Dining in the dark in Bordeaux: open your senses, close your eyes.

In a world overwhelmed by visual stimulation, truly living in the present moment has become increasingly rare. What if, for the duration of a meal, you closed your eyes to feel more deeply? Dining in the dark is not just a novel concept; it is an immersive sensory experience that brings people together.

In Bordeaux, Dans le Noir ?, an unusual restaurant located within the Radisson Blu, invites you to embark on a unique journey where your usual points of reference are disrupted to highlight what truly matters: taste, attention, and human connection.

• You will be welcomed in a lit area, where you will receive a safety briefing and an introduction to the experience.
