Dans le Noir ? Paris Restaurant

For over 20 years, in the heart of Paris, Dans le Noir ? restaurant has offered a unique experience: enjoying creative, responsible, and bistronomic cuisine in total darkness, guided and served by unexpected hosts. Immersed in complete darkness and deprived of sight for the duration of the meal, you experience a moment of total disconnection—an unforgettable culinary adventure centered around a surprise menu. By offering a surprise menu, we encourage you to focus on the essence of flavors rather than appearances while accommodating all dietary restrictions.

Creative and Trendy Cuisine

We carefully source our ingredients from our agroecological farm, La Ferme de l’Envol, near Brétigny. We also collaborate with farms in the Île-de-France region, responsible livestock producers, and partners who share strong ethical values. As pioneers of the circular economy, we have a zero-waste policy—our organic waste helps fertilize our farms. Eco-responsibility is at the heart of our values.

To offer you healthy dishes made from fresh, seasonal, and environmentally friendly ingredients, we meticulously select our products from La Ferme de l’Envol and other responsible local producers. As trailblazers in the circular economy, we apply a radical zero-waste policy, ensuring our organic waste contributes to regenerating our farms. Eco-responsibility is at the heart of our values.
