The smallest chef in the world conquers Darwin

DARWIN, Australia – From Friday, 9 June 2023, "Le Petit Chef", a globally-renowned unique dinner theatre, is available in Darwin, Australia to make gourmet hearts beat faster. At Hilton Darwin, visitors can expect sophisticated 3D cinema combined with excellent gastronomy.

Every guest can look forward to a show on their own plate. Between meals, the table is unobtrusively transformed into a screen, whereupon the little chef entertains with various performances and recordings because his attempts to prepare culinary masterpieces almost always end in disaster. Luckily, the kitchen crew of Hilton Darwin always helps the virtual star out! When the food is on the table, the show moves into the background and the curtain goes up for regional and international delicacies.

The menu is preselected and offers dishes such as bouillabaisse soup, grilled tiger prawn with garlic and lemon butter, slow braised beef cheek with fingerling potatoes, steamed broccolini and bordelaise sauce, and saffron and cardamom-infused rice pudding. The careful selection of the ingredients as well as the offer of a vegetarian and a kids’ variant meet every taste and allows guests of all ages to enjoy an unforgettable culinary journey.

"We are thrilled to bring Le Petit Chef to Australia for the first time and especially excited to introduce this unique dining experience to our guests here at Hilton Darwin. Le Petit Chef combines cutting-edge technology, world-class cuisine, and storytelling to create an unforgettable dining experience. We're confident that it will quickly become a must-visit destination for locals and visitors alike," said Markus Kaliss, general manager, Hilton Darwin.

"With great pleasure we are now also able to open a location with Hilton Darwin. The opening is a great expansion for us and we are happy to be able to entertain guests with an unforgettable theatre and gourmet experience together with the team on site," said Christine Corvers-Vitzu, managing director, 2Spicy Entertainment GmbH.

Behind the elaborate animations lies the Belgian artist collective "Skullmapping", founded in 2010 by Filip Sterckx and Antoon Verbeeck. Using 3D mapping technology and profound artistic know-how, the 58 mm small chef was brought to life in 2015.

From June 9, 2023, "Le Petit Chef" plays from Thursday to Sunday –– Thursdays at 7:00 p.m., Friday to Sunday at 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., with an additional show at 1 p.m. on Sundays. All further information on the reservation and booking, as well as prices and all menus can be found at lepetitchef.com/Darwin.
