A Unique Concept - blindekuh are two restaurants where patterns are served in the dark..
The owner, Rev. Jorge Spielmann, believes that the entire
"blind" effect for the sighted guests would be spoiled by even the
merest chink of light. The only concession to seeing guests are lights in the
toilets. However, the sighted must be guided there by the staff in the same way
as blind diners.
The idea for the restaurant came from dinner parties held in Rev. Spielmann’s
home. Blind himself, he would sometimes blindfold his sighted guests to give
them a chance to experience the world of the blind. He said: "The sighted
guests commented that being blindfolded made them give more emphasis to the
food and listen more intently to the conversation around them. There were no
visual distractions, only intense concentration."
The restaurants are located in Basell and Zurich, Switzerland. The name is derived from "Blinde Kuh" (blind cow), the German name for Blind Man's Bluff
Their first venture, the blindekuh in Zürich, opened on September 17, 1999 and is claimed to be the world's first dark restaurant. The second location opened in Spring 2005 in Basel.
blindekuh
won several awards, among them the Social Innovations Award of the Institute
for Social Innovations in London
