Ever wondered what it is like to eat in the dark? Eminent psychologists have been advocating dining in the dark as the ultimate taste experience for many years. Studies show that 80 percent of people eat with their eyes; with that sense eliminated, the theory is that the other senses—namely taste and smell—take over to elevate your meal to a whole new level.
After dinning your blindfold in the darkened, candlelit room, you’ll soon realise that focusing on taste and smell alone can be a truly enlightening experience—provided you’re not afraid of the dark!
How this Dark Experience Works?
You will be able to choose your type of menu (vegan, seafood or meat) and be surprised by its mystery dishes. Enjoy the nuances of each ingredient as you heighten your senses of taste and smell!
In order to provide a fun and unique dining experience free of cognitive bias, the contents of each menu are a surprise. Instead of outlining each dish, the menus present sensorial descriptions that hint at the ingredients, textures and flavors that you will be enjoying. See an example below.
Surprise your senses and test out your taste buds. Just choose your favorite color and enjoy your meals!
