Dans Le Noir — Clair Whitmer Like

Eating With Your Hands at the Best Blind Date Restaurant in Paris

Ever tried to cut meat in complete, can't-see-your hands-in-front-of-your-face darkness? How about serving your date a glass of wine? If you have dinner at Dans Le Noir, close to the Centre Pompidou, you'll find out: the wait staff is blind and you eat your meal in total darkness. Even cell phones and watches must be left in lockers so you really experience what it's like to be blind. I admit that I ended up eating my meal with my hands. But I recommend it for an evening that is educational and vaguely altruistic…but with wine. Reserve well in advance.
