Some say that when we blindfold ourselves, our other senses come into play, intensifying the sensations and flavors in a surprising way, the sweets become even sweeter and the aromas take on an irresistible depth. Get ready for Dining in the Dark in São Paulo.
Hub Food Art & Lounge and Pintxos.bar are opening their doors to welcome epicurean adventurers looking for an unusual gastronomic experience. Whether you’re looking for an unconventional date or just want to have a laugh with your best friends, this is the experience to try.
What to expect at Dining in the Dark
If the old saying that “we eat first with our eyes” is true, what happens when sight is not an option? The theory is that, without being able to see, our sense of smell and taste come into play. Darkness gives us the chance to really concentrate on the tastes, smells and great conversations at the table and allows us to forget about the outside world, even if only for 90 minutes.
Wearing a blindfold during a sophisticated meal can not only cause some giggles and laughter at the table, but can also help customers distinguish the flavors and magnify the food on their plate. Choose from a vegan, seafood or meat menu before waiting anxiously for a surprise delight to arrive at the table. Creamy textures, tangy flavors, spicy seasonings and sweet aromas await.
