About us

At Dining in the Dark, we believe that it’s all in the experience. This special restaurant not only serves amazing food but also sparks a sense of adventure that will surely leave you with beautiful memories that can be cherished forever. The moment you step into our restaurant, you will realise that a unique dining experience is awaiting you.

You will be greeted by our darkness expert, most of them visually-impaired, who will be guiding you on how to navigate through your meal. Any objects that reflect light will be kept so that you can enjoy your meal in total darkness without any interruption. The meal itself, which is specially curated by Chef Werner Kuhn and his team, uses a combination of different textures and flavours that are distinct and strong. Without the sense of sight and the knowledge of what is on the plate, you will be challenged to use all the other senses when having your meal. This will inevitably heighten the acuteness of your sense of smell, touch and taste and takes the appreciation for food to a different level.

This special restaurant in KL that provides a unique dining experience is also open for corporate and private events. Many patrons have given us the privilege of hosting their joyous celebrations and being a part of their romantic wedding proposals.
