Calgary will soon be host to a theatrical dining experience featuring a six-centimetre-tall cartoon chef.

Le Petite Chef, coming to Bistro Novelle at The Dorian hotel, takes patrons on an immersive culinary journey blending technology with cookery.

The show uses 3D video-projected animation to allow guests, while seated at their table, to watch the wild antics of a tiny animated chef as he 'prepares their meals' -- all four courses. 

The real meals, not actually cooked by a cartoon, are then served once the scenes are done.

Officials say The Dorian is the "first and only venue in Alberta" to host Le Petite Chef, a feature at 64 restaurants across 30 countries.

The compact cook will be available from Wednesdays to Sundays, beginning Feb. 10.

Guests have to arrive at Bistro Novelle at 6 p.m., with the experience running from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Ticket go on sale on Jan. 27, and are $129 for adults and $65 for kids ages 5-12.
