Reviews:
Negative Review! Sven Porst writes "a big disappointment [...] may be too weak a word to express the behaviour of people at Café November. Let’s just say when someone specifically walks to a place to book a brunch table for ten to make sure we won’t have to run around to find a big empty space and the people just shrug when you arrive there and indifferently mumble something like ugh some other people came, there’s no space

Sheila Wolf writes in her blog: "It doesn’t matter if you are a nuclear physics nobel price winner, nutrition company CEO, news anchorman a nudist camp leader or a drag Queen. As long as you’re here for the finest Asian noodle dishes in town [...] my alltime favourite main dish of this wonderful Restaurant - 1 kg Black Tiger Prawns with spicy-lime-ginger- & homemade Aioli-dip, Myxao-noodles, thai-rice & wok vegetables. You have to start with canapé platter with Tuna fish kebab, vegetarian spring roll, marta bak, Fried won ton, shrimp ans sweet potato tempura - its unbelievable. After meal you can relaxing and chilling with good sound and a huge light panel at the bar"

Nocti Vagus

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 Unsichtbar)

Reviews:
Daniela writes on "Going on a Guilt Trip": "[...] when the owners of Nocti Vagus describe their restaurant as "Finest Sensuality And Culinary Delight In Absolute Darkness," believe it.[...] We proceeded to order from 4 fixed 4-course menus that also came with a hefty price. The Vegetarisch Menü (Menu is "Speisekarte" in German, but Menü is fixed-price/course menu) was 45 Euros. The Überraschung Menü (Surprise Menu) was 50, Francis ordered that. Michi ordered the Fish Menü. Despite the price, the experience was so. worth. it.[...] the dining experience was made so peaceful, pleasant, FUN, and pretty profound without having been given the access to see what's around you. [...] The food in Nocti Vagus was absolutely amazing (in fact, I actually had never heard Michi rave about food like that ever!), and I'm sure a bit of our overzealous reactions could be attributed to the enhancement of our other senses. I actually had zucchini lime soup as my second course and even fed Michi a few spoonfuls (it was So good) and didn't even get any on him (or me for that matter.) [....] my main course was a sesame-encrusted eggplant dish on a bed of mushroom risotto. Michi had various types of fish (he forgot what he ordered too!) but his appetizer was a delicious monkfish. Francis still has no clue what he ate (except for the fact that all the courses except dessert were all meat) since he had the surprise menu-- we asked the waiters as well but they didn't even know!"

Berlin-Life also have a review.

Accessible? yes - there are steps but there is also a lift for disabled visitors

Child-Friendliness? obviously, a completely dark restaurants is not for people who are not comfortable with it, including probably all children
