Chef's Table

Sofitel Melbourne has thrown open the kitchen doors on the back-of-house traditions and techniques that have made Le Restaurant the most highly awarded hotel restaurant in Australia. You and up to seven friends can participate in this unique dining experience and discover the secrets of the master chefs.

Usually, one can only imagine what goes on in the kitchen of a five star hotel. How many chefs does it take to serve four or five courses for up to 100 guests? How do they time the preparation and service each dish? How long does it take the Executive Pastry Chef to create a work of edible art, such as the delicately spun sugar on dessert?

The table is located within the kitchen of Le Restaurant, adjacent to the service area, with a birds eye view of the action.

Enjoy a specially tailored five-course degustation menu with wines matched by the hotel's sommelier.
