We enjoyed the food incredibly well! The experience of dining in the dark allows you to experience life from a whole new perspective and gives you a deeper insight into another world. It was a really great experience! A special thank you to our waitress Xhuljeta, who is a wonderful person and accompanied us throughout the evening. We chose the game menu and it was excellent. Ps: However, for people who are afraid of the dark, it may not be the best choice.

It was a mega experience. At the beginning it was very unusual because you really can't see your hand in front of your eyes, but our great waiter Pedro quickly took away your uncertainty. Every single one of the employees is super nice and friendly. Pedro is a super funny, friendly guy. He made the evening even more special. The food was super delicious. We'll definitely be back!!!

It was really an absolutely great experience to eat at Dunkel Restaurant. Starting with a really great and incredibly nice service, who like to poke fun at each other and always have a casual saying on their lips, to a really, really tasty meal. We had the feeling that the complete darkness made you perceive flavors much more intensely. An absolute recommendation for this great restaurant. We'll definitely be back soon. Thank you for this beautiful wedding day

We traveled a good 300 km from Saarland. The change was a bit unusual, but our waitress, dear Joline, quickly alleviated our uncertainty. It was an experience that you should definitely have.

An absolute experience. Since any light source is prohibited, of course no food can be published. Because you couldn't see anything, the enjoyment experience was more intense. You can choose between various menus and mention any intolerances beforehand so that there are no problems with the food. Eating in the absolute darkness is a challenge but also a wonderful experience that you should have. The service is very helpful and friendly. All in all, highly recommended.

Thanks to the Finster team! It was an unforgettable evening. ❤️ I have never experienced such darkness. It was an incredible experience! We chose the game menu from the menu and were thrilled. Yes, we used our fingers and enjoyed the menu. We also started talking to the people sitting next to us at the table. That was unusual but very nice. A very special thank you to our waiter Pedro, who guided us through the menu and the evening. Since the selection on the menu was very extensive and the service was so friendly, we will come back.

First of all I have to say! Many thanks to the people with poor eyesight or complete blindness for enjoying their job. My wife and I were there for the first time and didn't know what to expect...we were warmly welcomed. I have already selected the menu on the website in advance. A short time later our waitress Maria came and took us to our table! Even the way there was really exciting. Getting to the table in total darkness with the help of Maria was really exciting.. again a short time later our drinks arrived, followed by the food.. in short we were impressed by how it worked and that the food tasted so good. . So if you want to experience the experience up close...please go there and immerse yourself in the other senses.

Worth experiencing! The restaurant didn't seem that great to me (which you could tell), but the food and the waiter killed it! However, the portions could have been a little larger, hence a star deduction. Pedro the waiter was so friendly and funny that I would recommend the restaurant because of him.

Had already been given a meal at another dark restaurant and found the experience very interesting. Since the restaurant from back then no longer exists, but we wanted to share this experience with friends, we came here. We couldn't see the room/table at any time, but our waiter Mahmut brought us to the table via polonaise without any accidents, served us friendly and humorous throughout the evening, and escorted us out again at the end. Many greetings to him at this point... The food was very tasty and the 4-course meal really filled us up. When it comes to the much-mentioned price-performance ratio, you have to remember that you're not just paying for the food, but also for the special experience. In any case, we didn't regret it, we enjoyed it and can only recommend it. Parking is easy and relatively cheap in the university clinic's parking garage (approx. 5 minutes' walk).

First of all, the negative aspects first. The parking situation is really terrible, so it's best to plan a few extra minutes for this. Also, the portions could have been a little larger. With that out of the way, we can now focus on the predominantly positive aspects. Starting with the extremely friendly and humorous staff (best regards to Pedro) who make you feel comfortable from start to finish. The food was really to die for. The fact that you only have a rough idea of ​​what ends up on your plate is just the icing on the cake, because the food was, without exception, a 10/10. Last but not least, of course, is the aspect of eating in the dark. It's really pitch dark. But it's still an amazing experience having to rely on your other senses apart from sight. Maybe not appealing to everyone, and the fact that you should or even have to use your fingers while eating could put some people off. However, if you are open to it, you should definitely try it out in this restaurant!

With a queasy feeling and a little fear we drove to the dark dark restaurant today. We were received very warmly there. After we chose our menu (just a keyword, e.g. beef, the rest remains secret) we were soon welcomed by the blind waiter Pietro. Pietro accompanied us into the completely dark restaurant and took away our uncertainty with his fresh and cheerful manner. Another couple was sitting in the room with us. Pietro guided us through the menus with a lot of charm and humor and it was a real experience to taste the food without knowing what it was, sometimes even feeling it with your fingers. The food was delicious, even though I would never have chosen the dish on the menu. After the meal we were led out of the restaurant again and the menu was then explained. It was a really great evening, with very good food and super-friendly staff. We will definitely come back. Thanks to the entire staff for this successful evening

We had dinner there on Thursday August 8th, 2024. It was really incredibly great and an experience that I will never forget. Many thanks to Eddy our cellar, whose humor and friendliness gives everyone a safe, good feeling in the unfamiliar darkness. I can't remember a time when I approached eating so consciously and with completely different senses. Everything was really delicious and you forgot about time and even the darkness around you. All of the dishes were excellent and exceeded my expectations in terms of taste. It was a very special day and I will remember these hours. Dear team, thank you very much for the hospitality, the great, unbeatable service and the excellent food. I can only recommend everyone to stop by there as a guest.

So the first thing to say is that the service was great, our waiter/supervisor Bruno was super nice, would have earned a 6th star. It's an experience not to see anything at all and you have to let that sink in. It was really nice to forego cell phones and have a completely analogue conversation. What was critical was that in an emergency I wouldn't know where I would have to go, there was no emergency lighting. For my part, the food came too quickly one after the other, there were hardly any breaks between the three courses. The food itself was delicious, but there was room for improvement. Nevertheless, all in all it was a successful evening and worth an experience.

The dark restaurant Finster in Essen offers an extraordinary and unforgettable experience. Dining in complete darkness heightens the senses in ways previously unimaginable. Without the influence of vision, taste and smell are intensified, giving the carefully prepared dishes a new, fascinating dimension. Every dish that was served to us was of the highest quality and the finest flavors that melted in the mouth. The main course was particularly impressive, with its flavors becoming even more intense in the darkness. Another highlight of the evening was our waiter Eddy. Not only was he extremely attentive, but he was also extremely entertaining. With his charming humor and his ability to guide us safely through the darkness, he made the evening a completely successful experience. Eddy was a master at transforming the initial uncertainty that the darkness brought with it into serenity and joy. Anyone looking for an exceptional culinary experience is in good hands at Finster in Essen. This restaurant combines excellent cuisine with a unique concept and outstanding service. A visit to Finster is much more than just dinner – it is a journey into a completely new world of the senses.

A birthday present that I regret for the price. We both chose beef. The advertised price of €50.90 for a 3-course menu gave us hope for a taste experience in the dark. Unfortunately that wasn't the case! I am absolutely not a fan of ready meals, but here I experienced the full force of poor quality (meat) and ready meals for far too high a price! The 2 hour drive wasn't worth it, I can't recommend this restaurant. The waiter, Pedro, was very nice. The people in the anteroom, on the other hand, were a bit unfriendly. When we entered we didn't really feel welcome. Price-performance is absolutely not right! Interesting concept, poor implementation when it comes to food, which is what it's all about. Unfortunately I have to give one star for the food.

The service was very friendly and eating in the dark was an interesting experience. Unfortunately it was very stuffy in the dining room and the quality of the food was unfortunately not worthy of a restaurant. We ordered the vegan dish. Unfortunately the composition of the starter didn't match; there was leaf lettuce with bulgur. The bulgur was delicious, but the large lettuce leaves made no sense in the situation. The main course was rice with vegetable curry. The dish itself was harmonious, but unimaginative, I can do the same thing at home. The ice cream sorbet for dessert came with thawed frozen berries. That was definitely an impertinence. It's a shame, because we had heard a lot of good things and were looking forward to an exciting evening. Another note: We booked the "special package" for 16 euros for our anniversary, which included a glass of champagne and a mini 3D wooden puzzle with about 10 pieces that you should puzzle at home; the connection to the restaurant visit remains a mystery to me to this day !? All of this for over €100 for two people wasn't worth it to me.

It was a new experience, no question about it. At first impression, the restaurant is a bit shabby. And the toilet rooms are also getting old. The furnishings are not stylish, but everything is just thrown together. An interior designer should come in there. The women on The counter is very reserved and doesn't pay attention to you at all. You don't feel welcome there. Only the man at the cash register was great. If you see the atmosphere around it, you can pretty much imagine the kitchen. That's how it was. Standard, way too salty, nothing special. But ok for eating in the dark. Overpriced for the bit of standard food.

Our waiter Pedro guided us through the evening in a funny, entertaining and confident manner. The food was very good. Here you can really enjoy with all four remaining senses and concentrate fully on the taste of the food. Personally, I find it very relaxing not to be distracted by other stimuli.

We were given a voucher for the dark restaurant “Finster” in Essen and were very curious to see what it would be like. Since we didn't want to be spoiled, we didn't do any research beforehand. The restaurant is located in an old pub, so we first had to look for a parking space as there are no dedicated parking spaces. When we entered we were greeted not unfriendly, but not really friendly either. We were told in a rather harsh tone that we should turn off our cell phones now. We were then allowed to choose between vegetarian, vegan, game, beef and poultry and whether we would like a solid or liquid starter. Afterwards we were asked about the drinks. In our opinion, the older gentleman who served us was too forward and unfriendly towards us as guests, and that had nothing to do with the typical Ruhr area manner. We were eventually picked up by our waiter and taken to the dining room. It was completely dark. However, the waiter completely compensated for his colleague's rudeness. He was a very nice person who made us feel very comfortable. Our starter came quickly and it was definitely an experience to eat so completely in the dark. We had some difficulties at first, but we soon found fun with it. The food itself was average – not exceptionally good, but not bad either. We've definitely eaten worse. The moment of surprise because you didn't know what you were eating and eating in the dark without any visibility was an experience in itself. However, in the end we were very disappointed. Our nice waiter had told us that we would find out exactly what we ate outside. Unfortunately, the gentleman at the reception just checked us in quickly and we didn't get any further information about what exactly we ate and whether our assumptions were correct. We hope that the gentleman at the reception just had a bad day and is not so rude to all the guests. The waiter in the dining room was just great – nice, courteous and on the ball. All in all, we had an interesting evening, but we probably won't come back again. We don't need the experience of eating in complete darkness a second time, and the food was mediocre, so it's not worth coming a second time. Sufficient for the event, but unfortunately not enough to eat well.

Yesterday we spent a lovely evening in the dark with our son. We were greeted very friendly right from the start and even though we had some problems with our MayDays voucher on our cell phone, the Finster team remained absolutely relaxed and supported us to ultimately successfully solve the problem. We had Eddy in service and there was never a lack of friendliness and humor. It was the right size for each of his tables. The food was consistently delicious and I'm sure it looked just as good. The friendly colleague at the checkout was also very friendly and funny when it came to guessing the final ingredients. We can recommend it to anyone who wants to eat good and tasty food in a warm atmosphere. We would like to thank you very much for the team's commitment and wish you continued good health and success 🍀 A pleasant tip is definitely well spent there!

We were greeted very friendly and had our jackets and bags taken away, cell phones had to be turned off and watches taken away. We were led by the nicest and funniest waiter in the world "Bruno". When we arrived at the table, we first explored the table and became familiar with the absolute darkness. It was a lot of fun and one or two mistakes on our part were taken with a lot of humor. It was a very pleasant atmosphere and the many voices were very friendly and just as curious as we were. In this way, the meal was an absolute experience and a fireworks display for the senses.

I had dinner there with my family last Friday. We were all a bit unsure at first, as probably everyone who eats there for the first time. But it's really amazing how quickly we got used to the complete darkness and were able to embrace the experience. And the food was a dream (selected menus: fish, vegetarian and beef). We sometimes ate with our fingers, but luckily no one saw that😄 Apart from that, the entire Finster team was just great! From reception to our waiter Mahmout to the employee at the bar counter (who told us exactly what we had on our plates). Everyone is super nice and just cool :) We will be back.

War ein Geschenk. Due Erfahrung war ja nicht schlecht, nur hätte ich schon gerne vorher gewusst was ich essen werde. Das suche ich mir ja in jedem andren Restaurant auch aus. Das Rinderfilet war mega zäh. Auch das meditarine Menü ließ geschmacklich zu wünschen übrig. Der Nachtisch war lecker.

It's a cool experience I would recommend everyone to do! Super nice service there made us feel like we were in good hands! Afterwards we were told what we had eaten, it would be great if you could see it with a picture :)

Food and staff top. The dark room is not for everyone. From the feel of it (you can't see your hand in front of your eyes) it was very cramped. 1-2 tables less would have been nicer. But none of this detracts from it. My full respect to all blind people for how you manage all this. We'll definitely do it again sometime.

On a recommendation we traveled about 280 km and we enjoyed it. We were warmly welcomed and after we had stowed away and handed over our watches, cell phones, etc., we were kindly picked up by our waitress and brought to the table. Everything was explained and we felt like we were in good hands. Just let your taste buds run their course again. It's a true experience. The staff is super friendly and always up for a joke. If we are in the area again, I will definitely make a reservation again.

Visiting the darkest restaurant in the Ruhr area. So what can I say...I went here with no expectations, I was completely surprised. Many people have direct prejudices: "I want to see my food!".."who knows what they'll serve you?!".. But I think that misses the point. The question is: Do you recognize food? even without perceiving them visually. The eye is not there here. I was positively surprised. The first impression was that the employee was now leading us into a dark, musty basement...But that wasn't the case. You could quickly imagine how big the room you were sitting in was and then the first meal arrived. Italian. Olives, salad, later came pasta. Seeing nothing can be quite attractive :-)) and also humorous. Afterwards the resolution and we recognized a lot...Would recommend it.

Even as a snobby Sauerlander it was tasty 😉 all in all a big respect to the service 👍👍👍 keep it up. Oh yes about the ambience: I can't give it any stars... I didn't see anything 🤣🤣🤣

The gentleman at reception was very unfriendly, as were the service ladies at the bar. We had booked a 4-course menu including 3 drinks. We were not informed that there is a difference in price whether you drink it in the dark room or at the bar after your meal. There were also cards with prices that were not correct and you had to pay extra. So be careful!!! The waiters in the dark do a great job.

It was great!!! I was very skeptical beforehand, fearing whether I would be able to endure the darkness. Our waiter Pablo was great. He quickly allayed my fears... It was spectacular - I'm glad I took part in this experience. PABLO and Cengiz, thank you very much for this great experience with you!!!

It was a very special experience. The reception was very friendly and humorous. The service staff are helpful and attentive. We were there with four people and everyone was satisfied. Even though we didn't see the food, we thought it was excellent. In the entrance area of ​​the restaurant everything is still bright and attractive. Eating is done in the dark area and dark is really black. A special experience that I can only recommend.

We were there today and you have to say it was a very interesting experience. The food was really delicious. A big compliment goes to our waiter Pedro. He is such a friendly, warm-hearted young man and always has an easy-going saying on his lips. Really a big thank you to you for the enjoyable time in the dark, say Jenny and Michael. In any case, everyone should do it once to experience it.

An unforgettable experience! The team was nice, friendly. The food was really good and it's exciting not knowing what's on your plate. It was a bit too cold in the room for me, and when we finished dessert, the time until we were taken out was very long. But overall a great evening.

Really great! The food is very very tasty. The whole team was particularly friendly and accommodating. A big thank you to our waiter Machmut, he is totally friendly, funny and competent. A small drawback: due to the limited number of seats, other guests were seated at the table with us. This is pointed out on the website, but it is more pleasant with two people alone. Still 5 stars. We'd love to come back :)

Food was very tasty. We had the three course menu of beef and game. No details will be revealed ;-) The experience of not being able to see anything while eating and not knowing exactly what was on the plate was a great experience. Our waiter Pietro was absolutely great. Totally nice, personable and did his best to entertain the room. A small point of criticism: It was sometimes extremely loud in the room when everyone was talking. Seems to be a very small and narrow space.

NEVER AGAIN! The lighting in the restaurant is typical Levante: cold light, maximally uncomfortable. The service is completely unfriendly. When I pointed out that my so-called Pizza Frutti di Mare consisted largely of surimi as a topping, I was informed that they didn't actually make the pizza themselves. Or just not the covering? Who knows, communication was hardly possible. At the end I was shouted 'Did you understand???' Unbelievable. Everyone in the restaurant was given bread in advance. Not me. At the table next door there was grappa on the house. Not me. The pizza was a disaster, soggy and loveless. The topping: frozen seafood with surimi. Abnormal! I can't understand the positive reviews. The whole 'experience' was a complete disaster.

I first became aware of the restaurant through a friend and have walked past here many times... Very friendly and courteous service. We immediately felt at home here. The food was tasty, but for my taste it could have used a little more seasoning. My personal highlight was the view of the lake ♥ while eating
