The food is not top notch gourmet but it is still very very good. The whole experience is more than worth the money. You'll probably end up eating with your fingers. Go with your significant other and not a friend. The experience is very sensual and you'll get much more out of it that way.

A unique experience to try at least once! You will be accompanied to your table in complete darkness by a blind or visually impaired attendant to your table. The guides take care of the service and do not hesitate to help you if necessary. If you are allergic to a product it is replaced, you must indicate this when booking. When you forget, they modify the dish directly on the spot. You discover the dishes at the exit of the room.

Besides eating well, it's fun to hear that everyone thinks they are eating something different. Some don't really have a fine palate which makes the meal really fun.

Once again the staff are really great, welcoming and caring.

The concept is surprising and the atmosphere is successful. The meal a sophisticated and not necessarily tasty is not suitable for the experience. In the end we do not know if we do not recognize the dishes because of the darkness or because the dish is complex to see sneaky

Surprising experience. The food is really good but the tastes look totally different when you do not see what you eat.
The view of the menu at the end with photo surprised us: there are tastes that we did not recognize at all.

At first I was uncomfortable with being at a collective table but the places are wide enough so that we never hit the people next to us.

I went there last year. It was an experience rich in sensations. Unfortunately I did not like the dish at all (red tuna and lentil). Our waitress was just great
RIP at my friend's shirt that spilled wine on him
Great experience

Unique experience! I highly recommend! We made a friend of the la.bad and was a top. The waiters are really nice. Only small problem you must indicate your dietary restrictions. I said I did not eat meat and one of the staff told me that there was salmon. In principle people do not have to know what they are going to eat just to rediscover the flavors, I would have preferred not to know which fish they would serve me. But sinn it's really really great

Totally disappointed with this restaurant. The concept is good, but that's it.
The waitress spilled wine and chocolate on us twice.
We are crammed into a room, 6 on a table of 4, my knees we could get to know the neighbor's knees throughout the evening (and I am only 1.50m) an impression of suffocation for 2 hours.
Everything is badly organized from start to finish !!!
The quality of the cuisine is not worthy of gourmet cuisine.
180 For two a scam !!!

The concept is cool! That's why I'm coming back to introduce it to other people! But I must admit that we pay for the originality on the bill. The meal is good, without deserving this price! Nice service though, and again, a good concept and a great mentality. Despite everything, an experience to be had!

An experience, clearly!

An experience, clearly!
Much unexpected, our simple daily habits are upset. Do you know how to pour yourself a glass of wine? Hold a fork upright? And find where you put them
The taste buds are put to the test. The textures, tastes and quantities take on a whole new dimension!
I highly recommend, to live in pairs, alone or with others.
A big thank you to Fazia, our waitress, for her presence and her support throughout this meal

- "Do you want to eat in the dark with me?"

- "Do you want to eat in the dark with me?"
- "Come on, why not? :)"
A small call to the restaurant, there is room for the session of 20h.


So if you imagine that you will be able to distinguish a little glows of what is happening in your dishes and next, forget! In the dark, it's black TOTAL!

We are made to choose a formula (from 44euros e + p or p + d), our choice is on the tasting menu (e + p + d, a glass of wine at each stage) at 64 euros. Yes, yes, it's very expensive. and it is "blind" because we do not choose what we eat.

We put our stuff in lockers under keys, not laptops at tables (I validate the concept!);
We are seated at the table, we are guided to our seats in the shadows, and we are happy to be seated in safety.

The tables are very close to each other, even stuck, which makes it easy to prick bread from neighbors. Anyway, they do not see us :) The atmosphere is friendly because we hear the thoughts of everyone and that the servers call us by our first names.

The servers are blind; I confirmed this point when I asked my waitress "and you have already eaten in the dark?", and she said "yes, every day, I'm used to" ( pellet....).

The advantage of being in the dark is that we are immediately at ease at the table (free to scratch, to remove his pumps, to put everywhere).
My companion and I even played to be tasted in the plate of the other and toast with each dish.
The disadvantage is that it's really not practical and you risk at any time to shake his glass of wine on his plate. After a few minutes of big blunders, we still quickly good reflexes (no sudden gestures, we hold his glass when the waitress serves or clears). Techniques for "stuffing food into the fork with the knife" are being developed to avoid eating mashed potatoes by hand. A chance on two so that the fork is empty when arriving near the mouth but it's good, must eat slowly, it seems.

Side content of the plate, it's ok. I tasted tasty things, like bland things. The advantage is that the plates are composed of assortment of a little bit of everything, so we try to find the tastes. Clearly, we do not go for the training of the plate so it does not matter the disposition "in pile". I do not reveal the contents of the plates, it is "surprise". Small disappointment for the dessert that I looked very industrial taste. I think he could have made an effort and put a real pastry. The wines chosen were classic.

Conclusion of this extension: if you are curious, that you have the means and you are not afraid of the dark, try the experiment. It's friendly, fun and enriching from a human point of view.

This experience is awesome !! The concept in complete darkness is great I loved it! Our server was very friendly. And suddenly thanks to the pitch black we met our table neighbors, it's very funny!
Only 4 stars because it's a bit expensive for what we ate (quantity and quality)

We had dinner in this restaurant last night, correct meal, interesting experience, only downside when the neighbors speak too loud and prevents discussions, it would take a little more space between the tables. To live once for the sensations brought.

To test once in a lifetime because it is a great experience !! However, we took the menu from appetizer to dessert with wine. Not being used to this type of experience I found the moment a bit long.

Enriching experience, but more human and sensory than culinary. To deprive oneself of sight for a moment is very interesting. Too bad, however, that the concept of tasting in the dark is not pushed further ...

I chose a meal with appetizers, dishes, desserts + 3 glasses of wine. The price is exorbitant, but I went there with my eyes closed with the certainty of having a taste experience worthy of a star restaurant but also a unique experience in the dark.
First of all, I advise people who are not clostrophobic to take part in it because immersing themselves in the complete darkness is really confusing. Do not be cautious about touching strangers etc. But this part of the evening is part of the game and is not so annoying.
However, there is no intimacy with the person (s) with whom we share our table. Because yes everyone is poked together. Not even a basket of bread delimits us. Besides, we share it with everyone. The sound quality is awful. Impossible to discuss as there is noise. Even the waiters raised their voices asking us to speak less loudly. But it was impossible.
As for the dishes. It's more than mediocre. We do not know what is on the plate suddenly it is impossible to make any claim and they play clearly. The price of this service should not exceed the 30th, so it is a joke. The wines are completely ignoble, served in plastic glasses (I understand the logistical concerns but it totally changes the quality) the wines are not grands crus, nor even medium range, the association with the dishes is worse than incoherent.
Finally they take us to a room to make us discover what we ate. It's just a big joke ... go your way without hesitation. for this price I could have eaten an incredible meal with incredible wines

Such a great experience. Must DO IT once.

Such a great experience. Must DO IT once.

Gotta say from the very beginning when they tell you its your turn to get in, you see NOTHING at all, not even for a second. They lose you a bit inside the maze they got installed. Lovely decision to be guided by blind waiters, they mix you up a bit, .. but then you are sitting almost in front of your couple, but sometimes hearing some other languages which makes this experience unique.

Had a 3 course meal and overall it was quite nice, if not amazing. Starter was a soup with truffle and then as main had some mixed chicken, fish and veggies to end up with a fruity ice-cream which was one of the highlights.

Not being able to see what you eating makes it hard but interesting and I think it maks you heighten your other senses. I ended up finishing my main course with my hands and tongue but I loved it.

Strongly recommend doing it at least once
PS- Maybe a bit expensive tho

Troubling experience, but try it out as a game! Rather good dishes but not plentiful.
Too bad the room is too small and crowded by people .. given the price there could be fewer people. I did not like this proximity to people, especially since I was very scared at the start .. I did not feel accompanied or guided in my feelings in the dark .. so the fact of being surrounded by lots of people is not necessarily reassuring.
Finally it is not because we do not see that we do not smell .. I did not appreciate that the cutlery, glasses, seats and tables are of very poor quality .. We clearly feel that the experience remains only at the entertainment stage .. a lot of points to improve ./

charming place, we eat in the dark, ideal to have a good time with these friends, family etc. There is a warm welcome and so the place is surprising. I recommend this place, it changes a lot of the other place, it is different.

It was a long time since I wanted to go but I had a doubt. The welcome is nice and we explain the concept. Then the experience begins, yes it is indeed a unique experience that is difficult to reoriductible home, because here even the place is unknown to you.
Happy, surprised, delighted are just some of the adjectives that qualify this experience. In fact it confirms that the view is very important because when you do not see what you eat, it seems bland .....

Great human and culinary experience. The staff is adorable especially Karim our guide waiter during this meal. The very nice welcome also we leave the restaurant at the moment and we are delighted.
An experience to live at least once in his life. The opinions you find on the internet are very critical because completely unjustified to the limit of gratuitous wickedness.
I highly recommend if you are looking for a different culinary experience.

The 3 stars is for the concept, it is a nice experience, and we are served by blind people, feel at their place is impressive, however the quality of the kitchen was average, the day after the experience we were disturbed at the intestinal level. It's expensive for what it is, and in terms of taste it was average.

A tempting experience, a disappointing result.

A tempting experience, a disappointing result.
It is not enough to have a concept, it is necessary to make it live successfully. The only revelation is that of being in absolute darkness. The room is extremely noisy, the groups huddled together take advantage of the screams and exclamations in an exhausting hubbub. Cooking has no interest. The dishes served do not benefit from tasting in the dark: no effort on textures, smells, tastes. The menu hardly seems to change over the months if we refer to previous opinions. The only difference for us is the lack of strawberries replaced at short notice by watermelon !!! We are delighted that it was left in the fridge! In short, no inventiveness.
To try in a better "day" ... lol

It's absolutely GREAT. Even knowing roughly what to expect we are still surprised by the professionalism of the staff. Not only the promised experience of altering the taste of food is well to go, but in addition we tend to let go to discuss with people seated with you (even not knowing them) because of the anonymity of the darkness. A user-friendly experience that allows you to meet new faces. To do and recommend absolutely

Awesome what to say

Awesome what to say
An experience really to be had because we are not the ones that life has in store for us.
We can see absolutely nothing, we are in total darkness we are left with the guide by the waiter who helps us and who is present, what a laughing charm.
You start to sympathize with your neighbor at the table who nods to you in the evening as if you were between friends.
The menus that are offered are in the choice are quite correct that its price and quality.
WHOLESALE I SUCCESSFULLY RECOMMEND YOU especially to do this EXPERIENCE
AND FOR ONCE UNDERSTAND SOMEONE WHO HAS A DISABLED WITHOUT JUDGING BECAUSE TOMORROW YOU MAY ALSO BE IN THE DARK ......

About Restaurant Dans le Noir

Restaurant Dans le Noir: A Unique Sensory Experience

If you're looking for a dining experience that's out of the ordinary, Restaurant Dans le Noir is the place to be. Located in Paris, this restaurant offers a unique sensory experience that will leave you amazed and delighted.

What sets Restaurant Dans le Noir apart from other restaurants is its concept of dining in complete darkness. Yes, you read that right - when you dine at this restaurant, you'll be eating your meal in pitch-black darkness. This may sound daunting at first, but it's actually an incredibly liberating experience.

When you arrive at the restaurant, you'll be greeted by friendly staff who will guide you to your table. You'll then be given a menu to choose from - but here's the catch: the menu is written in Braille! Don't worry if you don't know how to read Braille; the staff will help guide you through it.

Once your order has been taken, it's time for the main event - dining in complete darkness. The waiters are all visually impaired or blind and are experts at navigating their way around the restaurant without any light. They'll guide each dish to your table and describe what's on your plate so that you can fully appreciate each flavor and texture.

Dining in complete darkness may seem like a novelty gimmick, but there's actually some science behind it too. When we eat with our eyes closed or in complete darkness, our other senses become heightened - particularly our sense of taste and smell. This means that every bite of food becomes more intense and flavorful than ever before.

But Restaurant Dans le Noir isn't just about dining; they also offer an Espace Sensoriel (Sensory Space) where guests can explore their senses even further through various activities such as wine tasting or perfume workshops.

The team behind Restaurant Dans le Noir believes that everyone should have access to unique sensory experiences regardless of their abilities or disabilities. That's why they've created an inclusive environment where everyone can come together and enjoy something truly special.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience that will stimulate all your senses while also promoting inclusivity and accessibility for all guests – look no further than Restaurant Dans le Noir!
