Discover our new sensory menu!

Tucked inside the Grand Millennium in Auckland, our restaurant offers more than just a meal — it invites you to step into complete darkness and discover a world where your senses come alive. As one of the most original restaurants in Auckland, we are proud to present our new menu, carefully crafted to enhance a fully sensory and unusual experience that will stay with you long after the last bite.

This is not your typical dinner out. From the moment you arrive, you're guided gently into a world without light. Welcomed in a dimly lit lounge, you are introduced to the concept before being led to your table by our team of blind or visually impaired waiters. Once seated in total darkness, your perception shifts. With vision gone, your other senses take over.

The clink of glasses, the scent of warm spices, the texture of an unfamiliar ingredient — everything becomes more vivid, more engaging. Dining in the dark is not simply about food. It is a fully immersive journey, challenging your assumptions and heightening your awareness.

To mark the change in season, we are delighted to unveil our new seasonal menu. Designed to work in harmony with the unique setting, each dish is prepared using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Our chef has developed a series of courses that not only taste delicious but are also chosen for their textures, aromas and contrasts.

We will not reveal too much — after all, discovery is part of the experience — but you can expect bold pairings, refined sauces, unexpected spices, and a focus on balance. Whether you choose the classic, vegetarian, or vegan option, you will be taken on a flavourful journey unlike any other in Auckland.

Each course has been designed to surprise and intrigue. There is no visual bias; nothing to guide you but your palate, your nose, your fingers and ears. This is where the true adventure begins.

Our unusual dining experience invites you to let go of control and trust your senses. Many of our guests tell us they rediscovered familiar ingredients in a new light — or rather, in the absence of it. Others describe powerful memories triggered by a single aroma or a taste they couldn’t place.

By removing sight, we allow space for deeper engagement. The feel of a warm dish in your hands, the unexpected texture of a mousse, the way conversation flows differently in the dark — all of these moments contribute to something rare: a return to presence, connection, and pure sensory discovery.

Dining in the dark also invites reflection. As you are guided by our visually impaired team, you experience for a moment what life is like without sight. Many guests describe it as both humbling and enlightening. It’s a chance to step out of your comfort zone and into someone else’s world.

This approach makes our restaurant not only original but meaningful. It is an inclusive space where food, awareness and emotion come together. We believe that a great meal can also be an encounter — with oneself, with others, and with the unseen.

Whether you are a visitor looking for something truly local and unforgettable, a family seeking a bonding moment, or a couple in search of an unusual evening, our restaurant is the perfect place for it. Dining in the dark is ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events, or simply an unusual evening.

We welcome guests of all ages (children above six years old), and dietary restrictions are always respected. What unites all our visitors is curiosity — and the joy of discovering something extraordinary.
