Its was quite an experience trying to find our way around the table in the dark. Word of advise, do not attempt to walk in the dark alone because we did and ended up tipping the next tables drinks and almost sitting on someone's food. One of our guests was clusterphobic and is afraid of the darkness but we had to talk him through it and he bravely managed to enjoy the evening like the rest of us. Singing and telling jokes is a great way to enjoy the night because in the darkness shyness disappears. Great service and yummy food

This was a really good experience and I surely recommand it! A bit strange at the beginning but once you're seated and your waiter has explained to you how it works, you will enjoy your dinner!We were a group of 9 and we all apreciated a lot.

We were intrigued by the dining-in-the-dark experience and Ctaste is all about the experience! As we entered, we were immediately greated by a friendly hostess who offered us drinks and made sure to properly note any food allergies or dislikes. Our waiter was funny and attentive - although blind, he provided far better service than most waiters in restaurants and cafes anywhere in this city! The food was served promptly and it was delicious. I cannot attest for the presentation - but the taste was great. The menu is a surprise and we spent the whole night trying to figure out exactly what we were eating. At the end, we just had to ask - we had eaten : salmon tartare with apples and mustard, duck breast with orange sauce and oven roasted potatoes, ice cream with rum raisins. We took advantage of the wine tasting that goes along with the meal. The wines were well paired with our food - definately worth it. We could tell that not only is this restaurant a great concept, with great food, but the people who work there are enjoying themselves - that makes a huge difference. If you make your staff happy, they will make your clients happy. We will go back!!

In this case it is difficult to review the service and decor, since given the characteristics of the place I have no reference. The food was good and tasty, and the general experience was very interesting for us.

This was really fun! I had one of the best dining experiences of my life. The food was really good, maybe not the greatest I have tasted but really nice. The service was very good, the waiters were really nice and other service people really helpful and polite as the waitors. And then there was the main thing, experiencing dining in complete darkness. That's something I will never forget. We had a really good time there and it was so fun finding more food on your plate when you thought you were finished, and to pour water into your waterglass. After a small amount of time in there you started to think differently and sence things differently. I had a rule of having my wine glass on the right side and the water glass on the left side so I wouldn't confuse them :) This is something I will definetly try again when I have the chance to. I recommend this place, but beware, it's only for people who are open minded and don't mind sitting in the dark. Well I'm a little bit afraid of the dark my self but in there I felt completely safe so that was no issue for me.
