It's simple: when you can’t use one of your 5 senses, the remaining ones sharpen, therefore making the experience more focused on conversation and enjoying the taste of food.
The chef arrives and introduces himself and the waitstaff, there will be a time to gather and have drinks normally while the chef prepares the meals (approx 1,5h). The table will be set up during this time.
Then when everyone is ready, phones will be put in silence and placed in a box. At this time everyone will sit and the wait staff will help to put on the blindfolds and to turn the lights down. There will be lights from candles at all times.
Now the chef will do an introduction and from this time on dinner will be served with a small break in between courses to reset the table, cutleries and plate the following dishes. During the dinner experience, making conversation will be promoted as well as enjoying the taste of the food in a way you probably have never done before.
After dessert is finished, lights will come back on and this will be the end of the experience. The Chef and wait staff will leave as soon as the cleaning is done.
If during dinner you wish to be served drinks, just ask the wait staff. The same applies if you need to use the washrooms, just ask the wait staff to be escorted out of the dining room.
The duration of the experience (time blindfolded) is approximately 90 minutes.
