, showing the best of circuit, independent movies, foreign films, documentaries, classics and other alternative and art circuit films.
Enjoy quality movies at reasonable admission prices in their four characteristic screens: a 176 seater, a 100, a 65 seater, an intimate 50 seater.
In addition, the theatre has a cosy coffee bar which offers home-made delicacies, a chocolate bar serving sweets, chocolates and popcorn, an outside garden terrace and a fully licenced bar. The Labia is the only cinema where you can relax, sip a drink from the bar and watch a movie.
Labia Theatre work in conjunction with Societi Bistro next door to offer a Movie Meal Special for Two.
Every Monday and Tuesday, be treated to two pastas and two movie tickets for R120. Or opt for a special at Diva Pizza on Wednesdays: enjoy two Diva pizzas and two movie tickets for R130. Collect and enjoy your pizza on their garden terrace before your movie.
Movie/Meal vouchers must first be purchased at the respective restaurants and thereafter exchanged for movie tickets at the Labia box office. Should you wish to eat after your screening you still need to purchase your vouchers first at the restaurant and inform them that you will return to have your meal after the movie screening. You will be given two vouchers one for your meal and one to exchange at the Labia box office for your movie tickets. It is advisable to reserve a table at the restaurant in advance as tables cannot be guaranteed on busy nights when the movie/meal deals are being run with the Labia.
