🫤 Eating in the dark is a fun expierence, the quality of the food however is terrible. No balance, no exciting tastes and most of it not fresh but storebought. I wonder if they even have a chef. People often mention experience, people, blind, dark,

    I'd say it's a unique experience. You'll eat and drink in a completely dark room together with a group of people. Waiters are actually blind people, which is a nice way to employ them. I appreciated the tastes and smells way more, learned a lot, and guessing the food was really fun. The quality and variety of the dishes is good, can't say if well served, see picture xD Jokes apart, it's a bit expensive in my opinion, especially drinks, but anyway still worth and recommended!

    Very special experience to dine in the dark one evening. The service is done by blind people who serve a standard menu. A beer/wine/soft drink arrangement can be chosen to accompany this menu, or individual drinks. Although it was special to eat in the dark, the food was quite simple, more could have been achieved! Nevertheless, we had a very nice evening!

    Excellent experience, find out how blind people experience the world. Great food, although you cannot see it. Great staff

    A lot to fun to experience the world like blind people would, you really see absolutely nothing and have to do all by smell and feeling. Which makes you appreciate the blind staff even more. Also nothing that gives off any light is allowed inside the dinner area, like phones and watches. The atmosphere is very relaxed and fun and the food is actually quite good also, even though you won't really be full afterwards. The staff speaks enough English to be understandable to foreigners. Only bad points are that the food is not that much and the price for dinner is quite steep. But a great experience nonetheless!

    Very comfortable sitting on the bar stool at the harbour. Very helpful staff and fun to chat with! Enjoyed a few glasses of Pino Griogio and the Light Boat Parade in the harbour.

    The experience of eating in the dark as a blind person experiences it is a sense of reality that you would not otherwise have had. So well thought out! The people who serve are nice and friendly, I found the introduction a little less friendly and almost a bit authoritarian. This young lady could still improve her social skills. I thought the food was of significantly lower quality (I was a chef myself for a long time), the food was simple and simple and the average housewife can do this too, if not better. The food was also lukewarm and for some of our party even cold. Also had the clear idea that not all of it was freshly prepared. If you want people to experience such an experience, I think you have to play with more taste and let people experience the taste. The waiter serves and then leaves. People stay away for a long time and if you have to go to the toilet, you have a problem. Shouting didn't help, so that's a major concern. It's a shame because the concept is well thought out and the success can be and become greater than it is now and I fear that the success and attention in this way will not last long.

    Cool experience! The fact that you are in total darkness and served by blind waiters is awesome. It makes you realize how much you eat with your eyes. Finding your food on it's plate is a challenge, let alone trying to bring it to your mouth. We had about 4 courses which were tasty but very special.

    Good location for drinks by the water.

    It was a super cool experience and a nice atmosphere. Definitely worth it. Below is another photo of the food.

    Amazing experience! Highly recommended. The waiter told us what it was like for her to be visually impaired. The food was of good quality and clearly did not detract from the experience

    A really cool experience! A very unique way to test your taste and a pleasant evening. Real compliments for the entire concept. Also really compliments for the staff who work in the dark, very friendly and clear. Thank you for the experience and see you again!
