Accolades

Named Des Moines's Best Overall Theater and Best Concessions by The Des Moines Register.

The Des Moines Register - The Fleur Cinema and Café almost has it all: the most intelligent Hollywood films, the critically acclaimed indie films, even the occasional local film. Combine that with modern décor, a diverse menu of concessions and reasonable prices—in a refurbished space that was once occupied by a run-of-the-mill multiplex. It's clear why this locally owned theater has drawn audiences since 2001, without having to rely on blockbusters.

Named "The Coolest Movie Theater in Iowa" By Cosmopolitan Magazine

This locally owned business screens independent, foreign and Hollywood films that Des Moines residents can't always find at a typical chain. They can also enjoy beer, wine, coffee, espresso, cheesecake, muffins, and dessert bars at the cafe.

Featured by Stacey Horst as one of “Stacey's Favorites” on KCCI News 8.

Stacey Horst - The Fleur Cinema & Café has it all and then some.

Named Des Moines's Best Place to Catch a Flick by Cityview Magazine readers every year from 2007-2016--that's nine years in a row.

Cityview, 2015 - Even though Fleur Cinema can't claim to be the only movie theater in the metro to serve alcohol, it can once again claim its title as the Best Place to Catch a Flick. The quaint theater might be smaller than the rest, but its steady following is what really counts.

Cityview, 2011 - Chalk another win up for the coolest theater in town...From award-winning independents to documentaries and foreign treats, The Fleur Cinema is the theater of choice for our readers.

Amanda Gorsche Miller, Des Moines is NOT Boring - We love The Fleur Cinema and Café for a lot of reasons. All year 'round they are dedicated to showing smaller, independent films that you aren't likely to find anywhere else in Des Moines...There isn't a better theater in Des Moines to make you feel at home.

Ben Gran, Des Moines is NOT Boring - Fortunately, The Fleur Cinema & Café is different—there are no commercials and only a couple of previews—and the previews are all for smart, sophisticated and/or foreign films, so you vicariously get to feel like a better person just for sitting through them. Going to The Fleur Cinema & Café is like giving money to NPR. Does The Fleur sell tote bags? Because I would totally buy one.
