It is the MOST expensive at $120 per person, but it was so much fun and having entertainment also was worth it. The blindfolds weren't bad at all you forgot you were wearing them.

I'm producing a dinner in the dark event except it's not just a dinner in the dark, it's a full concert (myself and string quartet), a community discussion (the blind waiters take questions from the audience and we discuss about visual impaired/blind issues and celebrate gratitude), AND a dinner in the dark. It's all done in a pitch dark room. The focus is building community so we have the audience eat family style to have to work together! Pretty fun. R Hi there great review!

Maggie, I could picture everything that you described, as Dans le Noir is very similar. Here you get to pick the 'White' (chef's surprise), 'Blue' (seafood), 'Red' (meat) or 'Green' (vegetarian) menu, as well as different price options: Main Entree & main Main & desert 3 course meal Alcoholic Drinks included or not All the waiters here were blind though, so no night vision goggles were needed. It is definitely a culinary experience, where all you have to rely on is your taste buds, and feeling for texture etc. I would love to go again, but now back in Sydney I might have to check out the Melbourne option! I would recommend this to anyone, but it can be quite confronting. Many people I invited refused to go, which I thought was a shame. Thanks for the great article!
