Embark on enhanced experiences with the pint-sized gourmand at Vidanta Riviera Maya
Le Petit Chef brings experiential dining to new heights (despite the protagonist’s tiny size) thanks to stunning digital mapping that plays across the dinner table—and your plate—at Bistro Bleu in Riviera Maya.
With each appearance, Le Petit Chef expertly crafts incredible dishes while transporting diners across time and space, narrating each ingredient’s rich history and origins. This immersive storytelling experience, made possible by the pioneering work of world-renowned Dutch artists from Skullmapping, has captivated audiences since 2015.
The meal begins with the charming Le Petit Chef emerging on the plate before each guest. During five meticulously curated courses, guests are captivated by mini-storylines and mesmerizing animations that not only entertain but also provide context, setting the stage to enjoy the gastronomic delights that follow.
At Vidanta Riviera Maya, guests are presented with a delightful dilemma of two captivating sensory experiences: Le Petit Chef Master Chef and Le Petit Chef and Friends, both with brand-new menus. Also, Le Petit Chef and Friends recently incorporated new virtual reality technology into the hallmark digital experience. Using VR glasses, diners further enrich their immersion as taste, sight, and imagination intertwine seamlessly.
