FAQ Dinner in the Dark
WHAT IS DINNER IN THE DARK
At ‘Dinner in the Dark’, you will experience an extraordinary 4-course menu in complete darkness. The evening begins with a champagne reception in the bright foyer before you are led into the darkness. Without any visual distractions, your other senses will be heightened and you will perceive flavours, smells and sounds more intensely. Visually impaired or blind guides will accompany you safely through this special experience.
HOW DO WE FIND OUR TABLE IN THE DARK?
Don’t worry, we have a simple system for this: you simply place your hand on the shoulder of the person in front of you and your blind or visually impaired guide will lead you safely to your table. We know that some people may be apprehensive at first, but don’t worry, this method has proven to be very effective.
CAN I ATTEND DINNER IN THE DARK WITH A GROUP?
Yes, Dinner in the Dark can be visited with a group. The maximum group size per table is 10 people. If you come with a smaller group, more guests will be added until the table is full – a great opportunity to make new friends. However, if you are 10 people, you will have a table all to yourselves and our guides will seat you accordingly. If you prefer to enjoy the dinner exclusively, you can also book it as a private event. Availability and bookings can be conveniently checked and made online.
WILL I BE SITTING AT A TABLE WITH OTHER GUESTS DURING THE DINNER?
Yes, you will be sitting at a table with other guests. Our table arrangement encourages socialising by seating our guests at tables of up to 10 people to intensify communication and the shared experience. This provides a great opportunity to meet new people in a unique setting.
If you take part in Dinner in the Dark with 10 people, we will of course seat you together at one table. Dinner in the Dark can also be booked as an exclusive event for a private party.
ARE DRINKS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THE DINNER MENU?

CAN I LEAVE THE EXPERIENCE AT ANY TIME IF I FEEL UNWELL?
Ja, wenn du dich während dem Erlebnis unwohl fühlen solltest, kannst du das Erlebnis jederzeit abbrechen. Unser Guide ist stets im selben Raum. Mache auf dich aufmerksam, und du wirst umgehend auf dem schnellsten Weg nach draußen ins Licht begleitet. Ein erneutes Betreten des Erlebnisses ist leider nicht mehr möglich, wir bitten hierbei um Verständnis.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO DINNER IN THE DARK?
Für das Dinner in the Dark benötigst du keine speziellen Gegenstände.

CAN I GET TO KNOW THE OTHER GUESTS BEFORE THE DINNER?
Absolut! Wir empfehlen, die Möglichkeit zu nutzen, die weiteren Gäste vorab im hellen Foyer beim Begrüßungssekt kennenzulernen. So könnt ihr schon vor dem Betreten des Dunkelrestaurants erste Kontakte knüpfen. Die geteilte Vorfreude vor dem Abenteuer ist ein echter Eisbrecher.
