Dans Le Noir - Paris    Share

Dine in the dark is a great idea but the execution here is simply poor. From the minuscule and flavorless dishes to the crowding, this place just doesn't seem to care about the actual "dine in the dark" experience. Dine in the dark is meant to heighten your senses and give you a unique restaurant experience but instead of focusing on the very idea of what dine in the dark is supposed to be, it seems this restaurant just wants to make as much money as possible. You are packed together in the restaurant so tightly that you can hear the people talking to you so loudly you cannot even focus on your own conversation. The food portions were tiny and barely had any flavor. The dessert was literally tasteless and weirdly difficult to eat. The price is ridiculous so the experience. 43-50 euros per person would have been acceptable IF the experience was well thought-out and interesting. Even the poor tasting meal would have been salvaged if my partner and I at least had an intimate table of our own to take in the experience. If you want to do a dine in the dark, don't do this one in Paris. Do you research and make sure that it's a good one. This one is not worth it AT ALL

The experience of eating in total darkness is very cool, and I would give five stars for that aspect. The food itself was average. I understand why they chose courses with multiple textures, but the flavours weren't impressive. The service also could be improved. It was quite hard to tell who was being addressed or what you were supposed to do when you were addressed.

Experience is very unique. Food tasted great. However is was very noisy, I think telling people before they walk in to speak quietly would help.

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.

The service was very good, and the experience is very strange but also educational. The reason I give it 4 stars is the food (which I rate at 2-3 stars). The concept is very unique and interesting though
