Let me share some information about this restaurant

The concept

Plunge into an intriguing new world of mystery and sensation you have never experienced before, and join us on a culinary journey through taste, smell, touch and sound, in total darkness. Seated in our pitch-black dining room, you will be guided and served by blind or visually impaired individuals who have been specially trained to offer guidance and reassurance to sighted guests. 

It is a truly human experience when the roles are reversed and the blind become your eyes, opening your mind to a deeper consciousness. This affinity leads to mutual trust and respect, and a realization of the value of their work and overall ability to carry out tasks. Also, discover our exquisite menu crafted from the finest ingredients by our Chef de Cuisine and his team, and enhance your experience with our fine wine selection and unique signature cocktails customised for each individual's palate. 

One that is definitely a treat for special occasions, Nox - Dine in the Dark is more than just dining, it is a unique mind-altering sensory experience. Be the first in Singapore to experience this new European dining trend and 'see' it for yourself! 

How it works

 Pre-Dinner

Upon your arrival at Nox - Dine in the Dark, you will be welcomed by our friendly staff and escorted to the lounge area where you will be briefed on the concept and what you can expect from your dining experience. Enjoy our signature surprise cocktails customised to your palate that introduces the mystery of this sensory journey, or select from our well-developed list of fine beverages. Also, an amuse-bouche will be served, giving you a glimpse of the chef\'s approach to the art of cuisine, and the quality of food we have to offer. Our 3-course prix fixe dinner is a set mystery menu that will have you discovering subtleties of flavor you never knew existed. A vegetarian and/or vegan menu is available upon request. Please let us know if you have any food restrictions or allergies so that we can tailor your menu accordingly. In addition, please restate your food preferences to your guide as he/she serves your food, to avoid confusion. Before heading upstairs to the dining area, you will be required to place all bags, outerwear and objects that produce light (such as mobile phones, lighters, watches, etc.) in a locker by the lounge. These items are prohibited in the dining room. We are pleased to inform that the lockers are made available to you at no charge. We also recommend that you visit the restroom before you proceeding to the dining room as leaving the room halfway through your meal might ruin your dining experience. Special security measures have also been taken to ensure that your experience is both safe and enjoyable. 

During Dinner 

After your table is ready, you will be escorted to the entrance of the dining area where you will be introduced to your guide who will take care of your needs for the duration of the dinner. Your guide will then lead you to your seat and give you a brief description of what you can expect to find on your table. All guests must follow strict safety instructions and never move around in the dark dining room without being led by a guide. You may order additional beverages at any time when in the dining area. Just call your guide by his/her first name and he/she will come over as soon as possible to take your orders. If you feel uncomfortable or distressed, feel free to let your guide know and he/she will be able to take you back into the light if you wish. 

Post-Dinner 

At the end of your dinner, you will be led out of the dining area by your guide. We strongly recommend that you look down towards the ground as you proceed out into the light and to open your eyes slowly because your eyes may have become hypersensitive to light after a duration in complete darkness. As you enter the lounge area, we will present you with pictures and descriptions of what you have eaten earlier, and you can compare it with your impressions and guesses of them. At this juncture, you may also order more beverages if you wish, or indulge in another surprise cocktail from our talented bartender to complete your sensory journey with us. Please be reminded to pick up your belongings from the locker and return the key before you leave. Your bill can be settled within the lounge area.
