The Opaque
Restaurant allows its customers to experience dining on a whole new different
level by heightening our sense of taste, smell and touch. It's not the first to
introduce dining in the dark, but its famous for it and it comes with a twist.
Customers place
their orders in a lighted room before being guided by the blind to the pitch
dark area to have their meals. The waiters are visually handicapped but are
trained to provide customers a unique experience!
Just imagine that you can not see for an hour or two,
that you are abandoning vision in exchange for a new, multi-sensual dining
experience. Opaque is enhancing our senses of taste, smell, touch, and hearing
by abandoning one that we often take for granted - this is "Dining in the
Dark".
Brought to you by Opaque, the dining in the dark
experience allows you to willingly plunge into a world of sensitivity you have
never experienced before, taking you through a journey of taste, sound and
touch, all in the dark.
Opaque - Dining in the Dark - will seat you in a
literally pitch-black dining room where you will be guided and served by blind
or visually impaired individuals that have been specially trained to serve
meals in the dark, casually and comfortably offering guidance and reassurance
for sighted guests.
Upon arriving at the Dining in the Dark venue, you
will be welcomed in a lighted lounge area where you will pick from a specially
prepared menu (designed by a sighted local 'star' chef), and we check your coat
or bag as you don't need anything but your senses. Once you have ordered, you
will be personally guided into the darkened dining room. Special security
measures are taken to make your experience both safe and enjoyable.
Whether you have been seen enough and want to hide in
the dark, or just want to experience dining on a higher level - Opaque - Dining
in the Dark - caters to the senses and a deeper consciousness. Not just a meal,
but a truly unique, sensual experience.
Don't be afraid of the dark! Come explore a whole new
world of the senses with Opaque - Dining in the Dark - and find out what you've
been missing - after all, the best things in life are not always what you see!
