Restaurant Dans le Noir Review

Experience at least once, personally I would retouch

Very good experience surrounded by extremely warm and competent staff to strongly recommend to our friends. Well done the waiters ... Catherine and Pascal

Place to say the least original. Eating in complete darkness was a first. In addition the staff are charming, and the food is very good.

Interesting experience to "test the taste buds" and learn to trust ...

The experience is unique, eat in absolute dark! You do not choose what you go to eat, the menu is surprise. You can however indicate your preferences if you are allergic (without fish, pigs, etc.) ... A server (blind) accompanies you in the room and takes care of you throughout the meal. The tables are designed to encourage interaction with neighbors and neighbors (carafe shared water etc). Touch contact assured ^^

The prices are high compared to the quality of the food, but the experience is worth seeing.

If this restaurant is supposed to be an example of what it's like to be blind, then my god visually impaired people have it really really bad. Food was bland and served at breakneck speed, the room was too crowded, too loud and way too cold. Dans Le Noir was basically just a high school cafeteria experience. But, you know, in the dark.

Very nice experience.
I recommend it.
I really like to have the opportunity to chat with our amazing waiter who was blind about his life.
The food was very good but not transcending.
They could also have improved the structure of the experience to make it a bit more spectacular: for example ending it with lights slowly coming up in the dining room while a table at the center presents the meal you just ate...

Really a great experience, very friendly. Experience at least once in a lifetime

Great experience, we had a drink but we will come back for dinner. To do absolutely.

Awesome restaurant, great experience, quality meal, local and seasonal food. Great !

The dishes are very well seasoned, but the deviant experience really unforgettable especially thanks to the surprise. It is very intense to experience other senses than vision. In addition, the service deserves to be recognized as an essential part of the whole - very welcoming, efficient and kind.

Awesome experience to renew delicious food a bit expensive but really worth it

Very interesting experience, which helps to become aware of the importance of the priori in our relationship with others .... Our guide was kind, warm and allowed us to spend a very pleasant and joyful evening with our neighbors!

Cool experience, but did not enjoy the food that much.

First time dining in the dark! The experience is hard to describe unless you have done it yourself. Your tastebuds and mind play tricks on you.

The food was delicious with excellent quality ingredients (80% of the vegetables are organic). They also have multiple dietary options including for pescatarians and vegans.

Overall, I really enjoyed the experience here. The staff/guides/waiters were all so nice. They made a mistake with my food order at first (vegetarian instead of meat), but quickly corrected it.

Culinary experience: 2 * (not bad but poor price / quality ratio)
Sensory and human experience: 4 *
To do ... once, with friends. Or more if you are not difficult.

Very good experience, avoid if you are clostrophobic the feeling is a little special but between friends is very nice and the dishes were all very good

An excellent experience that I recommend to everyone. A friendly team, very good menu, clear explanations

Very nice concept. Very good time spent with strangers at the table. A little disappointed with the food which was good, without being exceptional. In any case, experience to do once!

Good experience to live very fun ... however a little noisy and progress to be made on the quality of meals and wines

Exceptional !!! To do at least once in a lifetime! What an experience shared with our blind servers! Thanks to Mohand for his kindness. And very soon for my birthday :)))))))))))

Great experience, the food was excellent and our waiter was very friendly!

Nice experience to live. We were supported by Rada. You are led to your table one behind the other, a hand on the shoulder of the one who precedes you. The appetizer was delicious, the dish too. By cons, dessert, we did not understand. The agreement with the wine was not adequate and it crushed the flavors of a dessert that associated itself too many different tastes. Eating in total darkness helps to share the moment of the meal differently. Very nice time but I was impatient to leave the room, as it is destabilizing.

Really original. Very average dishes. Table shared with other people. Must try once to not die silly

Not a fan of sweets but when I visit Paris, everyone tells me to try this ice cream so I did.

It is a nice surprise. Not too sweet. Creamy. Definitely good ice cream.

I had the tiramisu flavor in a cup. One scoop was enough for me. You can also get it in a cone.

Impressive experience. Not very reassuring to be in complete darkness but the servers are nice! A real surprise when you eat the dish! You have to eat everything! For my part I enjoyed the meat but the rest because it is not for my taste! But it is a beautiful experience, it makes you laugh too! Noisy room of the shot. And high prices!

Friendly atmosphere and tasty dishes. The experience is also worth for the discovery of its neighbors of table!

I loved great service very welcoming the dishes were tasty and fresh!

A destabilizing but brilliant experience! We arrive with many fears but they are quickly dispelled by a team of servers to the care for the guests

I have tried dans la noir in Barcelona and London, and those branches set the bar very high for the Paris branch. I was very underwhelmed with the food and the experience. The food was not appetising the smells and textures, I couldn t eat half of it. Lack of good taste in food, I doubt even they have a chef doing the courses which is how it s supposed to be. I expected to eat different kind of things that are unique and special to make the experience even better, but again I was disappointed. Ended up paying 55 euros for bad quality meal and a mediocre experience. Our waiter was amazing non the less. However, Everything seemed very rushed,y. I ve had one of the best experiences in both London and Barcelona the food was beyond amazing. But Paris branch was not upto to the standards.

Great hospitality, strange sensations to discover what you eat in the dark. We learn to appreciate even more all the things of life that we can see.

Very good experience: Warm welcome, excellent meal (and taking into account allergies or others), good atmosphere ... great discovery!

Very funny. A surprising conviviality settles between the guests, all in the dark waiting and analyzing the dishes. The room is quite noisy, it takes a little time to get used to it. Quite expensive too but to test for the concept!

Interesting concept.
Experience spoiled by a bad smell of the room.
The dishes are not up to par, ingredients of low quality for a price which becomes prohibitive.

Amazing sensory experience! As we were there one couple could not take the fact that they could not see anything so they were guided out. The food was very tasty and the service is supplied by people who were blind....and they were quite good. It was such an interesting experience we went to the similar restaurant in Vancouver Canada. This is a must visit restaurant!!!

Super experience thank you very much to all the staff a big congratulations

This place is a great experience to try. However the food was not the best, we waited more than expected, and the waiter talked about the pice of the meal that I paied in front of my valentine, this is something to try at least one. One way or another, you won't forget it.

I liked the restaurant, the atmosphere was good and warm, the concept of eating in the dark is very good, just a little expensive, but the staff is attentive and the dishes are good, we are really transported in the dark on the lookout for our other senses than that of life, to conclude a very good restaurant concept good experience to do.

A star for the theme because the rest is totally execrable! The dishes served are of poor quality and for the price, there is something to leave with a bit of bitterness ... Maybe the kitchen is also done in the dark?

Interesting concept, meal report / price too expensive and unfortunately too expeditious with a lack of privacy

Experience to be had, great welcome, friendly atmosphere, very kind waiter :)
Unfortunately very disappointed dishes compared to the price! 73 euros for what we have to eat as a main dish, I don't call that gastronomy ... And a dessert not very generous or refined for the price ... Service to be imperatively reviewed because we had to ask far too many times water, bread, our glasses of wine ... Put an extra waiter for the evening in my opinion.

The experience is a must !! I recommend nothing to complain about the reception was top! the food was plentiful and very good !! bravo to the cook!
being in the dark really awakens the taste of flavors !!
Congratulations to the whole team ! thank you to Mohand for having accompanied us in the dark and above all for making us laugh a lot!

Surprising experience, good organic and balanced dish. Avoid if you are claustrophobic .. Complete in the dark .. At the beginning you need your mind to get used to it ... Then you can hear the noise of the cutlery, the discussions of other customers .. And the voice of our waiters blinded. Do it once experience.

Nice experience
A sensory immersion to live

Unusual experience to do once, we were disappointed with this evening because in the room we are sitting sticking tight with our neighbors on the left and on the right. There is no privacy, therefore impossible to have a discussion. We nudged each other while eating so space was limited.
In addition, the dishes served are not worth the exorbitant price we pay.
The room is very noisy and it is very hot.
The experience of taste without sight is interesting, it will remain the only positive point of the evening.

Unique experience. Momo was an excellent host. The meal was tasty.

Always a wonderful experience, tonight with family!

Experience to live at least once in a lifetime! I enjoyed the time of a drink but I could not have held longer.

Funny experience
But we liked and we will test it

An experience which in the first few minutes is disconcerting and disturbing but, if we let ourselves go, transports us to a unique tasting where the taste is no longer influenced by our sight. The flavors are more intense, the associations of ingredients on the plates are thought out, each dish marks the mind, our brain is in a perpetual quest to identify each element. The gourmet formula can be intimidating by the quantity of dishes offered, but it does not require a 3-day fast or a huge stomach and remains a generous menu in terms of flavor and quantity.
The darkness in which we are plunged may make us want to flee at the beginning but everything is done to enjoy the positive side of this atmosphere: very warm and friendly welcome, fast service and very reassuring support from the guides.
Finally, a time after the tasting is dedicated to the discovery of the dishes and the ingredients that compose them which is really the icing on the cake in order to close this evening. Thanks to the team!

The team of visually impaired waiters give you their techniques and daily tips for eating and taking my dishes. They have incredible patience and a sense of sharing.
The experience of life taking you eat in the TOTAL dark, only the taste, smell and touch melts all the work during the meal.
Attention claustrophobic refrain.

Super concept. A unique experience. Very nice waiters. We can perhaps blame the slightly high prices but it's really worth it

Very good experience.
Pleasant staff.

A star for the staff and one for the "experience". For the rest it's a big "bof". After the first few minutes in the dark and the discovery of the experience, we get tired very quickly. It is noisy, the service is long and the meal not so good. The flavors are not extraordinary and the dishes not really sought after. We can easily guess what we eat, spoiling the surprise effect when discovering the menu. And the price is so expensive!
All that for this ?! Hmm ...
Go your way or go there to please.

Cool experience. Eating blindly good food. Very Niceservice

A great experience with a team that listens to us and shares with good humor its world.

A great experience, a warm welcome, a waiter (Yamen) filled with humor. A very good meal, full of flavors, giggles ... in short I recommend +++

average cuisine, a little expensive despite the original concept

The concept is just great you really have to do this experience at least once! The disappointment comes especially at the level of taste it was really bad, it's a pity the moment is suddenly a bit spoiled I found the meat dry ... And the taste not really topp .. Especially for the price, we felt like just paying for the concept ...

Great experience, very unique. Something everybody needs to try at least once !

It is an incredible experience, really different, a very unusual evening where we eat in total darkness! We do not know the menu in advance we must guess in the dark what we eat and we are shown leaving the contents of the plates. The waiters are blind, we can share their world and put themselves in their place during the meal.
Really nice, to do! I advise.

To do ! concept existing in several capitals in the world.

The 5 senses are linked, undeniably.

Remove the sight and the others are tenfold.

Some seek to compensate with the hands ...

Do not look too intimacy here, it's tables stuck to neighbors and carafe water to share.

Delirious and nice to remake willingly.

Too bad the food is not high quality ... But good, saving energy, saving space tables, saving time on the presentation of dishes ... A worse than profitable concept!

Go ahead with your eyes closed :)

Very nice experience to put yourself in the place of a blind person.
This helps to understand how many difficulties they overcome.
As for the menu it was full of surprises, very original and hearty.
Without eyes it's another adventure.
Moreover the meal is very convivial because it favors the exchanges.
I recommend it to you.

An unforgettable experience in a very friendly atmosphere. Learning blind tasting which allows you to focus on the other senses ... and it's particularly relaxing! ..Where we realize the visual pollution .... Very rewarding. Amazing efficiency servers. Good job and thanks to all.

Interesting experience. Informative staff and smiling. I loved it

A sensory experience to do. The system is well thought out and well prowled. The team (sighted and blind) is very friendly. Only downside: Price a little expensive and 2 drinks would be largely sufficient in the tasting menu.

A din of all the devils, for the ultimate experience, certainly original, but ultimately uncomfortable. To flee

Meal too expensive for the quality of food and wine.
The experience is unique!

Nice experience to do at least once. Very pleasant and attentive staff

A great moment as much by the gastronomy as the humility that one must draw from it. Yves.

An experience to live! The meal is not exceptional but it is nevertheless good and once again the concept deserves and deserves to be widely known.

Place of sharing, listening and surpassing oneself with a very good meal and good staff

I went for the 3rd time and I still love as much as more! The restaurant has a clear rise in culinary range and taste! That was delicious !! It is a unique experience for the senses. Run there!

The concept is great
I loved
To do at least once

I know lots of famous people have tried it, but with it being a set menu cooked in bulk I figure one are basically paying 50 for what would be 10-15 at a buffet. I also expected more aroma and flavour from the food, but it was rather bland, perhaps to try to avoid offending anyone, since the food is a "surprise", you only find out afterwards what was served.

Good restaurant with an interesting and original concept. We were guided by Karim who took very good care of us and kindly accompanied us.
