After travelling to over 70 countries including Dubai, London, Paris, and Singapore, this 3D dining spectacle now makes its South India debut in Bengaluru.

Le Petit Chef turns the dining table into a live stage using advanced 3D projection mapping technology. With specially installed projection systems at the hotel, a tiny 6-inch animated chef appears right on the guest’s plate. The miniature chef sets off on a playful journey, attempting to cook gourmet dishes with entertaining twists and fun moments in between courses.

As the animated sequence ends, the real culinary team presents the actual dish, styled closely to what guests just saw on their plates. This smooth shift from animation to real food makes the experience both engaging and memorable.

The pre-selected menu features dishes such as Hand-Crafted Ratatouille Cannelloni, Grilled Roman Artichoke with Burrata, Lemon Persillade Atlantic King Prawn, and Coconut and Jaggery Crème Brûlée.

Guests can choose from three menu options Elite, Grand, and Kids, each available in vegetarian and non-vegetarian variants. The experience is designed for couples, families, children’s birthday celebrations, corporate gatherings, and special occasions.

Le Petit Chef will run at Hilton Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park from 20th February 2026 onwards. Due to limited seating, advance reservations are strongly recommended. For show timings and bookings, guests can call +91-6361104821 or email Blrgs_rnl@hilton.com

Le Petit Chef was created in 2015 by the Belgian art collective Skullmapping, founded by artists Filip Sterckx and Antoon Verbeeck. The concept has since become a global dining attraction, blending art and technology in a unique way.

With this launch, Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park adds another standout culinary experience to Bengaluru’s dining scene

At the heart of ‘Mittha’ is nostalgia. Each dessert tells a story of childhood memories and shared celebrations, while presenting the sweets in a way that fits today’s fine dining experience.

Among the highlights is Badana Pearls, a delicate mix of rabri and saffron foam, finished with pistachios and almonds. It balances richness with a light texture.

Kulfi Pop features a four-flavour kulfi board with rose petal, saffron-cardamom, royal paan leaf and malai. It is designed as a playful yet elegant tasting experience.

Falooda layers almond kulfi with rose rabri, creating a fragrant and textured dessert.

Gud–Ke–Maan, inspired by the chef's grandmother's recipe, is a slow-cooked badam kheer that carries deep nostalgia.

Loya Khel adds a modern twist with chikoo mousse and biscuit cake paired with coconut grass, blending tradition with creativity.

The experience does not end with dessert. ‘Baad Mein’ offers a curated selection of digestifs and Himalayan teas, encouraging guests to slow down and enjoy the final moments of the meal.

With ‘Mittha’, Loya at Taj Mahal Palace turns dessert into more than just a final course. It becomes a celebration of memory, craft, and comfort, served with elegance.
