Hyatt today announced the globally acclaimed offering – Le Petit Chef experience at Grand Hyatt Goa and Hyatt Centric Sector 17 Chandigarh, marking a significant milestone in India’s dining experience. By combining immersive 3D visuals with exceptional cuisine, this innovative experience redefines the art of fine dining, while showcasing Hyatt’s commitment to offering distinct guest experiences.
Featuring the world’s smallest chef at just 58 mm tall, this immersive journey promises an unforgettable evening of fine and fun dining. The 3D animated show transforms the dining table into a captivating screen, where guests follow Le Petit Chef on an enchanting voyage along Marco Polo’s Silk Road—navigating Arabian sands, braving the Himalayas, and dodging dragons in China—all while enjoying a meticulously crafted 6-course menu that captures the essence of each destination.
Grand Hyatt Goa and Hyatt Centric Chandigarh are the latest properties to embrace this revolutionary concept, initially introduced to India by Hyatt at Grand Hyatt Mumbai in 2019.
Commenting on the initiative, Thomas Angerer, Director of Food & Beverage, India and Southwest Asia, Hyatt, said: “We are excited about this unique fusion of cutting-edge technology and world-class cuisine that is set to elevate our guests’ dining experience and set new benchmarks in the Indian hospitality landscape.
