The restaurant is located in a former chapel and the inside is pitchblack. All the waiters are blind (or visually impaired) themselves and it is an interesting experience how naturally they move around in the dark while you yourself feel completely lost (no pun intended ;-)<br />All the best from Switzerland<br />PeterKaramasovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12172949247311545656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-62307004256481623232010-05-04T23:34:34.601-07:002010-05-04T23:34:34.601-07:00What a great Idea!

The waiters and waitresses wear night vision goggles and you can see them by a blinking light on their glasses. You tell them which level of adventourous you are and they bring you out food you have no idea what it is! (two of my coworkers ate testicles of some animal!)<br /><br />If you have to go to the bathroom the waiter will escort you there etc. So this seems a bit similar to that!Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02142100844762769841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-82748681430288331492010-03-29T07:52:52.392-07:002010-03-29T07:52:52.392-07:00Neat.

I didn't know about the "Dining in the Dark", or that they had another restaurant. At the Formaggio wine bar we had almost the same experience though, since the lighting was so dim. Excellent food.
