About the show
Seven Paintings is a multi-sensory immersive dining experience where art, storytelling, and gastronomy collide. Guided by none other than Leonardo da Vinci and the Mona Lisa, guests embark on a journey through seven iconic masterpieces—each brought to life with animation, flavor, and theatrical flair. As art steps off the canvas and onto the plate, diners don’t just watch—they engage. From painting and playful puzzles to unexpected surprises, every moment invites participation in a truly unforgettable evening of interactive, imaginative fun.
