What to expect at Dining in the Dark?
On arrival, guests will be led into the darkened environment by a “guide”, who’ll be on hand to make sure you don’t bump into anything on your way in, before leaving you to enjoy the heightened experience.
Dining in the Dark promises to “elevate your meal to a whole new level”, surrounded by only the faint glow of candlelight, leaving just you, your tastebuds and your sense of smell to enjoy fabulous dishes served in an Italian restaurant and wine bar. Blindfolds will be provided to all guests, and will help to unlock the remaining senses as you enjoy your meal.
While the rest of the evening will be shrouded in mystery, you have some control over the menu. Choose from a meat, seafood or vegan menu option when purchasing your tickets.
Where is Dining in the Dark?
Dining in the Dark is taking place at La Caverna, one of the finest Italian restaurants in Temple Bar. Popular among both locals and tourists, La Caverna serves fresh seafood, homemade pasta, pizza, and hand-cut beef filets. Find, or rather fumble in the dark for, your seat inside this welcoming restauring nestled in a historic building.
