Fancy having dinner in complete darkness?

What started in Paris, has recently opened in London. A unique sensory and culinary experience to re-evaluate the notion of taste. Throughout the whole meal, you sit in complete darkness- understanding what it's like to be blind, served by the blind, and with the blind becoming your eyes. It's a strange experience- from arriving in the bar, getting accustomized to the lighting, and then being led through to your seat. A once in a lifetime and definitely worth a visit.

You have to do it once in your life

As I rate this above expectations I am trying to figure out what I had been expecting. Quiet, intimate and maybe a little unnerving, but actually noisy, fun and very unnerving until you get to grips with what is happening. I probably would not go back, becuase the thrill would not be the same, but would HIGHLY rec anyone else to go. Go as small group of friends, not as a couple, then just take it all in and leave with a respect for the partially sighted based on an insight (!) to their world
Thank God for giving you sight
Insane fun! - I agree with the previous review, I came out of there with real respect for the partially sighted! It is a good experience but it felt like a social experiment. – I selected a vegetarian option as I would not eat meat or fish if I could not see it – I think it tasted ok – I was too taken aback with the lack of sight and the lack of being able to find my cutlery, knocking my wine glass over several times. I had to be helped by my waiter – who was blind.
