The Dark Restaurant is a world-famous theme restaurant in Beijing. The name of this restaurant comes from a fairy tale called "The Adventures of the Whale", which tells the story of a little boy who was unfortunately shipwrecked, was swallowed by a giant whale while drifting at sea, and lived strangely in the belly of the whale. The earliest dark restaurant was founded in 1999 by a blind priest in Zurich, Switzerland, with the purpose of providing employment opportunities for blind compatriots. Beijing's "Giant Whale Belly Dark Restaurant" is located in SOHO outside Guomao Jianwai. The original intention of this dark restaurant is to let customers ignore the appearance of food and concentrate on the taste of food, but no one who comes out of the darkness seems to pay attention to the taste of food. Everyone talks about the strange feeling of eating in the dark. The restaurant never shows its true features. The appearance of the restaurant is all black, and there is almost no light inside. The dining room only lights up when cleaning, and it is never open to the public. Because if outsiders know what the restaurant looks like, the restaurant will lose its mystery sooner or later. Only the investment in safety in dark restaurants is greater than that in ordinary restaurants. In order to ensure safety, the dark restaurant is equipped with all-round infrared video detectors, unique lighting emergency equipment and more convenient emergency exits, which are subject to strict examination and approval by the government regulatory authorities. Enjoy the dark food with your eyes closed. After entering this completely dark restaurant, every customer is required to wear a huge bib to prevent food and drinks from spilling on their clothes. They first came to the only bright place, in front of the collective ordering counter in the center of the restaurant, and ordered food under the dim light. After ordering, guests must be guided by waiters wearing night vision goggles. Customers will put their hands on the shoulders of service personnel wearing military night vision goggles, and slowly pace into the hall through the blind road, enter the opaque dining area, and begin to enjoy dark food. Customers are forbidden to use articles with bright lights, including mobile phones, cameras with flash lights, lighted cigarettes and watches with luminous function. Waiters wearing heavy military night-vision goggles stood respectfully aside, ready to serve customers in the dark. Everyone commented that it was really exciting to enjoy food in the dark. The "dark restaurant" shields people's vision and encourages people to try to experience the unique eating process only by relying on touch, smell, taste and hearing. For most people, this is an experience that has never been experienced before.
