Can food really taste different? Try the Dining in the Dark experience in Detroit to find out. On this multi-sensory adventure (well, minus sight) you will need to train your brain to distinguish flavors and textures, relying solely on taste, smell, and touch. Slow down, let the food sit on your tongue, and try to pick out individual tastes as you get hints of sweet and fruity flavors, get a taste of soft and crunchy bites, or notice umami notes on your palate, that combine and complement one another.
An enticing experience that will serve you a delicious three-course meal at The Detroit Club. A special menu is offered in vegan, seafood, or meat options, prepared only with the freshest seasonal ingredients that will tempt your taste buds. Put your blindfold on, open your mind, and let the food sing!
What to expect at Dining in the Dark?
The tantalizing Dining in the Dark experience promises to elevate your meal to a whole new level, leaving just you, your taste buds and your sense of smell to enjoy an appetizing three-course meal. Upon arrival, you will be handed a blindfold, to commit you to the experience and thought to multiply the flavors, and the restaurant’s waiters will then lead you to your tables, where all the fun will ensue.
At the restaurant, you will be served a succulent and lush three-course meal. During purchase, you’ll choose either vegan, seafood, or meat menu for the night but the rest of the evening will be shrouded in mystery.
And feel free to get creative when eating! Whether you want to use your hands to discern the ingredients or the cutlery provided by the restaurant, there are no rules. What matters most is sharing the laughs and yummy food with your loved ones, regardless of whether it’s a romantic date or a weekly gathering with friends. Be prepared to find out more about your companion, though. A lot of unknown traits come out when you’re in the dark…
