New Julie & Julia Movie at the Epicentre and Julia Child Tribute Menu at Mez Offers a Feast for the Senses!

Mez is known in downtown Charlotte as the place to go for a unique “dinner and a movie” experience, and from August 6-9, the restaurant will be offering a special menu of recipes by Julia Child in honor of the new movie Julie & Julia. The movie will be shown in the Epicentre Theater, and selected items from the Julia Child tribute menu can be enjoyed à la carte during the show. The full prix fixe meal will be offered in Mez’s adjoining dining room before or after screenings. The full menu is $39 plus tax, beverages and gratuity. For reservations, please call (704) 971-2400.

Meryl Streep and Amy Adams star in the film as Julia Child and Julie Powell, respectively. The film opens on August 7. Tickets are $12/VIP or $9/General Admission for evening show times and $9/VIP or $6/General Admission for matinees.
