East London is renowned for being a little different, and Dans le Noir? doesn’t disappoint. More sensory show than restaurant the concept is that you are served surprise food by blind people in a blacked out room. Dark, but not in the sense that they’ll feed you baby seal flesh or something. It’s just about enjoying your food more whilst imposing on you all the table dexterity of Jabba the Hut. The normally lit bar allows you to steel yourself with a quick drink before you are led off en masse for the dining room. Bring your wittiest friends, ugly dates and enough Tabasco sauce to dose anyone that gets on your nerves.

Price: £50-60pp. 30-31 Clerkenwell Green, EC1R 0DU. Tel: 020 7253 1100. Web: www.danslenoir.com/london/
