BrasserieDe Roode Leeuw invites you to the contest for the golden chef's hat. The world's smallest chefs from Spain, Italy, Japan and of course, Le Petit Chef from France will be there. Which of the four miniature chefs will win?!
Le Petit Chef - the smallest chef in the world - presents a sophisticated 3D cinema directly on your plate, combined with excellent gastronomy. Before, during and after the meal, the little chef entertains you with various performances and recordings. When the food is on the table, the show moves into the background and the curtain goes up for international delicacies. The dinner theater inspires whole families all over the world.
The show is paired with themed music, props, and an exquisite menu. A miniature chef to life on your dinner table, all through the magic of visual mapping. By mapping your dining table and the objects on it (e.g. your plates and cutlery), we are able to project a virtual story onto the tabletop. The 3D effect is often thought of as a hologram or a 3D projection. In fact the use of special optical techniques, length distortions from the right angle to produce the effect or illusion of 3D.
To ensure that all guests enjoy this unique dining experience, we would like to ask that all members of your party are present at least 30 minutes prior to your booking. Latecomers will be allowed into the room at an appropriate interval. Late comers might not be served all courses of the menu.
After payment, the deposit and purchase price of any 'Le Petit Chef' menus and related add-ons cannot be refunded. However, diners can modify their booking dates up to 48 hours before the original booking date by contacting

Pulsating music, neon lights and urban street art warmly embrace patrons, transforming the space into an ambiance akin to a nightlife haven, all in front of an open kitchen where the seemingly quiet chef crafts culinary masterpieces that have garnered him a Michelin star. Daalder, like Dennis himself, is all about contrasts.
More than often, young chefs, no matter how much experience they got from the best restaurants in the world, struggle when the time comes to open their own place. Then, they realize how personal it is and how much more they need to look into other areas than being exceptional cooks. For Dennis, the priority was to let go of all the rules and guidelines and find his own personal style of cooking. It was his time to seek, find and show his true self. To create a new reality, like Oscar Wilde said, by expressing himself.
It all started in a smaller and way less colorful place than today, in the Jordaan-district of Amsterdam. A blank canvas that helped the young chef realize his vision, create his own culinary language and gain the self-confidence needed to leave his comfort zone, let go of the dishes and ways of his former mentors and create something new. In that small restaurant, Dennis won his first Michelin star in 2021 and just some months after, moved his etablishment to its current hotspot location in Het Sieraad on Postjesweg in Amsterdam-West.
A dish that really represents Dennis and his style is the Sat Kambing. The peanut sauce that his grandma used to make is now shaped as a real peanut and just a little bit bigger in size. This preparation contains no fewer than 30 different ingredients. For the peanut itself he uses a lot of fragrant cumin seeds, galangal and coriander seeds. And in the salad you will find cucumber, carrot and radish marinated in a sam-tom dressing for a sweet and spicy touch. An explosion and a playbull amuse bouche that sets the tone for a rollercoaster menu.
I have known Chef JJ for almost a decade. In that time, he has always been pushing his boundaries to know and to do more. With his food, he celebrates the traditional by elevating it and putting his own unique touch on it.
I first met Chef JJ almost 10 years ago. He was the first chef of the first wine bar in Harlem, Nectar. It was the second wine establishment from owners Jai Jai Greenfield and Eric Woods after opening their pioneering first true wine-focused store, Harlem Vintage.
Fast forward to 2011 when Nectar had an event to introduce their new chef, JJ Johnson. Before I even laid eyes on him I got to see and taste his food. It was nothing I had tasted before in Harlem. It was fresh and spirited and highlighted the wine list. I also knew how small his kitchen was so to produce high-end bites was no small feat.
Once I finally met Chef JJ and we chatted it up, I knew we were kindred food spirits and he was destined for great things. Unfortunately, in 2012 the economy prevented Jai Jai and Eric from continuing on with the magic of Nectar and Harlem Vintage thereafter.
Chef JJ is not one to let any grass grow under his feet. Since our first meeting at Nectar, I would see him at citywide food events I covered in this column. Like me as a food writer, he would sometimes be the only Black chef and, early on, definitely the only chef from Harlem in the room. We would chat about being the only voices at these events, but be happy to bring it back to our community and push others forward.

New chef Arnout van der Kolk (38) has worked at Envy, Oud Sluis and as a Sous Chef at Ciel Bleu, and for the past 5.5 years he has been the head chef at Restaurant C. According to Arnout, good food goes hand in hand with culture and bringing people together. And man, did we miss that last year!
The dishes on the menu are seasonal and what stands out is that there are more vegetarian and fish dishes on the menu than before. For example, the summer menu features beet with herring, yogurt and rye bread and tomato salad with avocado, fermented cucumber, celery and tomato water. A significant part of the menu will keep changing throughout the year, but true Jansz. classics like the grilled half lobster will remain.
SEATTLE, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Holland America Line is gearing up to open Morimoto By Sea, a new, exclusive dining experience aboard Nieuw Amsterdam opening on the ship's Dec. 16, 2023, voyage, and the first stand-alone restaurant at sea for Chef Masaharu Morimoto. The restaurant will offer delicious, Asian-inspired dishes and beverages from Chef Morimoto, the cruise line's "Fresh Fish Ambassador." The menu will emphasize fresh fish dishes to reflect Holland America Line's new Global Fresh Fish Program. Morimoto By Sea underscores Holland America Line's commitment to providing guests with unforgettable gastronomic experiences on every cruise.
Morimoto By Sea will be located adjacent to the Tamarind restaurant on the Observation Deck. Guests dining at Morimoto By Sea can enjoy a multi-course meal that celebrates the cruise line's fresh fish program and highlights the cuisine of Chef Morimoto. The menu also will include a selection of beef, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Guests who want to enjoy Morimoto By Sea can make reservations on Holland America Line's Navigator App or on board. The restaurant carries a cover charge of $55 per person, plus an additional 18% gratuity.
"Featuring cuisine from an esteemed culinary authority like Chef Morimoto in his signature restaurant elevates our specialty dining experience for guests on Nieuw Amsterdam," said Michael Stendebach, vice president of food, beverage and guest services at Holland America Line. "The menu showcases a symphony of flavors and the freshest ingredients, reflecting the highest standards of culinary excellence from both Holland America Line and Chef Morimoto. We're thrilled to welcome guests there nightly on Nieuw Amsterdam."
The debut of Morimoto By Sea on Nieuw Amsterdam follows Holland America Line's recent launch of its global fresh fish program, which includes a Morimoto By Sea pop-up experience once per cruise on the fleet's other 10 ships in either Pinnacle Grill or Tamarind. The dishes served at Chef Morimoto's restaurant aboard Nieuw Amsterdam, at the pop-up, and all seafood offerings across Holland America Line's fleet are sourced from a global network of 60 ports to serve 80 types of fresh fish on board.
The restaurant also highlights Chef Morimoto's exclusive alcoholic beverages, including Morimoto Dream Brut Ros and Morimoto Junmai Daiginjo Sake that complement the dishes on the menu. Morimoto By Sea will be the newest addition to the chef's extensive list of top-rated restaurants worldwide and his first on a cruise ship.
"The creation of this new restaurant has been a new and exciting experience, and I look forward to sharing my culinary passion with guests aboard Nieuw Amsterdam," said Chef Morimoto. "Morimoto By Sea will bring exceptional flavors and one-of-a-kind dishes to guests sailing around the world with Holland America Line."
In a recent Monday Night episode on Amsterdam, Rick mentioned a newer type restaurant serving meals that were the chefs choice or Chefs Surprise. He showed one in Amsterdam. Can anyone mention their experiences in these and mention the names of these places in Amsterdam and Berlin? Thanks.
I thought Rick was being mostly euphemistic because he didn't want to use the French term 'formule' and couldn't remember the American term 'set menu' at the moment in the show when he was discussing this -- if I'm mistaken and the Dutch do actually use the term 'Chefs Surprise' maybe someone else will enlighten me. What he was saying, though, is generally true throughout the Continent -- the formule is usually the best deal and the freshest/in-season option .
