2024 is about making new and exciting memories and where better than one of London’s most unique dining experiences Dans Le Noir ?
Famed for appearing in the Richard Curtis directed, blockbuster film, About Time, this unique dining experience casts aside conventional dining norms and rituals, and offers diners the chance to enjoy a meal with loved ones in complete darkness, completely transforming the way guests perceive food.
The concept is simple but effective. Visitors enter a pitch-black dining room where they are guided to their seats by visually impaired servers, they then rely on their senses of taste, smell and touch to experience the food. With no distractions from the visual world, diners must trust their other senses to navigate the culinary journey.
Before the experience, you don’t choose what you’re going to enjoy in the dark, you just tell the team what you can’t eat and they adapt the menu so that your experience is complete and safe. Then it’s up to you to play and rediscover flavours, ingredients, grape varieties, wine regions, etc.
During the experience, diners can expect an exquisite menu created by the talented chefs who have meticulously selected the best, in season, organic ingredients, to offer creations specific to eating in pitch black.
After the unique dining experience, diners are then brought back into the light and the Dans Le Noir ? team then runs through the menu and shows photos of the dishes and drinks that were served. More often than not this completely surprises guests, with how wrong they are with what they thought they were eating and encourages them to visit again, to improve their sensory acuity and culinary culture!
A unique sensory and human experience you will remember forever and want to do time and again.
