Anyone been to Dans le Noir?
I've just read some reviews and er....
'looking' forward to it a lot less! For anyone who hasn't heard of it - it's based on the restaurant in Paris where it is pitch black and the waiters are blind. [ I gather the idea is to trip them up and get soup over everyone or something ]I'm getting the impression it's a way to pass off mediocre food at elevated prices - but would love some first hand exepriences! Anyone? |

It is a restaurant whereby you sit in complete darkness, and some blind fool serves your dinner

Waiter: "did you enjoy your meal sir ?"
Customer " yes,we particularly enjoyed the crunchy bits in the salad " Waiter "oh yes sir ,the cucumber and lettuce were very fresh" Customer" no no,I meant the meaty things with the hard shells" ![]() I like to see what I'm eating thanks. |

Top Tip
Don't order soup, or anything with gravy, especially if you are going out somewhere afterwards!! I might start my own version of this called Behalten Sie Ruhe Sie Idioten (Keep quiet you idiots!!) A German themed restaurant whereby speaking and music is forbidden, and the waiters are all deaf and dumb |

According to their website... Quote:
We propose one surprise menu with four different versions to best suit everyone’s preferences http://www.danslenoir.com/london/index.phpSurprise WHITE normal surprise Surprise RED no fish, no sea food, no shell fish Surprise BLUE no meat at all Surprise GREEN Vegetarian Please inform us when ordering if you have any other dietary requirements or allergies. The chef will arrange the dish according to your needs so you can be sure that you will not have anything you cannot eat. To be honest, it sounds like a big pile of nonsense to my non-Metropolitan ears.... |

Wait, so you don't order food, you eat what you're given. You don't see what you're eating, so it could be anything, and the waiters can't see you, so you could be eating another table's food, and to top it all off, it's in France, so you don't understand very much of the limited communication you have?
Sounds like a barrel of laughs. ![]() the idea is: by depriving your visual sense: your tastes, *smell etc is hightened. the reality is: you get a big mac and some instant whip and get charged 30 quid ![]() *the smell of the food before you say anything

Well I think it sounds exciting. But then again I'd eat anything.
![]() And then of course there's my nationality.

It's a well known fact that most restaurants have mice....that just love the dark.

I've edited to amend my boo boo about France.
![]() I get the idea, and I think it's a good one, but I just don't understand how it wouldn't be a complete disaster. Can't you go to a normal restaurant and close your eyes? There is one aspect of this I'm looking forwards to... my (aussie) OH gets a bit scared in the dark - well I kind of scare her all the time in the dark - I find it hilarious and I'm sure her tears are those of laughter.... er anyway We went to these underground caves in budapest and there was an area that was completly pitch black.... 3 secs later the blackberries and nokias etc were out ![]() You're right tho - It would be cheaper to sit in a Maccy D's with a scarf round my head

The only thing I know about similar restaurants, is that one was part of a CSI episode and some dude got murdered. I suppose the murderer thought that they would get away with it being in the dark and all.
I'm sure the same fate won't befall you comedyfish
