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

Brilliant and exactly what you expect. You arrive, get your briefing and choose your menu. Then you go into an extremely dark room, so dark that there is no difference between eyes opened or closed. We ate 14 dishes in 4 courses. Our waitress was absolutely brilliant, funny and so good at explaining everything from the location of your drink to her every move at the table. At first we were all a bit uncomfortable and scared, but by the end we were so comfortable and sad it was over! Seeing the menu items at the end also blew our mind. A brilliant experience from start to finish. You should definitely give it a try. We eat with our eyes first, so taking this sense away really changed the whole experience!

A great and humbling experience. We were served great food by a blind staff in the dark. The service was amazing. I am honored to have attended. Sharing photos of the before and after only. Had the vegan set.

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! ❤️

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!

Best dinner experience!!!! Bust try!! We are going to try this in other countries also. The staff where lovely, food and mocktails where insane. No blind fold the dinning room is pitch black. Photos are the waiting room

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.

An unforgettable experience eating in completely dark place. Food in general was good but not surprised. Good services with well communication while serving in the dark. Suggest everyone to come and experience it

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
