The ‘World’s Smallest Chef’ has returned to ‘Make Dining Great Again’

Le Petit Chef

Le Petit Chef is making his grand return, promising an epic surprise, at the high-rise Blueberry Hill Hotel – the perfect balance between silk, spice and all things nice, sophistication with a wild edge, to take up the journey of Marco Polo once again with those fans who have not yet had the experience and those who loved it so much, they can’t wait to return. At your place setting, this tiny chef will create a union between eyes, nose, and palate to create ‘Instagramable’ wonders you never thought could be unified upon a single plate.

They are excited to announce that the spontaneous, nomadic and world’s smallest chef is back to share his gourmet adventure, designed from his experiences along the Silk Route of Asia. You are invited to immerse yourself in a 4D, high definition, projected extravaganza that allows you to travel through the big, exciting and flavourful world of the intrepid explorer Marco Polo!

The spectacular international show – ‘Le Petit Chef : In The Footsteps of Marco Polo’ is accompanied by an aweinspiring and mouth-watering six course dinner, infused with the essence of each country traversed. Best of all – bookings for this limited run are officially open for the launch date of 17 April 2025.

As the evening opens you are given a complimentary snap, crackle, and pop surprise with a side of Krone bubbles – an amusing beverage adorned with the trimmings of an experienced world traveller. Diners are given the option of iconic Signature Spier 1692 wine-pairing done to complement the dishes served, as well as a special surprise discovery taste of Silk & Spice (Wines of The World) – a wine for each course and country that showcases dining harmony between food and drink, the likes of which you have never experienced.

The menu remains shrouded in mystery but sit back and allow Executive Chef Kelly Nonjinge (together with the tiny Chef) and his team of culinary magicians, to delight every tastebud no matter your dietary needs – vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, halaal-and-Kosher friendly. Your authentic culinary voyage begins as you journey through the Asian continent through the desert sands of Arabia, the dripping colours of India, the peaks of the Himalayas, the heavy mists of China, returning to the point of origin in the romantic cobbled streets of Marseilles, France.

“Here, fun-dining takes on a new meaning with live Arabian belly and fire dancing, Bollywood
beauties and Chinese LED fan artists, which will transport you to each Silk Route country sans
passport” – declares Le Petit Chef.

Le Petit Chef as an individual, and as an event, understands the power of those things small, so, while the gourmet dining theatre hosts 60 seats per show, the service remains top-notch, and the details of the menu promise that your tastebuds are sure to be awakened as never before.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
