EDMONTON — Le Petit Chef, a globally renowned and interactive culinary experience, has arrived in Edmonton at the JW Marriott Edmonton ICE District.
Every guest can look forward to their own private show right on their plate. Between each of the five courses, the table magically transforms into a screen, where the little chef takes you on an entertaining culinary journey as he attempts to prepare culinary masterpieces.
There are four curated menus to choose from: Le Grand Chef, Le Petit Classic, Le Petit Vegetarian and Le Petit Chef Junior. The most popular is Le Grand Chef, which includes burrata with grilled heirloom tomatoes, radish, blistered asparagus, crostini, white balsamic glaze, rocket leaves and microgreens; Bouillabaisse with seasonal crustaceans, root vegetables, rustic tomato saffron broth, fresh dill and sauce rouille; broiled lobster thermidor with lobster ravioli, braised fennel and caviar sauce; charcoal-spiced Alberta AAA beef fillet with charred wild broccoli, maple-glazed carrots, three-cheese gratin potatoes, shallots and thyme jus; and a warm lava cake with vanilla bean ice cream, fresh berries and brandy snap shards.
Behind the animations lies the Belgian artist collective “Skullmapping,” founded in 2010 by Filip Sterckx and Antoon Verbeeck. Using 3D mapping technology, the 58 millimetre small chef was brought to life in 2015.
“At JW Marriott Edmonton ICE District, we’re deeply committed to creating legendary and unique experiences that resonate with our guests,” says GM Jeff Scheelar. “Hosting Le Petit Chef is an incredible example of how we continue to blend world-class hospitality with immersive entertainment, ensuring that every visit is not just a meal, but a memorable journey.”
