Patrons at Dans Le Noir get a dining experience that gives new meaning to the concept of blind dating. The restaurant's main dining room is pitch black. Food is ordered before entering the room in the lit bar and lounge area and served after parties are seated. Dans Le Noir builds off the idea that when one sense is removed or impaired others strengthen, inevitably enhancing the eating experience. One of the coolest aspects of the establishment is that the entire waitstaff is blind. Their website explains that the visually disabled are more comfortable in the dark and in turn, the entire dining experience strives to bring awareness to visually disability.
I'm curious, has anyone been to either the Paris or London location? I'd love to hear what it was like.

Interesting concept, but I do (thank goodness) have the gift of sight, and I fully enjoy using it while eating. I NEED to visually inspect everything that goes into my mouth to make sure no funny stuff makes it down the pie hole.
Bret Michaels took his ladies to this place during Rock of Love 2, I totally thought it was a joke.
Yeah I've heard about it, but haven't gone. Jake will tell you he's not a picky eater, but he would have never done this because he secretly is. Going to have to find a temp french boyfriend to go with then…
They had one such restaurant in Melbourne too though I never went. It was at the Institute for the Blind.
There is an O.Noir here in Montreal. I haven't gone to it, but... it sounds interesting.
