Re-awaken your senses at an unusual 3-course dinner in Amsterdam and discover what it is like to eat in complete darkness! Unlike any ordinary restaurant, the experience plunges you into a world of sensitivity you may never have felt before, and takes you on a journey through taste, sound and touch. You will be seated in a pitch-black dining room and served by blind or visually impaired wait staff. They have been specially trained to serve meals in the dark, and will offer guidance and reassurance for sighted guests. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed in a lighted lounge area. Check your coat or bag in the cloakroom, as you won't need anything but your senses. Once you have ordered, you will be guided into the darkened dining room. Then, experience your food as the visually impaired experience it; and discover new taste sensations with the rest of your senses.

This was such a unique experience. I’m so happy we did it. I loved trying to figure out what we were eating. Everything was so well thought out and planned. If I make it to Amsterdam I would do it again

Great experience! The staff was so nice and the food quality was great. The time between each course was perfect. I was afraid, that the room would only be dim so you still could see shadows. But it was so dark, you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

This experience was awful. The environment was pitch black. The food we were eating was never identified to us and was unidentifiable to taste. The way the food was served made it nearly impossible to eat with provided silverware and therefore we made a mess the table was extremely tight and uncomfortable. Overall one of the worst experiences with Viator

Overall the experience was enjoyable and informative. But the restaurant was chilly and the time between courses was too long
