Le Petit Chef's 3D Dining Debuting May 1
PHOENIX, April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Arizona Biltmore (LXR Hotels & Resorts), an icon of luxury and modern playfulness, announced today the arrival of Le Petit Chef, the world-famous immersive dining experience featuring the "smallest chef in the world." Set to debut at the resort on May 1, 2025, this experiential culinary show blends cutting-edge 3D projection mapping, creative storytelling, and Arizona Biltmore's culinary excellence to deliver a multi-sensory adventure. This pop-up restaurant will be the first and only Le Petit Chef experience in the Southwest.
With 89 locations worldwide, and only eight in the U.S., Arizona Biltmore will be the exclusive venue for Le Petit Chef in Arizona and the Southwest. For more than 90 years, the Arizona Biltmore has stood as an Arizona landmark and one of the world's most recognized resorts for its Frank Lloyd Wright architectural style, intuitive hospitality and storied history, all topped off with a generous splash of Hollywood glamour. Recognized as the "Jewel of the Desert," the iconic resort has been a destination for celebrities, presidents and dignitaries alike since 1929. The launch of Le Petit Chef at Arizona Biltmore further reinforces the resort's legacy as a premier travel destination.
"Just as our resort's Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired architecture is a testament to visionary design, Le Petit Chef transforms dining into an art form, captivating guests with its creativity and craftsmanship," said Michael Hoffmann, Arizona Biltmore Vice President and Managing Director. "As a resort with nearly a century of storied history, we continue to evolve to meet the expectations of today's guests while honoring our legacy. By introducing groundbreaking experiences like Le Petit Chef, we reaffirm our commitment to offering guests the best of both worlds by being guardians of our past and architects of our future."
Developed by the Belgian art collective "Skullmapping," this concept restaurant uses proprietary 3D projection technology to bring a 6-centimeter chef to life on your table. Each course is introduced by a carefully choreographed animation in which the animated chef "prepares" your dish in front of you, transforming dining tables into theatrical stages. Guiding guests through an imaginative and entertaining culinary journey, the four-course fine dining menu handcrafted by Arizona Biltmore's award-winning chefs mirrors the miniature chef's virtual travels around the world with dishes like Seared Mediterranean Seabass.
Arizona Biltmore's Le Petit Chef's prix fixe menu will include Burrata and locally sourced Duncan Farm Beets, Seared Mediterranean Seabass featuring lobster and shellfish nage, American Wagyu with red onion jam and dijon-hollandaise, and Meyer Lemon Crème Brulee topped with a honeycomb crumble. A vegetarian menu and a junior's menu for children 6-12 years old will also be available.
"Today's consumer wants more than exceptional food–they want an experience," said Madelyn Lydon, Arizona Biltmore Assistant Director of Marketing. "With 70% of travelers in 2025 prioritizing culinary experiences, our partnership with Le Petit Chef leans directly into this trend—offering guests an unforgettable fusion of gastronomy and entertainment that redefines traditional fine dining and what it means to dine while traveling."
The limited-time only Le Petit Chef at Arizona Biltmore will be hosted every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 5:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. beginning May 1, 2025. Designed to be an intimate epicurean adventure, each show will seat 18 guests. Tickets are $195 per person and the junior's menu is $79 per child.
