HeiPus Posted April 29 #1 Share Posted April 29 We're on the Silhouette this summer. Has anyone been to Le Petit Chef and can tell if it was worth it? We're travelling with two elementary school kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendaJ Posted April 29 #2 Share Posted April 29 I’m in my 60’s and I loved it! Very unique and entertaining, especially for kids. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted April 29 #3 Share Posted April 29 I am in my 70’s and this is by far my favorite specialty restaurant on celebrity (or any cruise line) did it twice last month . 4 course meal , fun show . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tierun Posted April 29 #4 Share Posted April 29 Certainly a fun and entertaining experience for the kids. With quality food for the adults. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted April 29 #5 Share Posted April 29 "Worth it" in terms of $ is subjective and hard to tell on someone else's behalf. But IMO the food is good, and it is a very unique presentation, and IMO well worth the experience. However it is not likely one I would repeat unless the two menu and resulting table presentations change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtechmk Posted April 29 #6 Share Posted April 29 The kids would love this! It is definitely worth doing at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingCruiser2 Posted April 29 #7 Share Posted April 29 We just did it twice on the Reflection. The first time was a menu/animation we had not seen before. The second time was the same menu from a cruise on Constellation last year, but the animation was completely different. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife's favorite for the 8 days we were on board and tried all the Specialty venues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancycat Posted April 29 #8 Share Posted April 29 I am doing it with my grandson on the Silhouette in May, when all the other adults go into Berlin I have done it before and loved it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Folsomdoc Posted April 30 #9 Share Posted April 30 We’ve done it three times on three different ships. It is great fun. My wife’s inner child emerges and it’s so much fun to watch (she talks to the little characters-don’t judge). And the food has been very good. However, and you know your kids best, a few weeks ago on Apex a couple with two kids I think 8 to 10 yo were really enjoying themselves while the kids scrolled on their iPhones…… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mshaines Posted April 30 #10 Share Posted April 30 I guess we're in the minority (and maybe this was being on an edge class ship?), but we HATED le petit chef on Apex in March. Took 45 minutes to get a drink. I skipped the drink pairings because it was clear there was no way they could keep up. Everyone was served at the same time and they just couldn't handld it. Food ranged from pretty good to really not good. Show was very cute, but all in 2.5+ hours (we abandoned ship at 2+ hours but before the last course). Loved everything else we did on Apex, including the grand bistro for lunch. But hard pass on LPC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirlppp Posted April 30 #12 Share Posted April 30 We did it on the Reflection and loved it. The concept is charming, food was very good, the service was excellent and it was extremely quiet in the room...a welcome change from the noise of MDR.

Everyone has to finish before they start the video for the next course. It can take a while, but we really enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would definitively test our kids' patience 😆 Thank you all for sharing your experience with Le Petit Chef! It seems like the majority enjoyed the experience.

George C Posted May 1 #17 Share Posted May 1 We did Le Petit Chef twice ln March , both we’re different menus , one included lobster, show for both was about 90 minutes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commodoredave Posted May 1 #18 Share Posted May 1 It’s not for everyone. Families with kids will love it. People who are kids at heart will like it. But it’s not for people who want a traditional dining experience. It’s a niche experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mcatmcat Posted May 2 #19 Share Posted May 2 we didnt like it My gf and I were super excited about it but the experience is not what we though Idk why the room was super warm, I was sweaing the whole time everyone need to be present for the show to start, yeah we started late the food is really good you need to wait for everyone to finish eating to go to the next course it took 2 hours or so when we were done with the dessert, we left never again. I had more fun when the restaurant was empty and I got to see like 2 mins of the video showing in the table than the real experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeesFan4Life Posted May 2 #20 Share Posted May 2 Seems like this is more kid oriented? Has anyone done Wonderland on any of the Royal ships? We did, it was "entertaining" and yes, a "one and done". From what I'm reading here, I'd rather take my 4 night specialty dining elsewhere on the Beyond....Prove me wrong?

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted May 2 #22 Share Posted May 2 We've enjoyed it three times on the Reflection, and will be back for a 4th time tomorrow evening! We didn't see any kids during our prior meals there. I found the food to be very good - though sometimes, when it's busier, the service can slow a bit (understandably).

Tom On our two visits in March first time there was only about 8 people dining, second visit almost every table was filled ( lobster was on menu) , we do it multiple times when we have a upper suite that includes specialty restaurants, if not we still will visit once.
