THE SMALLEST CHEF IN THE WORLD CONQUERS ARUBA

From June 2024, “Le Petit Chef”, a globally renowned unique dinner theatre, starring a 58mm tall chef, arrives in Aruba to make gourmet hearts beat faster. At Willem’s, 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, as his attempts to prepare culinary masterpieces almost always end in disaster. Luckily, the kitchen crew of Le Petit Chef Aruba 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.

“With great pleasure we are now also able to open a Le Petit Chef in Aruba at Willem’s in Palm Beach. 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,” says Christian Bagaric, Managing Director of 2Spicy Entertainment GmbH.

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

The experience offers a preselected menu with a variety of mouthwatering dishes. The options include Local Mozzarella, Seafood Soup, Grilled Lobster Tail, Grilled 6oz Tenderloin, and a delightful Vanila Ice Cream dessert. Four menu variants are available: Le Grand Chef, Le Petit Chef Classic, Vegetarian, and Junior menus, ensuring an unforgettable gourmet experience for all guests.

Fabian Lantinga, Managing Director of Aruba Wine & Dine Hospitality Group, expressed his excitement about introducing the world’s smallest chef to Aruba. “We are delighted to bring the world’s smallest chef to Aruba. Our experienced kitchen team, led by the famous small chef, has created a culinary delight with favorites and a wide range of flavors. We believe this truly is an extraordinary experience that will deliver memories that will last,” he said.

Beginning Friday, June 14th, “Le Petit Chef” can be seen from Monday to Sunday at 7:00 PM. Join the world’s smallest chef for this extraordinary dining experience. For reservations, bookings, prices, and detailed menus, visit https://lepetitchef.com/Aruba.
