Dining in the sky sounds thrilling.

Dining on toilet seats sounds lame.

Dining in the dark is overplayed.

Dining in a prison sounds risky.

Dining underwater seems claustrophobic.

Dinner without the lights on?

Can’t wait to hear about the next oh-so-trendy restaurant — the one without food.

My bio teacher went to Opaque in SF (similar to Dans Le Noir). I would love to experience it but I might have a nervous breakdown because I am terribly afraid of the dark.

There is also a Dans le Noir in Berlin. I went a few years back, a very interesting experience.

It’s worth mentioning that the menu is also in riddles which leaves you guessing as to what your meal actually is and gives a deeper reliance on your other senses.

We went to a restaurant similar to Dans Le Noir in San Francisco…I think it was called Opaque. Very cool, enjoyed the whole experience, EXCEPT for the couple next to us, who was enjoying the experience on an entirely different level. Awkward…

These are amazing! Love the dinner in the air in Brussels…but on a fine weather day only! Sea restaurant also looks cool!

I’ve eaten at Dans Le Noir in London, and it was incredible! Diners chose one of four menus, white, red, blue or green. Each of these menus is centered around a different type of food; red is meat, blue is seafood, green is vegetarian and white is “surprise.” My boyfriend and I had the white and red menus respectively, and while I would have ordered some of the food served under normal circumstances, it tasted delicious. We also had a really interesting, 2-hour conversation with the couple eating next to us, whom we could not see. We compared afterward what we thought they would look like versus what they actually looked like, and it was really funny. If given the chance, this restaurant is a must-visit.

you missed a real good one.

pittsburgh penguins star center and current NHL points leader Evgeni Malkin, who is a native Russian, owns a restaurant in Russia that is styled like a Stalin-era Soviet prison. you can even order this wierd alcoholic beverage that prisoners used to make in their cells.

I’ve heard of the prison one, it’s a good idea – gives them a chance to see a new interest and most take great pride in it, prepares them for life in the real world.

But I’d be most interested in dinner in the sky, that’s cool idea. The idea behind le noir is that you’d be able to taste your food better, and experience it moreso – but again I’m not entirely sure that’s all that great, you could just as well do that at home.
