restaurant blindekuh

The restaurant blindekuh, named after the game “BlindMan’s Buff”, is indeed a very special place. Founded in Zurich, and extended to a second branch in Basel, it was the world’s first restaurant where sighted people could experience what it means to be blind during dinner time. Meals are held in pitch black darkness. Standing in front of the Zurich blindekuh restaurant, the front is reminiscent of what this place once was: a Methodist church. A few steps lead toward a heavy two-winged door, then customers enter the lobby where the menu is projected onto a wall. Further into the building there is nothing to see but darkness.
