I bet you’ve never eaten a meal in pitch black conditions, right?

Well, a popular chain of restaurants that got its start in Paris back in 2014 offers diners an experience that stimulates four of the five senses. The only one that’s missing is sight.

This is because at Dans le Noir (whose literal translation means “In the dark”) diners are not able to see anything. They eat their meal in a completely dark environment, which prevents them from seeing their fellow diners as well as the food that is served to them.

The only control that diners have over their meal at Dans le Noir is telling their server their dietary preferences, allergies, and limitations. According to this information, the chefs at the restaurant prepare a tasting meal for them that they are unable to see.

Dans le Noir’s dishes are prepared with delicious and high-quality ingredients that provide a surprising and delicious tasting experience to its diners. The meal usually finds its inspiration in French cuisine.

What’s even cooler about Dans le Noir? Well, its waitstaff consists of people that are either blind or visually impaired, providing them with a job opportunity that they might not have otherwise.

You can eat at this restaurant in cities such as Paris, London, and Madrid. Be sure to try it and have a truly unique dining experience if you get the chance!
