I have just been invited here for dinner http://www.danslenoir.com/london/Welcome to a truly sensory culinary experienceYou are going to live an unbelievable experience: eating or having a drink in the pitch darkness.If this idea seems to be a little strange to you at first, it is maybe because by suppressing the dominant sense of the sight, each person naturally starts a deep self-questioning.With the help of our blinded guides you are going to completely re-evaluate the notion of taste and smelling through our gastronomic and pedagogical process.An ante-room allows visitors to enter the restaurant without any intrusion of light. Dans le Noir? has a special security system and clearly indicated emergency exits, which were approved by the Authorities to ensure customers’ safety.The order is made from the lit bar before visitors are lead to the dark room. Guests are advised to come 20 minutes before mealtime so they can enjoy a cocktail, understand the proposed dining concept with a full explanation of the ordering process.Our blind staff serves you as your guides in this completely unknown environment. They will welcome you in the lit area, lead you to the dark room and take care of you to the end of the whole dining experience. They will sit you, serve you food and drinks and most of all make you feel comfortable with the darkness. You will be surprised to find yourself so comfortable in this completely new and unique atmosphere.Customers are encouraged to use the toilets before getting into the dark room to avoid any interruption to their experience. No one is allowed to move around in the dining area without a guide’s assistance.
It's about your senses BM....you wouldn't understand
They could serve you dog food and you'd be none the wiser...

Only 450 squid for a pair of night goggles! Still, she is being taken out, like I 'spect it'll be a Maccy D's or a Kebab on the way home to compensate for the dubious finger food ...

I saw a TV report / feature on that restaurant some time ago; a very curious experience You just don't know what's going to happen in the ... dark! Anyhoo, in celebration of Mad Men's return it's going to be Chicken Kiev here with sautéed leeks Pedant's Corner: In Mad Men (being Ermerican), they pronounced it KEYEV with the emphasis on the second syllable. The Russians pronounce it KEEF and I guess they should know.
