Le Petit Chef - Edmonton

“they surprised us with espresso service that had latte art literally projected on the foam - and the coffee itself was smooth and rich like better than my usual specialty shop lol”

“the pre dinner cocktails were limited and overpriced at $16 each especially with how small the pours were”

“this isnt really my usual vibe but the beef tenderloin course was absolutely STELLAR perfectly seasoned medium rare that wouldve made any steakhouse proud”

“actually the wine pairings felt kinda pretentious tbh adn honestly i just wanted a simple beer to go with the whole elaborate presentation thing”

“teh spiced lamb course had this amazing harissa style sauce that was seriously spicy - finally a fine dining place that doesnt play it safe with bold flavors”

“but the bread course was really bland especially after that intense lamb, definitely needed more seasoning to match up”

“the interactive thing with the tiny animated chef projected on your plate was actually magical like watching the little character prep the course while explaining ingredients, havent felt that sense of wonder at a restaurant in like years”

“teh menu didnt really say which dishes had alcohol in them so it was kinda stressful navigating everything when youre trying to avoid it”

“literally every single course was instagram gold teh projection mapping meant each plate became its own little stage with the tiny chef dancing around perfectly plated dishes that looked too beautiful to even eat”

“the lighting in the dining room was too dim to photograph the food without the projections so once the animation ended it was impossible to get a decent pic of the actual dish”

“so like honestly had no idea what this immersive dining thing would be like but watching those tiny chefs projected on my plate while eating a perfectly cooked duck breast was pretty wild. even someone like me who likes regular food was impressed”

“the portions felt kinda small if youre used to like hearty meals, walked out feeling like i could eat another whole course”

“booking the 830 seating was perfect they run like a super tight schedule so youre guaranteed the full experience no rushing adn the later time made it feel like an exclusive after hours thing”

“the rigid timing means youre locked in for the full 90 mins whether youre into it or not which felt kinda constraining compared to normal dining dead serious”
