The concept of the "Dans le Noir?" restaurant in London is that of a room in complete darkness. The dining room can hold up to 60 patrons. An ante-room allows visitors to enter the restaurant without any intrusion of light. Special security systems and emergency exits are in place and have been approved by the Authorities to ensure that customers can dine in complete safety. The procedure is exactly the same as in any other restaurant except that guests choose their meal from the menu at the bar before going into the dark. Blind guides serve the food after having guided customers to their tables. Customers are encouraged to use the toilets before moving into the dark restaurant in order not to interrupt their experience. No one is allowed to move around in the dining area without the assitance of the guides.

"Dans le Noir ?" Bar is an excellent meeting place for the city, the Farrindgon Clerkenwell area and near Sadler's Wells theatre. You can sample its varied selection of wines and original cocktails and non-alocoholic creations, either in the dark or in the traditional bar and lounge. Enriched with original flavours, of flowers and spices for example, the drinks menu offers voyage through tastes and aromas in the same spirit as the restaurant. A selection of Fair Trade teas and coffees are also available as well as a simple refreshing beer. (Updated 07/05/2006)
