A gastronomic experience like no other would be the best way to sum up Le Petit Chef’s Dinner Time Story experience!
Hosted at the exquisite Blueberry Hill Hotel located in the picture-perfect suburb of Honeydew in Johannesburg North! This worldwide-renowned dining experience is well-deserving of its global acclaim and accolades!
Before jumping into this review, we would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Chef extraordinaire Paul Rouessart for allowing us the privilege to experience the magical event that is Dinner Times Stories!
AMBIENCE & ATMOSPHERE: 5-STARS
The level of attention to detail and the finesse used in the décor create a kind experience and set the tone for what is to be a visually immersive experience!
Mood lighting sets the stage for a welcoming atmosphere. A combination of soft yet distinct French classical music played in the background, together with a live musician, created a vibrant atmosphere!
The entire ambience and atmosphere awaken all your senses. It's one of those moments in life that truly needs to be experienced to be appreciated!
The check-in station is beautifully designed and includes a selection of Pongracz champagne to welcome guests. We thought this was a thoughtful touch!
It must also be mentioned that they adhere to all COVID protocols. The Le Petit Chef goes above and beyond to make sure his guests are comfortable and safe!
There was a buzz of excitement, delight, and anticipation in the air for what was to come!
