The World's SMALLEST CHEF IS BACK
editor's choice
Le Petit Chef has returned to the sanitised tabletops of the luxurious Beverley Hills Hotel to continue the journey of Marco Polo designed from his experiences along the Silk Route of Asia. Become fully immersed in a 3D projected extravaganza that allows you to travel through the big, exciting and flavourful world of the intrepid explorer Marco Polo, albeit with masks and temperature checks, no border controls or quarantine will be necessary! The evening opens with a complimentary glass of MCC, and diners are given the option of a wine-pairing to complement the dishes served. The spectacular show is accompanied by an awe-inspiring and mouth-watering six-course dinner, infused with the essence of each country passed through. The menu remains shrouded in mystery but sit back and allow resident executive chef Nathania Wasserman (together with the world’s smallest chef), to delight every tastebud. The duo is able to accommodate all dietary needs – vegetarian, vegan, halaal and Kosher friendly. Your authentic culinary journey begins as you traverse the Asian continent through the desert sands of Arabia, the dripping colours of India, the peaks of the Himalayas, the heavy mists of China, returning to the point of origin in the romantic cobbled streets of Marseille, France. The gourmet dining theatre hosts an intimate 30 guests per show, abiding to regulated health and safety requirements.
