Opaque Restaurant, USA

From series “The Most Exotic Restaurants in the World”
Many like romantic candlelight dinner. There are people who come to enjoy the exquisite dishes in full darkness. A few years after the opening, the restaurants of the Opaque network have become very popular in the USA. These restaurants offer guests the opportunity to taste the specialties in full darkness. The regular customers claim that the entire darkness significantly enhances the taste sensation and makes the favorite food even more delicious.

When eating in the original restaurant you have to observe some rules. At the entrance, the guests should put away all electronic devices, including the clock with a display. Then the waiters will tie their eyes with a black ribbon and lead to the quiet room to the cozy little table. The customers of the original restaurant are served by the usual waiters, who use the special night vision equipment for convenience.

The first restaurant of the Opaque network was opened in Los Angeles. Today you can also visit the similar restaurants in San Diego, San Francisco, Dallas and New York. A few years ago the analogue of the popular American restaurant was opened in Moscow under the name 'In the dark'. Its main particularity is the fact that the visitors are served by the blind waiters. Despite the particularity of the Opaque restaurant, its visitors always count on high service quality and on excellent taste of the food. Absence from the bright light does not impair the operation of the customers and the cooking process. Next - Lumi Linna Castle Restaurant
