Le Petit Chef - Amsterdam — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Le petit chef it’s interesting show to do it once. There is a master of ceremonies who is guiding the dinner, he was funny & well organized. Food itself is very average, you are paying show not a food. There are 4 course menu and 4 animation about each dish by chef from Spain, Italy, Japan & France. My favorite dish was desert by the Japanese cook that is very nice presentation . Pasta was interesting- ravioli with truffle, shitaki mushroom & white sauce. Frist dish was just rucola salad with some chatty tomato’s & choriso without any seasoning - very dry and not eatable. You should improve this dish. I needed to return the stake since they brought me meat without asking me how I want to be done. Excuse was that cook is always making midi rare and they don’t ask guests how they want. I think this is very bad, you pay 250-300 for dinner for 2 and you can not ask your meat to be done based on your preference? What will cost you to add better service and ask people how they will like there...

I paid €280,- for the food and a bottle of wine with 2 people. I work in hospitality myself and can say the servers where very bad. The website and “ tiktok” videos blow it up. While in real life, it’s is nothing special at all. We had to be there 30 min before the show, we reserved a table at 17.00 but people next to us came at 17.15 and behind even later! The where still allowed to join the show. There where 5 table and we didn’t get to food at the same time together with the two of us. The food was delicious but also nothing special. There was a table behind us with the most annoying children, loud talking, screaming, crying, kids playing on the couch and where even standing at our table to play. I was totally annoyed with the overal experience and it was a total waste of my money. Don’t be fooled, you can get better food and dining...

Fun for one time experience…..to be honest i am not a fast eater but seems like all guests just finish their plates within 10 minutes once it is on the table, one of the tables finished their food even before we got our plates 🤣…..our diner started at 17:15-17:30 and we finished the diner and have been outside on the street before 19:00. Service is very attentive and i can understand there is a time limit since the second round starts at 20:00 but you simply can’t enjoy your course within 10 minutes each round…..feels a bit pressure to finish your plate this fast. We ordered the wine pairing which comes with 3 glasses of wine and 1 cava, the speed of drinking and eating is outstanding fast i must say….. Food menu is expensive but the drinks are very reasonable priced. All dishes are almost made the same as shown...
