Dining in the Dark Kicks Off This Month

If you’re looking to shake up your date nights, friend gatherings or city adventures and have a transformative culinary outing to boot, then we have just the ticket for you: Dining in the Dark!

Not only does this twist on eating at a restaurant take you out of your element, but it also allows for a new gastronomical experience for your tastebuds. What flavors, textures, sounds and scents will you notice? There’s only one way to find out!

Though there have been different approaches and iterations to dark dining events since the concept launched in Paris in the late 1990s, this particular dining experience in Seattle allows for guests to enter a darkened, candlelit room followed by donning blindfolds to create a total darkness experience. Need to step out or use the restroom? Simply remove the blindfold or ask a staff member to help guide you.

Venue hosting for this season’s run of Seattle’s Dining in the Dark experience is The Collective social club located in South Lake Union. When booking, you’ll be able to choose between two seating times and three secret menus: vegan, seafood or meat. Each menu is $64 per person (drinks and tipping are not included in the ticket price) and features three courses, aka an appetizer, main course and dessert. Following your booking, you can further specify any dietary allergies or intolerances in the questionnaire to ensure a safe, and delicious, edible experience.

Busy on May 29? Don’t fret — there are also single evening dates in June, July and August. Enjoy good food and an unforgettable evening; bon appétit!
