It is worth noting that <strong>only one dinner seating is offered each evening<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept for this animated video projection was conceived in Belgium in 2015 and has since been showcased in restaurants around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The experience involves a spectacular five-course dining service that uses <strong>cutting-edge 3D mapping technology<\/strong> to project digital animation right onto the diners&#8217; plates and the tabletop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This animation is truly the star of the service. Visitors often come to the restaurant more for the immersive experience and emotions than for the food itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A video of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=l3LJYY4KI8g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Le Petit Chef&#8221;<\/a> is available below to help illustrate the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Questions_and_Answers\"><\/span>Common Questions and Answers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How long does the show last?

The video projection animation primarily focuses on the main course, which features meat dishes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dietary restrictions and special requests can be noted when booking a table.

This type of video projection proved popular with cruise ship passengers. As of 2021, Celebrity Cruises had already installed these video projections on 11 ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1439\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.la-future.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2025\/03\/471197562_627946146331651_350338033125569353_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.la-future.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2025\/03\/471197562_627946146331651_350338033125569353_n.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.la-future.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2025\/03\/471197562_627946146331651_350338033125569353_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.la-future.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2025\/03\/471197562_627946146331651_350338033125569353_n-768x767.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.la-future.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2025\/03\/471197562_627946146331651_350338033125569353_n-696x696.jpg 696w, https:\/\/cdn.la-future.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2025\/03\/471197562_627946146331651_350338033125569353_n-1068x1067.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Menu\"><\/span>The Menu<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Staff from the Culinary Institute of America in Soria developed the menu for the restaurant and &#8220;Le Petit Chef.&#8221; The menu features classic dishes like burrata tomato tart, chicken ballotine, and beef tenderloin.
