The 31 Best Restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam | Eater

"Noir Dining in the Dark was founded in 2014 by Vũ Anh Tú and Germ Doornbos as a social enterprise to support the Vietnamese visually impaired community with stable employment. Guests dine in the dark, challenging their taste buds to identify ingredients without sight; this type of restaurant appears in a number of cities and can seem a bit gimmicky, but here the execution is on point. There are several carefully curated set menus to choose from, including a vegetarian option, and everything is prepared using the finest local and organic ingredients." - Linh Phan

An unforgettable and moving experience. Dining in complete darkness really made me appreciate every bite in a new way. The blind and visually impaired waitstaff were absolutely amazing — so kind, professional, and attentive. I felt completely safe and well cared for throughout. The flower service was also a lovely surprise, beautifully arranged and thoughtful. Noir isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a meaningful journey. Highly recommend!

I had a fantastic and unique culinary experience here with my friend. I love the Indochine decor style here and the vibe is so comfy and cozy. Staff are very friendly and informative. You get a free drink while in the waiting room. You have to play a game while being blindfolded to get access into the dinning room where it’s pitch dark. You have to utilize other senses to appreciate the food. Everything was good. Definitely recommend! ❤️

A very unique restaurant with a public welfare nature, allowing diners to experience how blind people eat and what their daily life is like. It is even better if you go with good friends or couples, so that you can get to know each other more deeply. In short, the dining experience is very pleasant, the price is not expensive, and the taste is good.

A memorable experience that shows you how much most people rely on sight to tell food apart (it's quite hard to guess just based on smell, taste, and mouth-feel!) The service was exceptional and food tasty (we felt well taken care of) A very eye opening experience Would recommend going with another person or two

Amazing experience. The process is explained and the food is fantastic. Our waitress Hana was very attentive and helpful. Would highly recommend. Being in the dark really makes you focus on the flavours!

Cool experience if you never did it before. You can even order flowers to surprise your lover in the dark. The flowers were kind of underwhelming though for 20 dollars.

I have a great experience here tonight with my friend and her kid. We are vegetarian. The food were so good I like them all except the dessert I think it was too sweet. The staffs were friendly and offer really good service.

I loved this place. Went on a whim after the massage and wanted to see how it is. All staff were very kind and super helpful with everything, from explaining the concept over my lovely waitress to explaining the dishes afterwards, everyone was super nice. It’s a real experience you can dive in, first the darkness and finding your way around, then eating and tasting the dishes in the dark and afterwards digesting the whole experience. The food was delicious, just fantastic! I loved this experience and can only recommend this restaurant!
