Enjoy a globe hopping dinner date

IMAGINE a dinner date with your significant other where you are taken on a six-course, four-dimensional experience.

Well, there’s no need to wonder because that’s exactly what Dinner Time Stories is offering.

I recently had the opportunity to enjoy the experience, which follows “The Footsteps of Marco Polo” through a journey across the world in 4D tabletop mapping projection at the Faircity Quatermain Hotel.

Le Petit Chef, a small and flamboyant animated adventurer, took us on a guided journey around the world where we got to taste authentic cuisine from places like the Himalayan mountains, India and China. The experience wrapped up in Marseilles, where we experienced a fusion of flavours from all of the places visited along the journey with a traditional French finale with a twist. It’s a mesmerising experience, and I’m hardly surprised when the franchise owner, Paul Rouessart, explained how these last few weeks have been incredibly busy for them. “It’s crazy at the moment.

“We’re fully booked for most of our dinners over the weekend, and we have limited seats available for lunch time and some of the weekday shows,” he said.

This concept was originated by two Belgian animators. After posting their original table top projections on Youtube, they quickly shot up to 10 million hits in three months.

Shortly thereafter, entrepreneur Nadine Beshir realised they were on to something big when she came across the concept and contacted the duo. And so began the concept of Dinner Time Stories.

The menu, put together by executive chef Tristan Latouf, went through a rigorous vetting process that included numerous tastings before they settled with what they currently have.
