On the Corniche in Marseille, inside the nhow hotel, Dans le Noir ? Marseille offers dinner in total darkness. The menu remains secret until the end: without sight, diners must identify ingredients, textures and flavours in other ways.
What happens during the meal?
Entry to the dining room and service are accompanied by visually impaired guides and servers, who become the main points of reference during the experience. The meal therefore takes place neither with a blindfold nor in low light, but in complete darkness.
Why is the menu a surprise?
Not knowing the dishes forces diners to focus on aromas, textures and the balance of flavours. The contents are revealed after the meal, allowing perceptions to be compared with what was actually served.
Good to know before booking
Allergies and intolerances must be stated when booking. The experience is as gastronomic as it is sensory and also aims to show, in a practical way, how visually impaired people find their bearings in an environment without sight.
Dans le Noir ? Marseille stands out through this dual dimension: a surprise meal in absolute darkness and an encounter with guides and servers whose experience of visual impairment shapes the entire evening.
