Step into a world of culinary magic with Fairmont Chicago's Le Petit Chef. Featuring a virtual chef and a jaw-dropping five-course menu, it's an immersive dining experience that you won't want to miss. | ✍️ Maxwell Rabb
Unlike at other fine-dining restaurants, this chef reveals his culinary secrets at the dinner table. He visits guests before every course and teaches them about their meal’s ingredients by demonstrating how the food is prepared. But here’s the twist: the chef is two-and-a-half inches tall . . . and he’s virtual.
“You’re immersed into the tiny chef host’s world from the moment it begins,” says William Schultz, Fairmont Chicago’s director of food and beverage. Fairmont’s dining staff play an integral role in the immersive experience. To execute a seamless dining experience that’s choreographed with a preset animation, the Fairmont kitchen and waiting staff must plan their serving times with precision, all the way from the appetizers to dessert. That way, when Le Petit Chef finishes cooking the dish, it materializes on the table.
“We are thrilled to bring this unique dining experience to our guests, the city of Chicago, and the larger midwest region,” notes general manager Clay Spencer. “The Fairmont Chicago culinary team has been working diligently to prepare for the unveiling. We’re delighted for diners to experience this culinary adventure through animation. It is a dinner like no other.”Thurs-Sat 6 and 8:15 PM, reservations required, $155+ per personAnd let’s not forget dinner.
