Unsichtbar

Style:
Eating in the dark

More:
One of two dark restaurants in Berlin, where your eating experience is not "hindered" by sight; in other words, a unique experience (the other one is Nocti Vagus)

Reviews: Taine writes in "Das Wetter in Berlin": "We also went out to dinner at a restaurant called the Unsichtbar. It is this culinary experience where you dine in total darkness, and eat food from a menu written in riddles. The waitstaff are all physically blind, and so more than equipped to serve in the dark. As guests we were totally dependent on our waitress to get to our table, to exit the restaurant, to find out where our plates and silverware were. But what fantastic food! And without sight, you really try to focus on the individual flavors in your food."
