Food lovers and adventurers alike are invited to embark on a unique culinary journey at Dining in the Dark Brisbane. It heightens your senses by immersing you in near-total darkness, allowing you to fully savour each bite of a secret three-course meal. With your vision obscured, flavours become more intense, textures more intriguing and every dish a delicious mystery waiting to be uncovered. This season, C’est Bon Restaurant & Le Bon Bar in Woolloongabba will provide the setting for an evening bursting with aromas, flavour and intrigue.
What to expect at Dining in the Dark?
Guests will be led into the barely-lit space by a guide who’ll be on hand to make sure you don’t bump into anything on your way in and blindfolds will be provided to all guests, which will help to heighten your senses. They also help stop you from peeking at what’s on your plate and ruin the experience!
Although the rest of your evening will be shrouded in delectable mystery, you do have the option of choosing from a meat, seafood or vegan menu prior to the event to ensure that you don’t eat something you don’t want to.
Imagine stepping inside a darkened restaurant and being served a three-course meal. You struggle at first with the cutlery, but as soon as you take your first bite, the flavours and textures of what you’re eating are on another level. Your sense of taste is amplified by your loss of sight at the unique Dining in the Dark exprience.
Where is Dining in the Dark?
C’est Bon, your venue for the evening, creates a mini French Quarter in Woolloongabba’s historic heart. It was established in 2008 by Chef Michel Bonnet but it is now owned and operated by Chef Andy Ashby. With a focus on French cuisine, you can look forward to indulging in seasonal and genuine dishes infused with a contemporary French touch at this cosy neighbourhood spot.
