While the dining experience at Dans le Noir was incomparable and quite interesting, the caliber of the food left much to be desired. The server was very nice and helpful, and do not be led astray: it is absolutely pitch black in there and your eyes will not adjust.

But once you get the hang of cutting your food and pouring your wine, the lackluster caliber of the food begins to set in. An interesting one-time experience, but I certainly don't see myself going back. I would definitely order the Surprise dishes, because it is somewhat entertaining to guess what you're eating, although it says a lot when you can't actually tell what you're eating because it's so bland....

The most exciting and hilarious eating experience! The food is delicious, served by blind waitron. Who knows about the decor, you eat in the pitch black! Don't wear your best clothes, you'll end up eating the gourmet food with your hands. Be brave and opt for a "surprise" menu, you won't be disappointed.
