Let your imagination fly in an evening where less is more. Dining in the Dark arrives in Monterrey with its famous dark dinners, which aim to enhance your senses by eliminating any visual distractions. The theory, according to Oxford University psychologists such as Charles Spence, is that without sight—the dominant sense, especially when it comes to photographing the dish—we concentrate more on sound and taste.
On select dates in the coming months, you’ll have the opportunity to experience a unique dining experience that will elevate your meal to a whole new level. Trust your taste, sense of smell and instinct with Dining in the Dark and its wonderful proposal at Harth , the restaurantlocated within the luxurious facilities of the Hilton Monterrey Hotel that, with a reduced number of reservations, will guarantee the most comfortable and intimate atmosphere.
What to expect at Dining in the Dark?
Dining in the Dark offers a gastronomic evening based on an exquisite three-course tasting menu tailor-made for the occasion. The experience will be tailored to your needs , taking into account possible allergies or dietary restrictions, and giving you a choice of menu: red (meat), blue (seafood) or Verde (vegan). Embark on this 90-minute journey and be guided by clues about the dishes, the voice of your companion and the best seasonal flavors. In other words, for everything but the view!
The room will be illuminated only with candles, but that’s not all. Upon arrival, you will be escorted to your table and given a blindfold to cover your eyes during the event. Without the ability to see, you’ll have to find the way that works best for you to put food in your mouth – use your wits and imagination! No one said it was easy, but it is worth living.
We advise you to stay in the dark for the most complete experience possible. Take from one sense and give it to another, test your taste buds and -if you manage to locate your fork- appreciate food more intensely. A the most original date idea that will bring out the funniest side of your conversations with your partner or group of friends.
