I can be a fussy eater… so I will say that the starter and the dessert was amazing!!! So much so that I ran my finger thru the plate to make sure it was empty. The main was not my cup of tea, not that I disliked it all, but there were items that I did not enjoy – however, my partner and everyone else on the table raved about every single dish.The meal was very tasty and a real buzz to the senses. I LOVED the experience and will recommend to all my friends. It’s a must do.
Went for Valentines Day. Had the 2 course Vegan meal. Matched my meal with a surprise cocktail and my partners was matched with a wine for each course. Was the most fun dining experience Ive ever had. The waiter was so accommodating and guided us all through it all, so there wasnt a single issue on my table of 12. The cocktail was amazing and my partner said her wines were well worth their price. Although it was a bit pricey overall, the meals themselves were great, we did use our fingers though to avoid any mess on the table (utensils were impossible to use). Will be back for another special occasion!
I was lucky enough to get a gift voucher for a dinner here and had always wanted to try it. I ended up going alone and after speaking to them if its super awkward alone or not decided to give it a go. It was slightly awkard at first but better when in the dark. so dont let it put you off going alone if you want to. food was good although wasnt convinced i knew what I ate until i saw photos, was something different andd completely pitch black. length of time is about right, think i would go stir crazy if sat in dark any longer, as miss looking at things. all in all good fun and worth a go. and I only spilled a small bit of food on myself haha. cant add any photos obviously, as couldnt see what I ate, got shown them when we left but wont ruin the surprise. I had the trust the chef option with surprise wine
This is an amazing dining experience. Being in pitch black really heightens the other senses, which gives a very unique experience. Staff are friendly and helpful. The wait staff are open and friendly, really enabling you to have a glimpse into their world of no or only partial sight. The food and wine sections are great, always with something different and with a huge variety of textures and flavours to make the most of the rest of your heightening senses. This is a great night out, where you will get to know your table companions, those you came with and those you get seated next to. It’s a night were you are totally focused in the now, with no distractions of phones or how to eat something gracefully as no one can see you! An experience to remember and to repeat when the menus selections change.
Loved every bit of this experience. Went in there without expectations. I really did not know what to really expect which made the experience even more exciting. Amazing staff! Jacintha was great. Bug yes what was unique was the experience and the feelings that came out of it. The gratitude for being able to see since on was born. But also discovering that when you actually lose one sense your other senses get stronger. Bringing also so much more mindfulness for those 2 hours. Being mindful pouring water; mindful eating, mindful of our gestures. And food was amazing. They tricked us well on the entree! We thought it was fish while it was meat! Just awesome!
What an incredible sensory experience this was! On a night out with my bestie, we went along somewhat apprehensively to the Dans le Noir waiting area. We were introduced to our waiter, who was blind. She was absolutely delightful. Then came the part where we were led into the dark room – and it was really, seriously dark. Overcoming an initial 8 mins of internal panic and an overflowed glass of water (senses required to know when the glass is full!), I settled down into the blackness of the room under the kind instruction of our waiter.Three courses were delivered and each course involved smelling and touching the food to understand what we were eating. My friend and I had the Vegan menu and all courses were delicious, in particular the incredible cheesecake at the end. Best part is you’re in the dark so no one can see if you lick your plate!
It was a wonderful experience. We had a lot of fun guessing the food, and the waitresses were lovely, funny and so helpful. The food is truly delightful, and the portions very generous. Thanks so much
