"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

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! ❤️

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.

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.

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.

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

BEST AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE FOR OUR ENTIRE VIETNAM TRIP! I was scared to think that we will eat and stay in a pitch black restaurant but my eyes amazingly adjusted and the entire dinner felt normal and comfortable!!! The fact that the servers are blind made this dinner concept more meaningful for us. Also, foods were really amazing! It is definitely a MUST TRY!! Thank you to the manager, Ben for rescheduling us and making it possible for us to have the dinner booked before we fly back to Aus tomorrow as well as compensating us with free drinks due to rescheduling. ALL STAFF ARE AMAZING. 100/100 !!! We will surely go back! ♥️♥️♥️

What an unbelievable experience which far surpassed my expectations. I went in with the hope of experiencing heightened flavours, as a result of eating in the dark but I left with an unexpected and greater appreciation for the blind and for myself, having the ability to see. The decor was beautiful and I sat there in awe and in the realization that our sight impaired hosts could not share in my awe of the surroundings. I was able to truly embrace the experience from the beginning, as the host and staff were patient and considerate throughout this journey, providing comfort and reassurance when they sensed some discomfort and uncertainty. We took our time savouring each plate and glass of wine that it was paired with. Every now and again, our host How (apologies if I have misspelled her name), would come to our table to check in on us, establishing whether we were ok or were ready for our next course. Requests for seconds were met with kind and sincere service. Being blindfolded most certainly enhanced my palette but also allowed for enriching conversations, considering we did not have our phones, which made us fully embrace being in the moment and being present. I would highly recommend this experience!! Allow yourself to be vulnerable to fully take advantage of this immersive wonder.
