5 Restaurants We’ve Always Wondered About - London - The Infatuation
"This may come as a surprise to you, but the pitch-black restaurant in Farringdon where Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams’ characters meet in About Time is markedly less romantic in reality. After handing in your phone, you’ll enter the Dans Le Noir bar area, a place that feels like it strives to resemble an airport lounge in the early hours of the morning, before being led to the lights-out dining room. Here, tinny music plays and your hand is guided towards your glass, cutlery, and food. Mushy dish after mushy dish is placed in front of you and, after some awkward small talk with the strangers next to you, you will eventually ask for the bill. In a world full of sensory experiences, Dans Le Noir left us feeling strangely numb." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
