3. Everyone can enjoy
Sometimes it can be a little difficult to find a place where everyone can eat. As an ex-veggie, I’ve had many a disappointing meal whilst people tucked into their juicy steaks. However, Dining in the Dark has your back! Whether you’re an obligate carnivore, love seafood or aren’t too keen on the meat. You can choose from vegetarian, meat and fish options. What’s more, tell DITD about allergies before and they’ll make sure you’re accommodated.

Each mouthful is a mystery, inviting diners to explore the flavour through an engaging epicurean exploration. With each forkful, you can decipher the nuances of each dish, sparking animated conversations and igniting a fantastic sense of wonder.
5. Cast a new culinary light on your date
Dim the lights to zero and make your date swoon with Dining in the Dark. You’ve heard of candlelit dinners and what are they? Overrated! DITD plunges couples into complete darkness, letting taste, touch, and aroma reign supreme. If you’ve been with your other half for a while they maybe you think you’ve done, seen and eaten everything. You certainly haven’t!
Food is a full-body experience. Those who love it plunge themselves into a foodie landscape with every part of their being and that’s what Dining in the Dark is all about. It’s certainly unconventional and that’s why you’ll love it. Forget the ordinary and step into a sensation sans sight with a sumptuous three-course meal that’s sure to have you talking.
