Dark Fork: Inside the dine-in-the-dark experience [Video]

There’s a new restaurant experience in the ByWard Market opening this week that gives you a chance to ‘dine in the dark.’

At Dark Fork, customers eat in a pitch-black room — no lights, no phones. You will not be able to see your food or even your friends across from you, says owner Moe Alameddine.

“You can’t even see your finger,” he says.

Alameddine says the darkness of the restaurant transforms the dining experience into a sensory adventure and allows people to experience life without vision.

Patrons will begin their experience at the restaurant in a lighted lounge where they can view the menu, but the restaurant “goes dark” as you are seated in the dining area.

This is to give a unique culinary experience, says Alameddine, but also to see what it’s like to live and eat as visually impaired person.
