It is definitely a culinary experience, where all you have to rely on is your taste buds, and feeling for texture etc. Here you get to pick the ‘White’ (chef’s surprise), ‘Blue’ (seafood), ‘Red’ (meat) or ‘Green’ (vegetarian) menu, as well as different price options:Īll the waiters here were blind though, so no night vision goggles were needed. Maggie, I could picture everything that you described, as Dans le Noir is very similar. This will be something you will be talking about for weeks and months after its over – promise!įriends and I went to Dans le Noir and had a wonderful experience. The ultimate goal of The Blind Cafe is to improve the quality of people’s lives by influencing how people view themselves, the community and social change through a personal and intimate experience. They do a beautiful job raising positive social change awareness. This event raises awareness for the blind, with a portion of the proceeds going to specified blind organizations depending on the city they are servicing. They start off with a very grounding meet and greet accompanied with Wine and Dark chocolate before leading you into the darkness (no blind folds, which really adds to the mystery). Its spectacular! I attended the San Francisco show and it changed my world. Just to add to Rosh’s comment – Rosh actually founded The Blind Cafe as a pop-up event which means they service over 5 different states through out the year. I just rang, The Dark Side in Melbourne no longer exists 🙁 The blindfolds weren’t bad at all you forgot you were wearing them. It is the MOST expensive at $120 per person, but it was so much fun and having entertainment also was worth it. I just participated in the NYC Dark Dining experience last week which was featured on the cover of Edible Magazine.

Hi I wish I could enjoy something like this. I tipped the waiter with 100 Euro by mistake, lol.Īs for the experience, it’s of course different but for me was nothing sort of special. Beside the fact that it’s a different experience, I would like to warn you about tipping.

Not all are successful instead, most of them stopped only to return to the habit even more strongly. Hence you get the meat while we incorporate out the bonesįrom you. Those considered obese, however, may need to be more careful.
Both retain the friendliness and unpretentious atmosphere you’d expect in a restaurant opened by a clergyman. Since its 1999 opening Spielmann has started a second Blindekuh in Basel, Switzerland.
Not coincidentally, it is also the world’s first restaurant with an all blind waitstaff. The Blindekuh (Blind Cow), Spielmann’s establishment in Zurich, is the world’s first dark restaurant. Here’s our illuminating look at some of the world’s dark restaurants: All of them also have normally lit bathrooms though you’ll need to ask your waiter for help in finding it. Most dark restaurants employ blind waiters, offer a single set menu, and ban anything that could give off light (like cigarettes, cell phones and cameras) from the dinning area. Today you can stumble into dozens restaurants around the world where that question made famous in an American commercial in the 80s - Where’s the beef? - takes on a whole new meaning. That gave Spielmann the idea to open a dark restaurant, which he did in 1999. What Spielmann’s sighted guests found was that the blindfolds heightened their sense of taste and smell and made their dining experience more enjoyable. When guests ate dinner at the Spielmann house some would wear blindfolds during their meal to show solidarity with their host and to better understand his world. The concept of purposefully eating in complete pitch-black dark originated with Jorge Spielmann, a blind clergyman from Zurich. Here’s a restaurant theme you didn’t see coming: darkness.
