Dark Table Restaurant for 2, Calgary

Are you ready to have dinner together in complete darkness? 

An evening dining at Calgary’s Dark Table restaurant will take you on a culinary adventure through uncharted territory where food becomes a wonder to be unveiled and explored. Without the sense of sight, your senses of touch, taste, hearing, and smell are enhanced, allowing a new understanding of reality. An unforgettable and social and sensory experience!

This experience is for 2 people.

Upon arrival at Dark Table, you’ll choose your dinner from a first-class menu rivaling some of Calgary’s best restaurants. You’ll then be led to your table in the darkened dining room by a blind or visually impaired server who has been trained to ensure you are comfortable at all times.

You’ll quickly adjust to the darkness and begin an extraordinary culinary journey. No light producing technologies are allowed in the dining room, including cellphones, flashlights, or luminous watches … you will be truly dining in the dark.

With an unemployment rate of 70%, the blind face challenges in a society that is constantly preoccupied with visual communication.  In a dark dining environment, the tables are turned as the non-sighted servers guide the sighted. Dark Table is proud to offer employment to blind and visually impaired people. They admit that it is truly the blind offering this unique, eye-opening experience to the sighted.

What's included: three-course dinner for two in complete darkness.
