Dinner in the dark: see eccentric options in SP – 08/10/2023 – Restaurants

The city of São Paulo is full of restaurants and bars that serve their dishes and drinks in a conventional way, at most by candlelight. However, in the capital there are also experiences that go beyond food, for those who are tired of the monotony and want to venture out —and are also willing to spend more.

There are two diners in the dark, either with all the lights off or blindfolded visitors. The public eats starters, main course and dessert without knowing exactly what they are being served.

For those with an even more adventurous spirit, Dinner in the Sky offers dinner, lunch and cocktails in a restaurant suspended 50 meters above the ground.

There are even more playful experiences, both for children and adults. Little ones who like dinosaurs can eat hamburgers while watching dino shows. In another attraction, the Mad Hatter’s tea from “Alice in Wonderland” is washed down with gin and exclusive drinks.

See below a list of dinners and bars that bring experiences that go beyond gastronomy.

Dining in the Dark
Blindfolded, the public stirs up other senses; appearance now matters little —taste and smell will be highlighted. The menu to be tasted consists of starter, main course and dessert. There are three options, classified by color: red, with dishes predominantly made with red meat; green, with vegetarian dishes; and the blue, with fish and other seafood.
