Why Travelers Love Le Petit
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.4 / 5.0(71 reviews)
The show was fun and entertaining certainly worth the experience. Highly recommend. The food, exquisite, can't fault The service, it started late, and the girls doing the introduction were simply reading from a script, quite fast, and sometimes quiet. The show was adjacent to the normal dining room, very open, and also open to reception. I was expecting a closed room that was darkened to enhance the production. Took my wife for her birthday here. She got a complimentary drink and small birthday cupcake with candle which was a really nice touch. The fixed menu was great too . The laser projection show was entertaining but I think its mostly suited for kids . This was a fun experience for a special occasion in Cairns. The food was mostly delicious, and the entertainment with the tiny chefs was cute and well executed. I think the ambiance would be improved if it was in a private space, as being open to the lobby and bar of the hotel made it slightly awkward.

This was a fun experience for a special occasion in Cairns. The food was mostly delicious, and the entertainment with the tiny chefs was cute and well executed.

I was aware of Le Petit Chef for years and never knew it was In Cairns at Double Tree Hilton , so booked first opportunity I could, I loved the show it was fun and amusing and very entertaining. I loved that the food was paired with what the chefs cooked up . Food was yummy 😋 2 hours went past so fast . I will come back next year . Hoping they have different scenarios for the chefs . I highly recommend this to anyone thinking about going 😍

The experience is so much fun.You can't help but smile as you watch along with the show. The food is really lovely. The staff were attentive and welcoming. The only thing I would love to see is to have a curtain separating the restaurant and the hotel lobby to make the experience even more intimate and exclusive.
