Melbourne Restaurant Out of Sight
Australia now has a restaurant/bar serving customers in total darkness. Zurich's Blind Cow restaurant was the inspiration for restaurants in New York and Paris that give all of their diners the opportunity to experience food, drink and conversation without the distraction of sight.
I like the idea of having the advantage of experience when dining out sans lighting and now I need only travel to Black Out in St Kilda Rd, Melbourne to see how well I cope compared to people who can usually see a little more. According to a report in The West Australian (Friday, February 13, 2004, page 9), opening night invites went to football and TV celebrity Sam Newman, cricketer Shane Warne, ex-criminal and writer Mark 'Chopper' Read and radio/TV personality Derryn Hinch. Scary. Black Out is different from the Blind Cow in that wait staff will be wearing infra-red glasses to see.
