Dinner with the lights out, which has been done before as a pop-up, now has a permanent home in a Brussels hotel restaurant.
Dans le Noir, which has sponsored dimmed-out dining since 2004 in seven countries and eleven cities, is teamed up with Chef Gregory Lauwaert at the Warwick Hotel.
The group says that “Deprived of your vision, you awaken your other senses and rediscover flavors, textures, temperatures, and challenges diners to see how well they recognize food without seeing it. Diners are urged to interact with those around them and to place faith in their servers.
The servers, by the way, are a team of visually impaired people trained specially for the job to help customers have “a unique experience, a moment rich in sharing and questioning, particularly on their perception of taste or their relationship to others.”
