Fantastic special night out with our kids! We will all remember it for a long time! The food, adults and kids, was all delicious too. Matched wines were well worth it!
Absolutely incredible!! I’ve wanted to do this experience for so long! How fitting to do it for our birthday celebrations 🎉 It is downstairs of the Hotel de Roode Leeuw just in case you get confused. There’s no Le Petit Chef sign that we could see. 🌟 Delicious, belly busting food. So so nice!! We were fully expecting to have to go to McDonald’s next door. As usually only small portions in places like this. 🌟 the Sauvignon blanc was very nice! Only wish I had stuck with this as had got the wine pairing which is very good for your money just personal preference I preferred this. 🌟 birthday video and food €10pp incredible!!! Some people were lucky enough to get a table of 4 to themselves as a couple. We unfortunately didn’t even though would’ve been lush for our birthday. There is no dress code which was a surprise. Most came in day time attire after being a tourist all day. Some families. They advise not to clutter the table so you can see the projection better. Would’ve been nice to have drink holders at the side of the table. They reuse sparking water bottles for still which is confusing.
The experience itself is unique, charming, and different… but as for the food, it leaves much to be desired. If you're paying €100 per person you'd expect better quality dishes, but I was quite disappointed with the flavors and variety. The soup was just peas and onions, the pasta was cold and bland, and the meat tasted very strange. The only truly delicious thing was the brownie for dessert, although the extra dessert I paid for for my father's birthday was awful: a slice of red velvet cake that was clearly not fresh and had no flavor whatsoever. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the place is great, but I think they should improve the food to make the experience truly exceptional and worth the price.
We really enjoyed our experience. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were good. Even the wine portion sizes were good. I was worried after reading reviews online that said the portions were small or the food wasn’t impressive, but we were very happy with it (I don’t know if there were changes). The show was also funny and entertaining with the mini chefs.
The dinner experience was amazing! It was everything I expected. It was fun and the food was also nice. The whole experience was really well organised. I don't want to give to much away, so I will just show the food, but the 4 little chefs were great! They were funny and they definitely enjoyed their job! Thank you Le Petit chef!
