Dans le Noir


Dans Le Noir ? is a chain of restaurants where guests are served in total darkness, a concept called dark dining or blind dining. "Dans le Noir ?" also diversified its activities into shops and spas.

Dans Le Noir was founded in 2004 in Paris by Edouard de Broglie, a French entrepreneur. Subsequent locations were opened in London, Barcelona, New York (now closed), St. Petersburg, and Nairobi. The London location is featured in a key scene in the 2013 movie About Time. The New York location closed in 2012.

"Dans Le Noir ?" claims that through limiting the sense of sight, other senses are intensified but also relations between people. Diners at "Dans Le Noir ?" have little knowledge of the entrées, appetizers, desserts, and wine choice of their meal, which is primarily inspired by French cuisine. Diners are served by either blind or visually impaired waitstaff. A percentage of the profits support charities in different countries.
