Opened last October of 2016, Noche is the newest concept restaurant in the metro where you dine completely in the dark. Not just dim lighting or candlelight dinner, but utter and complete darkness! While eating, the crew will serve you mystery drinks and meals to make your dinner all the more unforgettable.
Noche offers dinner every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Diners are given a briefing on what to expect before they begin the dinner and were advised to leave their belongings and other accessories that will emit light on their security area before entering the dining area.
You can use the washroom during dinner too, but Noche prefers that you don’t so you can be submerged completely to the experience until the end. No worries about getting messy because you’ll be provided with aprons and gloves just in case.
