What to expect at Dining in the Dark?
A secret menu will be served over 90 minutes, prepared with the finest ingredients. Although we can’t disclose the menu, you can expect fresh and complex flavors that will have you salivating all evening long.
Why would anyone choose to enjoy a meal in the dark you ask? The theory with eating in the dark is that your other senses, namely, taste, touch, and smell take over to elevate your meal to a whole new level. You focus, they sharpen and what’s sweet becomes sweeter, what’s sour becomes sourer and you savor your meal unlike ever before.
And it’s not just the food that becomes more intriguing; the darkness also alters the way we communicate and relate to one another, which is also why it’s a great date idea. You can really get to know how the other person reacts in a situation, where they have to do everything while blindfolded. Certainly, blindfolds will be provided to all guests, which are deep-cleaned after each use. Guests will be guided through the evening with an emcee, and the Chef might even reveal the meal at the end of the experience!
