In partnership with Resources for the Blind, Inc.<\/a>, Noche: Dine in the Dark<\/strong>, aims to offer an unforgettable dining experience to Manila. It will be the first and only restaurant in the Philippines that will have its patrons dine in total darkness<\/em>. Yes, you will be dining in a pitch dark room, served by visually-impaired staff.<\/p>\n Sight is said to be the strongest among five senses. Once it is taken away, other senses go into overdrive. Coupled with an exciting two,<\/strong> three and five course Mystery Menu<\/strong> that will take you on a unique gastronomic journey, Noche opens the curtains to a new, sensational world.<\/p>\n Two-course – P699 (instead of P999) Here’s what to expect:<\/p>\n Step 1: WELCOME<\/strong><\/p>\n The dine in the dark experience starts with a warm welcome<\/strong> by the Noche team. Guests are presented with welcome drinks while they pick their course from the Mystery Menu. A wide selection of drinks is also available.<\/p>\n Step 2: ORIENTATION (NO PHONES ALLOWED!)<\/strong><\/p>\n Guests will be given a full orientation<\/strong> on the whole concept and dining process. Aprons and optional gloves will be provided. Phones, watches and anything that could possibly emit light will be taken and put in secured lockers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Step 3: ENTERING A NEW WORLD<\/b><\/p>\n The group will be introduced to a “darkness expert”, who will instruct all guests to form a train to enter the dark room<\/strong>. Once you reach your table, the staff will explain in detail how to eat in the dark.<\/p>\n Step 4: DINING IN THE DARK<\/strong><\/p>\n Guests are not blindfolded.<\/strong> Have fun and do your best to guess each dish presented! Call your guide by their first name and they will attend to you promptly.<\/p>\n Step 5: POST DINING EXPERIENCE After completing the last course, guests will be escorted out of the dining area. The eyes will be adjusting to the lights for a few moments; this is absolutely normal. A small questionnaire<\/strong> will be given, as well as a descriptive menu<\/strong> revealing the dishes that were served. Additional beverages, including surprise cocktails, will also be available at this time.<\/p>\n Are you excited? What’s even more exciting is that you are dining for a cause<\/strong>. Noche employs visually-impaired waitstaff in the dark room. Call on your friends and family to join the fun, support the cause and share this one of a kind experience with you. Special prices for group bookings (10 people and up) are available.<\/p>\n Noche Dine in the Dark will be opening next month in Makati!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Get ready for THE dining experience of a lifetime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":28239,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[539],"post_tag":[660],"malls":[],"booky_location":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28231"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28231"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28231\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":132783,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28231\/revisions\/132783"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_tag?post=28231"},{"taxonomy":"malls","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/malls?post=28231"},{"taxonomy":"booky_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/booky_location?post=28231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Dining in the dark is not a new concept, it's been around since 1999, pioneered by Blindekuh from Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland.<\/pre>\n
