See food, eat food.

The Hawaii Theatre’s “Screen Cuisine: A Food Film Festival,” Friday through Sunday, elevates the concept of dinner and a movie, showcasing four classic films about food, paired with meals at nearby restaurants.

And we’re not talking a sandwich and popcorn; we’re talking full-on gourmet menus designed to match the movies. To book dinner packages, call the individual restaurants.

“The Hundred-Foot Journey,” screening tonight at 8, combines with dinner at Palate Craft & Eatery right across the street from the theater, offering dishes that reflect the classic French and Indian cuisines of the film.

In the film, a family opens an Indian restaurant across the way from a famed French restaurant, setting off a rivalry that challenges both sets of culinary traditions.

The menu comprises pakora (beer-battered fried cauliflower), chicken crepe and ratatouille with a cocktail, beer or glass of wine. Dinner is at 6 p.m., followed by the movie. Afterward, dessert will be served at Cake Envy. The package is $50: 524-2337, palatecraftandeatery.com.

On Saturday two screenings and meals are offered.

As a nod to “Eat Drink Man Woman,” screening at 2 p.m., Restaurant Epic will offer a tasting menu of Asian roasted duck salad, with an escargot poppers appetizer followed by an entree pairing of miso butterfish and braised short rib. The meal will follow the screening, at $63 for the movie, meal and gratuity: 587-7877, restaurantepichawaii.com.

In the film a Chinese master chef tries to rekindle feelings of family among his unmarried daughters through an elaborate meal each Sunday.

The Pig & the Lady offers dinner with the movie “Chocolat,” which screens at 8 p.m. The four-course meal, served 5 to 7:30 p.m., centers on a roast quail entree. A chocolate flambe dessert titled “Forgive Me Jesus, for I Have Eaten All Your Chocolate” will be served at the restaurant. Cost is $55, or $75, including a second dessert after the movie at Cake Envy: 585-8255, thepigandthelady.com.

“Chocolat” tells the story of a young mother who opens a chocolate shop in a buttoned-down French village, where her skills and the sensual tastes change the lives of the townspeople.

On Sunday Fete’s ode to “Like Water for Chocolate” includes churros with cinnamon and chocolate sauce, Mexican lasagna as the main course, and cheese flan with strawberries, raspberries and orange supremes for dessert, for a fixed price of $45, which includes the 2 p.m. screening. The special brunch is available from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.: 369-1390, fetehawaii.com.

“Like Water for Chocolate” is a passionate film depicting a woman separated by familial duty from the man she loves. She learns that she can transfer her emotions into the food she prepares, spreading her heartbreak and longing.

In addition to the dinner packages, Madre Chocolate offers a class in making a chocolate bar preceding “Chocolat,” from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Cost is $25, excluding the film: 377-6440, madrechocolate.com.
