Dans le Noir? Bordeaux : We ask the question, you hold the answer!

It’s a one-of-a-kind sensory experience where you’ll enjoy a 100% surprise menu. What does taste feel like when you're in complete darkness? Will you be able to recognize your dish, your wine, or the flavors without knowing the menu in advance? Giving up one sense to heighten the others is different for everyone - it may awaken deeply personal memories of smells, tastes, and textures.

It’s also a social and convivial experience. Dans le Noir ? Bordeaux encourages reflection on how you relate to others. You'll find yourself in the same room with strangers, sharing a truly extraordinary moment. How do your interactions change in this environment? Why does conversation flow more easily? Why do people start using first names more quickly? You’ll find that, in total darkness, communication becomes more natural and genuine.

It’s a profoundly human encounter. In everyday life, we’re used to helping blind or visually impaired people cross the street. Here, they’re the ones helping us in an environment where our usual cues are lost. It’s a surprising and enriching exchange, one that flips the roles. With 50% of its staff living with severe disabilities, Dans le Noir ? thrives in a mainstream industry to prove that disability can mean performance! The experience invites reflection on how we view disability: Why is it still difficult for people with disabilities to find employment? Meeting our guides is often a deeply emotional and unforgettable moment.

By experiencing this dinner in complete darkness, we don’t claim to provide the answers — but if it sparks meaningful questions, then we’ve succeeded!
