To attract the sophisticated gourmet, the restaurateurs' imagination creates more and more bold spaces, filling them not only with the original menu and surroundings, but also with the unusual sensations of the guests. We present to your attention a selection of the most unusual restaurants in the capital.
1. Oktyabrskaya, 2/4
In the ranking of the most unusual institutions in Moscow, a restaurant with a speaking name is confidently leading. What will happen to a person’s taste sensations if one temporarily limits the most informative of the five senses — vision? Own answer to this sacramental question is received by visitors to the “darkest” restaurant in Moscow.
Another feature is that blind waiters will serve you. To completely plunge into darkness, it is customary to leave all luminous objects, including mobile phones, in front of the entrance. Experts say that metamorphoses will occur with other feelings, so try:
- Focus on a conversation with your companion. Perhaps you can learn a lot from his intonation and the sound of words.
- To appreciate the vibrations of live music, not muffled by the cacophony of light.
- Guess the composition of the food you eat.
There is a “white room” for choosing a menu in the restaurant, but the dishes in it remain secret until the end of the meal. There is only the opportunity to choose a vegetarian menu or dishes without fish. Therefore, trying to touch cooked dishes, you will have only an approximate idea of what is on your plate.
2. "Beverly Hills Diner", Nikolskaya St., 10
For fans of the criminal talent of Quentin Tarantino, this unusual Moscow restaurant has prepared a unique opportunity to present itself as a gangster drinking a milkshake for 5 bucks in the same cabriolet.
