There are those who say that by blindfolding your eyes, your other senses come into play, intensifying the sensations and flavors in a surprising way, the sweets become even sweeter and the aromas gain an irresistible depth. Get ready for a unique experience at Dining in the Dark in São Paulo.
The Hub Food Art & Lounge opens its doors to welcome epicurean adventurers looking for an out-of-the-ordinary gastronomic experience.

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 you.
Whether you’re looking for an unconventional romantic date for two or just want to have a laugh with your best friends, these Dining in the Dark experiences won’t disappoint. Challenging yourself to distinguish between the tempting flavors you can taste is part of the experience, and navigating the cutlery and the glass of good stuff blindfolded only adds to the fun.
