RealBlind in Gernsheim

A truly unique experience. The chef himself is blind and also handles the service. When making a reservation, you can specify any dietary restrictions or other requirements, which are then taken into account when choosing your pre-selected menu (three or five courses are available). An aperitif at the bar awaits you upon arrival, and then you proceed single file to the restaurant. The meal is truly served in complete darkness. No light from cell phones or smartwatches. You are seated. The table is set. Drinks can be ordered. The food is served, and you have to see (or rather, feel) how to manage with the cutlery (or your fingers) and drinks. Meanwhile, the chef answers all your questions about blindness. With each course, you have to guess what you think you've eaten. The answer is revealed after each course, and you're often quite surprised. Finally, you return single file through the darkness to the light, where you can view the dishes on a screen. The food is (deliberately) simple. No flavor explosions, but it was perfectly fine. The salad was a bit too cold. Overall, a recommendable experience, even though we were initially appalled by the illuminated part of the venue. A former, rather run-down disco. Oh well, you can't see the rest. 😉 All in all, a successful evening.

Marcel is simply the coolest guy in the world. He cooked himself, served everyone himself, and shared his "Real Blind" experiences with an incredibly humorous and open manner. I'm a huge fan of Marcel – and I left this evening with a whole new level of gratitude. It was a fantastic, touching, and incredibly fun experience. The food was a five-course meal with a classic German twist and an international flair. I would do it again in a heartbeat. But definitely: only with Marcel! 😉 We wish him all the best with the move and everything that lies ahead! We'll be back.

My impression of RealBlind that evening was unfortunately very negative. I had expected a carefully prepared tasting menu, but this was not met. I found the five-course menu to be almost entirely unsalted and flavorless. The Asian noodle salad was unpleasant from the very first bite. In fact, I couldn't manage more than one bite of any of the courses served. The soup (presumably miso) tasted bland. The mozzarella in the tomato and mozzarella dish seemed dry and of poor quality. The main course (chicken and beef with vegetables) was, in my opinion, poorly seasoned and lacked any culinary flair. The dessert (strudel with ice cream) also failed to impress me. In addition, I found the dining room to be very cold. The restrooms did not give me a clean impression, which further negatively impacted my overall experience. I respect the owner's personal story and the idea behind the concept. For me, the quality of the food and the overall experience are paramount when choosing a restaurant. At a price of at least €150 for two people, the value for money is not right in my opinion. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this restaurant.

We were there in mid-December. Parking was available in the courtyard and on the surrounding streets. The venue isn't very modern. That doesn't really matter, though, since you can't see anything anyway when you're led into the room where everything takes place. It's pitch black. As a sighted person, it's difficult to fully immerse yourself in that. You have to feel it, after all. But I think M. puts you at ease. It's definitely a worthwhile experience. I can recommend this event to any sighted person. The food is good. Eating in the dark is a challenge, but somehow it works. Hard to believe. It was cool upstairs at reception, but warm downstairs in the dining area. So all in all, it was fine. M. answered all our questions honestly and kindly. We wish M. all the best for the future. We'll probably repeat the event, even if it's later. I've ordered his story/book and am currently reading it. It's really unfair how life sometimes works out.

A truly fantastic experience. However, anyone expecting to just pop into some fancy restaurant is in the wrong place. No waitstaff with night-vision goggles. No five-person kitchen crew. No restaurant playing it dark today. The chef is blind. But my initial pity turned into deep respect. He still waits tables. Serves drinks. He's always busy. He's got the place, his place, under control. The aesthetics are secondary. It's authentic. It's delicious. It's simple. You wouldn't even notice the cress foam. Home-style cooking. An experience for all the senses (except sight). We'll be back.

We really enjoyed it. It was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely come again. I realize that for us it was just a one-off experience, but for Marcel it was a long-standing reality. Therefore, I'm all the more impressed with you for making something like this possible and for getting up and continuing despite all the obstacles! Thank you so much, Marcel, for the wonderful evening, your hospitality, and your openness.

Thank you so much for a wonderful and exciting evening. The event was fantastic, and Marcel was a truly attentive host who made us feel genuinely valued when we asked questions like, "Did you enjoy your meal?" and "Do you need anything else?" The food was absolutely delicious, and the subtle seasoning in some dishes really brought out the individual flavors. We especially loved the dessert, which was simply superb. Marcel's friendly and engaging personality made the evening a lot of fun.

The focus here is on the experience, immersing yourself in a "foreign world" and simply opening yourself up to someone else. Thanks for the experience 😊

Marcel is a fantastic host! Highly recommended.

A truly impressive experience, both the experience of being in complete darkness and Marcel's impressive, authentic manner with his honest answers and immense presence. Highly recommended, an experience that will stay with you.

We went without high expectations but left with huge grins and full stomachs. Marcel cooked for us and captivated us with his wonderfully honest nature. You can ask him anything about his story, his blindness, his life, and you get an honest answer with plenty of dark humor. Such an impressive story. But of course, the food was also incredibly delicious, a good portion, and the meat was especially outstanding. You should definitely go and try it. Marcel, woe betide you if you don't go into comedy... you belong on a stage! 😊 Thanks for the great evening!

My wife and I visited the Realblind in Gernsheim to try out the "dining in the dark" concept. The idea and history of the restaurant are definitely interesting and offer a unique experience. The restaurant itself is completely dark, truly pitch black. The more you try to get used to the darkness, the more exhausting it becomes, so it's best not to even try. Entry is in single file, almost like a small polonaise, until you reach your seat. The food was quite delicious, but you shouldn't go there expecting to be completely full; the experience is clearly more important than the crowd. Unfortunately, the reception area didn't impress us: It seemed rather cold and uncomfortable, and there were even cobwebs on the walls, which doesn't quite fit with the otherwise unique concept. Overall, it was an interesting experience for us, one worth having once. We personally wouldn't go back, but we wouldn't advise against it or recommend it without reservation. It's best to try it for yourself and form your own opinion.

We had a wonderful evening at Marcel's. We were a mixed couple, so not only did I order vegetarian, but I also had the 3-course menu and my husband the 5-course menu. Marcel managed everything superbly. The food was delicious, but what was particularly special was that Marcel told us his story authentically and openly. We were very impressed by his positive, hands-on approach. Many sighted people could learn a thing or two from that. We'd love to come back again.

We were truly delighted last night, both with the food and the pleasant and cool experience of eating in the dark, as well as with Marcel's exciting and inspiring story. We'll be back!

An evening full of highlights! Eating in the dark challenged our senses and led to some exciting “aha” moments. Marcel not only guided us confidently and humorously, but also answered every question honestly and authentically – a real-blind experience you should definitely try 😉.

It was very nice. I really had a wonderful time. The food was delicious, and it was exciting to guess what you were eating. It was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I'm absolutely thrilled. I went there with my sister, her boyfriend, and my boyfriend. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much for the wonderful time! I highly recommend it to everyone.

Not really, the price-performance ratio is not right.

I found the lobby unappealing. I didn't really enjoy the food. I didn't think the price was appropriate for the experience.

A fun and interesting evening. Marcel is also very nice and answers every question he's asked. I would do it again.

My husband and I were at realblind this evening and are still thrilled. His personal story particularly touched us deeply – so authentic, impressive, and inspiring! Another absolute highlight was eating in the dark: enjoying it as blind people and trying to guess what we were tasting was incredibly exciting and challenged our senses in a completely new way. The special atmosphere – full of trust, surprise, and humor – made the evening unforgettable. It was an experience that will stay with us for a long time. We are very grateful for it and can wholeheartedly recommend it.

A great experience! I would recommend it to everyone!

The experience of eating in complete darkness was exciting and beautifully presented, and the food was okay. It wasn't outstanding, nothing I'd go back for, but it was okay. What definitely dampened the evening for me, however, were the completely inappropriate comments and statements. For example, the question "what could sighted people do better with regard to blind people?" was answered with "blowing up the entire current government would help," which, even if it had clearly been presented as a joke (but it didn't seem that way), is a borderline comment from an event organizer. All in all, I wouldn't go again and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Hello Marcel, We were your guests last night and it was an incredibly wonderful evening! I highly recommend this experience! The food was delicious, your entertaining of the guests was fantastic, and our table neighbors rounded it all off! We wish you all the best, good health, and continued success! I'm looking forward to reading your book! Best regards, Nadine and Christian

A very interesting alternative to a traditional restaurant. We went for breakfast. It was a real experience to eat it "blind."

The five-course surprise menu at the Dinner in the Dark was amazing. A really cool new experience for my girlfriend and me. We'd love to come back. It was well organized from the reception to the farewell. There's plenty of time to ask Marcel questions about the whole concept and the background.

We had the pleasure of visiting the Real Blind Restaurant and were extremely pleasantly surprised. The experience offers an extraordinary opportunity to perceive everyday life from a different perspective and gain new insights. It's not about culinary delights in the traditional sense, but rather a different way of looking at life and experiencing things. The ambiance and service were always professional and friendly. The food also met our expectations and was served with care. Overall, our visit was very enriching, and we can recommend this experience to anyone open to new experiences. We will definitely recommend the Real Blind Restaurant to others to raise awareness of this interesting niche.

Thank you so much for this experience! It was sensational, and every (sighted) person should have this experience.

I can definitely recommend the location. Both the experience of eating in the dark and the owner of the restaurant make the evening a highlight. Thank you very much. We'll be back.

Two weeks ago, my partner and I had the pleasure of visiting RealBlind – a very special restaurant where you enjoy dinner in complete darkness and experience a unique change of perspective. What's impressive is that the host is blind himself and handles the entire service entirely on his own – from reception to table service. The atmosphere was unique. In the dark, you quickly lose track of time and learn to rely on other senses. It was exciting, challenging, and at the same time very touching. The food was excellent – ​​you taste things much more intensely when you can't see what you're eating! But what really makes the whole thing special is the host himself. An incredibly personable person who openly and honestly shares his life story and answers every question with impressive calmness and openness. You go home not only full, but also inspired. Thank you for this unforgettable experience – I will definitely be back!

An unforgettable experience! You'll receive a warm welcome upon arrival. A particularly exciting feature: For a small additional charge, you can participate in a "blind course." This short introduction to life without sight is highly recommended and is a wonderful preparation for the evening. Afterwards, there's a small champagne reception where you can mingle with the other guests. The real highlight begins at 7:00 PM – the meal in complete darkness. The experience of eating in total darkness was surprisingly intense and completely different from what we expected. We served a three-course menu with home-style cooking. It's important to note: This is deliberately not Michelin-starred cuisine – the chef emphasizes honest, down-to-earth dishes, which works perfectly. You don't order anything yourself, but rather let yourself be surprised – it may not suit everyone's taste, but the food was consistently good, and the dessert, in particular, was truly delicious! During the meal, the blind host talks openly about his life – and you're welcome to ask any questions. These personal insights make the evening truly special. All in all: An absolutely worthwhile experience that we highly recommend to everyone! Thank you! the vegetarians!

Very cool experience! The food was very good and Marcel is a great guy with a really dry sense of humor.

Marcel, we'll be back. Your food was outstanding, your jokes legendary. It was an unforgettable experience. I have enormous respect for you for catering, entertaining, filling, and entertaining 30 people all by yourself yesterday.

I highly recommend a visit to RealBlind! The food isn't highly complex Michelin-starred cuisine, but it's very good in terms of quality and flavor. And that's a good thing, because otherwise you'd hardly have a chance to taste or smell what you're eating. Marcel also brings his guests into his world for a few hours. He also answers all the questions you might not normally dare to ask a blind person and tells his story, which is especially helpful in learning how to bounce back after one or more devastating blows of fate. He combines all this with a good dose of humor. We had a wonderful time, laughed a lot, and ate well!

Great experience, absolutely recommended!

It was a fantastic evening and a fantastic experience! The story behind it is impressive... My respect

A very special experience that teaches you to appreciate what you have more

A very positive, intense experience today at dinner in the dark. The food is down to earth and very tasty. The ambience (as long as it's not in the dark) is in a charming 70s style. I don't understand the negative comments at all. Everyone should have understood Marcel's explanations. Then complain about some urgently needed renovations... I can only shake my head. I pay him the utmost respect and my conclusion: an extraordinary evening that I had a lot of fun.

When eating becomes a minor matter & you completely immerse yourself in the world of the blind. Great experience & highly recommended!

Super interesting experiences. The food tasted very good and I really liked the information about blindness. I would definitely come again.

Marcel is a wonderful and warm host. The event is very impressive. I don't want to miss this experience. Marcel tells his personal and professional story at the event. I take my hat off to him. He is direct and honest and has a slightly bitter sense of humor. Stay the way you are.

It was a really great experience at RealBlind! During the parkour we did before dinner, we were able to see how quickly we could get used to the complete darkness. The whole time, Marcel answered every question very honestly and authentically and took great care of us guests. If you listen carefully and do the most important things when eating (e.g. placing your drinks correctly), nothing will go wrong. The food (both vegetarian and meat) was very tasty and really filled us up! And it was super interesting to find out how well or poorly you can taste the different components of the food without your sense of sight. Marcel is a really brave person from whom we can all learn a lot! Thank you for the delicious and interesting evening!

A visit to the dark restaurant is an absolutely unique experience! The vegetarian 3-course menu was once again very tasty. The blind host enriched the evening with his open and warm manner. He told a lot of his personal story and you could ask him questions at any time, which created a special connection. This was my second time there because I liked it so much, and it definitely wasn't the last time. It's incredibly exciting to eat in complete darkness and concentrate entirely on the senses of taste and smell. I can really recommend it to everyone! Kind regards Liz & Nina

Clear recommendation It's not just eating in the dark, but the overall experiences we had with it. Marcel, he is the boss, blind, cooked and led us through the evening, is a very likeable guy. He told us a lot about his life and we were able to ask all the questions that you might not dare ask a blind person. He answered this very comprehensively, The food was really good and the event was a great experience. Pour wheat beer into a glass in the darkest darkness🤦‍♂️

I would like to post a few photos of the food, but we ate in total darkness. The evening at RealBlind was a great experience. We had a 3-course menu with a large selection of drinks and a lovely evening with our table neighbors, the whole group and the owner/chef/waiter who gave us an "insight" into how he perceives the world.

We were at the Real Blind yesterday. I thought it was a great experience and we are happy. Since I work in the catering industry myself, I think that Marcel does an incredible job as a blind chef and service at the same time. The food was of course not star food, which no one should expect. But you could eat everything well. [I'm pretty spoiled when it comes to food] Unfortunately, I can't understand the bad reviews because I see the extraordinary achievement of a blind person who does all of this. Great respect. According to our guests, you can eat quite well here. But I can't imagine how I'm going to cook something good in the dark. I think most people would have a problem preparing bread in the dark. Think about it. CONCLUSION: nice evening with lots of impressions. Great respect.

Yesterday we went to Marcel's Real Blind with friends. So that you can understand my star rating, I'll tell you a little about the evening. For us it was an absolutely great experience. We were a bit skeptical based on the other reviews here, but that completely disappeared during the evening. It must be made clear that this is not about star-quality food in a high-end atmosphere; if you want that, you're in the wrong place here. The location is a bit old, which doesn't bother you at all when you're eating because you're sitting in complete darkness, your eye has no chance of finding a fixed point. The food was good and when you consider that Marcel does it all on his own, it's absolutely worth recognition👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻I still can't understand how he was able to tell all the guests (24) apart with all the extra requests (vegetarian, lactose intolerant , no pork, no raw fruit etc.). Forget the sometimes unjustified reviews and embark on the adventure of not seeing anything. The dark course is also recommended, it's amazing what our brain can do when one sense is missing🤩

I can't say it was the best dinner of my life, but that's not the point! The point is to appreciate that it was cooked and served by a blind person. He was super sweet and nice, answered all questions without inhibition and gave me personal joy in life. If anyone wants to go for a culinary experience, please don't. It should be simple cuisine so that you can trust your senses. Still, what’s happening is super valuable!

We were just there. It was a really great evening. I can only recommend the Real Blind. Marcel is incredibly funny and answered all of our questions. The food was super tasty. Thanks for the great evening. I definitely recommend you. Kind regards, Lisa

Were there last night, the dark pacour wasn't spectacular, but it was definitely worth the experience for people who haven't had any contact with blindness. I liked the way Marcel communicated with the guests. The food was good, home-style. However, you can tell that RealBlind is housed in an old building and that the building has unfortunately only been renovated to a worse extent and has not been restored. Unfortunately, the reception room was really cold and I didn't find it comfortably warm in the restaurant either.......but too cold .

We were there last night and to be honest, I arrived with mixed feelings due to some of the reviews here on Google. After the evening I can say that some people should be ashamed of their comments. Yes, it's true, it may not be a culinary highlight, but the food was still good. Everyone should have the experience of eating blind. I have to say about Marcel that he is a special type of person, which is what he says about himself. Personally, I thought it was good how he talked about himself and his perspective. Even though the building and furnishings are no longer up to date, in my opinion the event was a success. We were a large, sociable group of 22 people and there was no one to complain about. If someone is hesitant because of a bad review, I can say with a clear conscience “just try it out” you can’t go wrong.

The evening was a complete success. The host Marcel is blind and independent. He is a trained chef, prepares the food himself and also takes care of the service. This is really very impressive. He is a very inspiring and positive person. We had the 3-course menu - and we enjoyed all the dishes very much. I won't reveal what there was so you can guess for yourself. We also had the opportunity to ask questions between courses and he told us stories about his life, his everyday life and how he went blind. My conclusion: the food is good average, but the experience is definitely a must-have!

Unfortunately, my worst dining experience. Run-down restaurant. The dark parkour is a series of dusty4 everyday objects for which the innkeeper takes 4 euros. Thank God there was disinfectant. As you can read in some reviews, “the other chef” was sick again. You can smell the toilet everywhere... To eat: - "Pumpkin soup" (very watery soup with raw seeds, unseasoned) - Main course: indefinable, supposedly 3 types of meat, raw (!) potatoes, no sauce - Dessert: convenience apple coconut strudel (was the only one edible, but I can also get it from a discount store and cook it in the microwave...) We like to eat out often and have already had (very good) dark dinner experiences - this restaurant wasn't it. Absolutely no recommendations. Original sound from an accompaniment A: "I think it's cheeky that people spend money on this!" Accompaniment B: "That was the worst meal I've ever had anywhere in my life."

I would like to convey to you my regret and disappointment about my visit to your restaurant. Unfortunately, the evening was anything but pleasant and I am forced to send you a complaint both for an outrageous incident and for health reasons. First of all, I would like to emphasize that I had to experience an incredibly inappropriate comment from you, also from a guest (who unfortunately didn't dare to reveal it afterwards, well, in the dark you dare) that referred to my origins from Kazakhstan. Such a discriminatory attitude is not only insulting, but also ruined the entire evening for me and my companion. In a public place, every person should be treated with respect, regardless of their origin or nationality. I am deeply disappointed that such behavior is tolerated in your restaurant. As if that wasn't bad enough, after my visit I discovered that the food eaten was obviously not perfect. Just a few hours after visiting the restaurant, I had severe stomach pain that lasted for the next two days. Visiting your restaurant not only had an emotional but also a physical impact on me. Visiting your restaurant not only had an emotional but also a physical impact on me. I hope that you will thoroughly investigate this incident and take steps to ensure that no discriminatory behavior or sanitary deficiencies occur in your restaurant. As a guest, I expect a certain standard of professionalism and quality, which was in no way met here. I hope to hear back soon and an appropriate apology, as we stopped the whole thing in the middle because we couldn't take it anymore.

The chef and owner Marcel is super nice and humorous. You will be welcomed with a champagne reception. This reception room is rather less spectacular. Then you go into the completely dark restaurant area and can enjoy the food with all your senses, except your eyes of course. Not only do you have the experience of eating in the dark, but you also learn something about it and what it's like to live blindly. It is absolutely worth a visit. The ambience is great and the food was super tasty.

Exciting experience of eating a 3 course meal in the dark. Great host. Relaxed atmosphere, even if it is completely dark. We'd love to come back.

Unfortunately a big disappointment... Unfortunately, there was a major accident on the route to Gernsheim, which is why our buffer of 45 minutes was not enough. We arrived 5 minutes late. All the guests were already sitting at their tables and after a short wait and a quick update on what we need to pay attention to (cell phones, watches, etc. anything that could make light must be packed away) we were brought to our table. It happened as it had to, my husband's AppleWatch has a small circular light (not even the size of a pea) that unfortunately lit up briefly in my pocket! Another guest saw this and rudely told us that no lights were allowed here and that we should turn everything off. It has to be said that we were already sitting and the little light under the table lasted for about 2-3 seconds. The guest only noticed this because he was sitting right next to my husband. Anyway, the host, who was also the cook, came and said to us: “I told you that you have to pack everything up and if that happens again, then it’s time for work!” Quitting time?! You might think we did this on purpose - NOT! of course not. It was just accidental and unintentional. But there was nothing we could do about it. We thought the host's reaction was terrible! And actually we didn't feel like staying there anymore, but it was also difficult to get out of the situation. Since the host introduced himself as someone who doesn't mince his words and always says exactly what he thinks, I thought, I'll rate his food like this: The asparagus CREAM soup was chunky, the noodles with the meat were sometimes crispy or buttery. Without sauce! The explanation was: well, you can't blindly eat dishes with a lot of sauce, you would just get spilled on yourself. It hardly tasted like anything. Dessert was a glass of dry Kaiserschmarren and a few strawberries For 46€ per person (EXCLUSIVE DRINKS) we unfortunately have to say that it was not satisfactory, the service was simply rude and you also pay more for the attraction of someone blind making the food than for the food itself. If it had at least been a friendly environment, we could have overlooked it. But for us it is not an undertaking that we would do again or recommend to anyone.

Entertainment was great, it's also worth an experience. I was just hoping for a little more from the food, I was missing more smell and taste explosions.

Very interesting and enriching experience. Marcel took us into his world and spoke very openly and loosely about the topic of blindness. The food was very tasty, but I would have liked dishes that were more unusual and therefore more difficult to taste. But that's also a matter of taste. We would love to come by again and highly recommend it!

A very exciting evening with good food. The host, who is also the cook and the waiter, guides you through this informative evening. An experience worth having. We really liked it and I can only recommend it. The building is listed and not everything is up to date, but that's not the point here.

Unfortunately I have to say it: I have never eaten so badly. Every snack bar is better. We had a lot of expectations for the evening. Eating with all your senses except your eyes. Given the high price for the 5 course menu, you can expect something... that's what we thought... The outside of the building is absolutely run down, and the inside is also old and unattractive. The champagne reception didn't work at all, champagne and Hugo weren't even on discounter level. The dining room, even though we didn't see it, seemed cheap and run down to all senses. Despite the 5 course menu there was only one cutlery. Luckily my water was served in a bottle. And now for food. Cheapest plates, cheapest ingredients, tried to spice things up with ready-made products, taste-wise a complete disaster. I'm assuming that the cook is untrained, I can't imagine a trained cook producing something like that, whether sighted or not. The food seemed pre-cooked and kept warm, the soup was supposedly asparagus, was water with flour, indefinable. In addition, the courses came so quickly that it was difficult to eat. We like to eat good, high-quality food, cook a lot ourselves at home and have a very good sense of taste and smell. The food was simply inedible. In addition, the owner came across as extremely annoying. There was no chance of chatting with friends; he marketed himself on a tour and wanted to hear questions, which he answered in a brutally self-overestimating manner. It's a shame, it's actually a great idea, just implemented completely wrong. We would have liked to try out our senses, but that is not possible here. You look for enjoyment and atmosphere in vain. Never again!

Great location, nice host who deals with blindness very openly. 3 course menu tasted good. Interesting experience of eating without seeing anything. We recommend

I was there as a guest a few days ago and I have to honestly say that the price is nowhere near what you get. What is advertised on the website as “you will be spoiled with culinary delights” was very disappointing for me. The soup was lukewarm and lacked seasoning, the main course with meat was dry and the dessert wasn't impressive either. Marcel, who probably does most of the work on his own, told us his fate (why and how he went blind) and filled the evening with it. That didn't lift the spirits of everyone. The location itself was a run-down former dance hall. It was neither well-kept - the toilets smelled unpleasant - nor a comfortable place. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this event in good conscience. It was of course an interesting experience having to rely only on your senses in complete darkness. But in order to really enjoy this, the external conditions must also be right. This restaurant is far from that.

Great experience, worth experiencing!

Marcel is a super likeable person, he answers every question and accompanies you through the evening in a pleasant, humorous and authentic way. The food (also cooked by him) tasted very tasty. More than a successful experience with an excellent price-performance ratio.

A great experience! Marcel creates an unforgettable evening with his great manner.

We had a really great evening with good food (vegetarian), all-round feel-good service and a humorous host (Marcel). He is not only the chef, but also serves the drinks and food. In between, he also answered all questions with his humorous and open manner. An all-round great experience to eat in complete darkness. We recommend this experience, it was also very well received by our parents as a gift. We will be back definitely!

It was a very great experience! Marcel is really good at his job and a very inspiring personality. He showed me that life can be more than worth living, even if you are blind.

A great and very inspiring evening! Big compliment!

Great evening with a fascinating host. It was a wonderful experience and a very tasty meal. Thanks to the team

It was a real experience to eat in the dark, completely different to what I had imagined. We bought the voucher through Groupon and also made the reservation through it. We didn't have to show the voucher on site, they just asked for the name under which the reservation was made. The welcome drinks were on the house. We only had to pay for the drinks at the table after dinner. There are parking spaces on Schöfferplatz.

A real experience, Marcel is super personable and humorous the meal was successful. A special kind of dinner

It was an intense experience that went far beyond eating the (good) food. Marcel is an open and humorous host. His story and the experience of having dinner in complete darkness really makes you think. We really enjoyed the evening and can really recommend Real Blind.

A nice evening. The food was significantly better than expected. Allergies were taken into account... The drinks prices were very humane. The host Marcel guided us through the evening very well...told us a lot about blind people and their everyday lives. Every question was answered. The building is very old (rented and listed), but he's doing something with it. All 4 of us were thrilled. Recommend to others and will come again. Thank you for the great evening, we are very impressed

A great experience and fascinating what is possible

There is no relationship between price and performance. Respect for the owner's career, but his story was much too intrusive and intrusive for us. It was less about blind people in general and more about his own views, not all of which have to be shared. The food was not good at all and the courses were served at a very short interval. The food was actually only a minor issue, so you shouldn't call it "dinner". The building and the visible and invisible furnishings (yes, even in the dark you can tell what kind of chairs you are sitting on and what cutlery you are using) are not in an appropriate condition for the price you pay for the experience. How can the high price be justified?

Unfortunately I can't post photos of the food, but it's great

It was a great evening, a lovely experience. Thanks Marcel for the insight

A great experience, thank you very much!

Cool event, very interesting and nice host.

It was super exciting, really an experience. Marcel guided us wonderfully through the evening, answered questions about blindness and gave us insights into his everyday life as a blind person. The food was good, all in all a really successful evening

During our visit, good home cooking, well designed to take alternative diets into account. Marcel tries to make his food accessible to the general public by avoiding dairy products and nuts, for example. Marcel (chef, owner, moderator of the evening) is a super likeable guy with just the right amount of self-irony and black humor!

It was a very interesting and impressive experience to eat in the pitch dark - the food was very tasty and Marcel was a very good host

A very nice experience and good food, some reviews here are simply out of place. It's not about chic, but mainly about experience, other impressions and perception. A big thank you to Marcel for his hospitality... he puts his heart and soul into it. We wish you all the best for the future and much more... we will definitely come back again 👍☺️

Some of the reviews here are really shameful. Yes, it's not a fancy model restaurant, but that's not the point. Of course it could be renovated, but that is always a question of cost. We went to Real Blind today because we were given it as a gift for our wedding last year and we thought the evening was a great success. It was our second dinner in the dark and we found this one to be much more interesting than the last one. We learned a lot from Marcel about life as a blind person and were always able to guess together between courses what we had just eaten. Don't expect a romantic dinner here, but rather an experience of not being able to see anything. We find it very impressive how Marcel runs the place almost alone. The food was delicious and the focus was on tasting the individual components and not on a particularly beautiful presentation of the food. Whatever the point, the eye doesn't eat at this dinner either. I think it's a shame that some people even think that you have to warn other people not to go there. We had a great evening and an extraordinary experience with a very nice, humorous and open-minded host who wants to break down barriers to visually impaired or blind people. Thank you for that :)

Eine tolle Erfahrung, leckeres Essen. Auf jeden Fall weiter zu empfehlen.

Eine ganz besondere Erfahrung, Informationen perfekt präsentiert und sehr unterhaltsam transportiert. Ein sehr leckeres Menü. Alles in allem, total zu empfehlen. Wir waren vollkommen zufrieden und begeistert. Und, by the way, gelernt hat man auch noch dabei über den Einblick ins nichts Sehen. Danke für den sehr interessanten und schönen Abend.

Wir hatten hier heute einen absolut genialen Abend. Essen hat absolute mega geschmeckt, Marcel der selbst bedient und mittags vorher kocht ein absolut spitzen Typ. Zum Ambiente gibt es eigentlich nichts zusagen außer das es Stock dunkel war aber trotzdem gehört so einem Restaurant einach die volle Punktzahl, weil alles einfach mega war.

Es war eine wertvolle Erfahrung mit ein sehr angenehmer Gastgeber. Super schön, interessant und empfehlenswert.

War eine sehr tolle Erfahrung... Marcel war ein sehr cooler und netter Gastgeber... Würde es wieder machen...

Ich kann und möchte es weiter empfehlen ! Die Lebensmittel sind hochwertig und exzellent zubereitet ! Es ist anzumerken das sich seine Ausbildung als Koch positiv wieder spiegelt � Herr Heim führte uns „Sehende „gekonnt durch die Dunkelheit und ich fühlte mich sehr wohl und sicher ! Durch Sein Freundliches Auftreten und seine Offenheit was seine Persönliche Blindheit betrifft, beantwortet er Fragen und ist bemüht den Sehenden ein Einblick in den Alltag eines Blindes zu vermitteln und zu begreifen ! Ich Persönlich habe was dazu gelernt und gut dabei gegessen , so macht Leben Spaß … Ich Danke Dir , Marcel !

Gestern war ich mit meinem Lieblingsmensch und einer lieben Freundin im RealBlind zum Essen im Dunklen. Es war eine ganz neue Erfahrung, denn für Sehende ist die Beeinträchtigung blind zu sein in keinster Weise vorstellbar. Man begibt sich in eine fremde Welt, in der plötzlich unser Hauptsinn, das Sehen ausgeschaltet ist. Es ist irritierend und macht auch hilflos, auf einmal buchstäblich "im Dunklen zu tappen". Aber man fühlt sich gut aufgehoben, da Marcel, der blinde Gastgeber und Koch mit präzisen Anweisungen und Tipps und viel Humor durch den Abend führt. Er nimmt einem die Scheu und die Berührungsängste, da er zu Fragen ermuntert, die das Blind sein betreffen. Ohne Tabu beantwortet er jede Frage. Er möchte Barrieren abbauen und aufklären. Marcel hat eine offene und direkte Art und da er den ganzen Service selber macht (kocht und serviert), ist man gut beraten, seinen Anweisungen zu folgen. Es ist beeindruckend, wie sicher und schnell er sich in diesem absolut dunklen Raum bewegt. Ich wäre voller blauer Flecken und hätte sicher alles verschüttet 😉 Für uns war es ein beeindruckendes Erlebnis und wir sind sehr froh, dass wir uns darauf eingelassen haben. Wir können dieses außergewöhnliche Event nur empfehlen wenn man bereit ist, sich darauf einzulassen.

Es war ein schönes Erlebnis, das mal so zu erleben wenn man nix sehen kann. Eine Leistung was Sehbehinderte oder Blinde jeden Tag leisten müssen, um durch diese verrückte Welt zu kommen. Für uns war es ein schöner lustiger Abend. Dankeschön dafür

Sehr Interessant, essen war lecker und Service war alles top

Wir hatten gestern einen sehr schönen Abend. Insgesamt waren 6 Paare am Start Ja die Lokation ist nicht auf Hochglanz getrimmt, aber das ist ja auch überhaupt nicht im Fokus dieser Veranstaltung. Glaub die meisten Leute lesen nur Gänge Menü und denken an ein normales Restaurant Die 5 Gänge waren gut, das Essen ausreichend dimensioniert und durchaus gute Hausmannskost. Asia Nudelsalat Kürbissuppe Salat mit mediterranem gebäckgebem Gemüse im Brotteig Sxhweinelende, Rinderhackbraten mit Kartoffeln und Rosenkohl Lebkuchencreme Mit dem Hintergrund, dass fast alles alleine gemacht wurde und der Koch Blind ist, war das eine interessante Erfahrung 2 Stunden in kompletter Finsternis zu sitzen. Da war es auch egal wie das Restaurant aussieht. Man sieht ja eh nix Marcel hat die Gruppe gut unterhalten während er die Speisen serviert und Teller wieder eingesammelt hat. Insgesamt hat es ca 2 Stunden gedauert. Ja das Gebäude ist in die Jahre gekommen. Die Toilette war trotzdem sauber Kann das Restaurant Herrn empfehlen wir dieses Erlebnis mal machen will

Wir waren auch dort hatten unsere Erfahrungen gemacht ich habe mir hier die einen oder anderen Kommentare durchgelesen und muss diesen leider zustimmen. Es war extremst kalt dort wir wurden auch mit fremden Menschen an den Tisch gesetzt diese waren zum Glück nett... Vorspeise bei uns war kürbissuppe Gewürz mäßig hat dort alles gefehlt. Hauptgang waren 3 verschiende Fleisch Sorten die ersten beiden waren gut das Hähnchen/ Pute war trocken der rosenkohl war leider unserer meinung nach noch zu bissfest gekocht und die Kartoffeln waren leider trocken. Das dessert war ein Obstsalat mit einer Art " keks " und mit der one man Show stimmt schon der Besitzer/ Koch erzählt viel von sich und möchte das man permanent Fragen stellt um 19 Uhr ging es los und um 20:30 waren wir schon draußen . Es war eine Erfahrung wert aber auch wir haben entschlossen diese location nicht mehr zu besuchen. Mehr Heizung und vielleicht noch 1-2 weitere Personen mit im Service wären denke ich förderlich.

Eine sehr tolle Erfahrung durften wir gestern Abend machen, durch Marcel (Restaurant/Koch) durften wir in das Leben eines Blinden Blicken und es für einen Abend miterleben! Auch das Essen war wirklich sehr schmackhaft! Danke an dieses tolle Team und wir empfehlen euch definitiv weiter! LG die Pfälzer😉

Preis-Leistung ist gut. Das Essen ist ok. Es geht alles flott. Marcel ist sehr offen und immer ansprechbar. Es war ein beeindruckender Abend.

Ich war nun schon zum zweiten Mal dort, diesmal mit meinen Kindern. Erneut war es spitze. Ein super Abend und ein ganz toller Gastgeber. Es hat super geschmeckt und wir sind alle zufrieden. Komme sicher mal wieder.

Wir ein interessantes Erlebnis. Ich bewundere wie man so etwas blind hinbekommt. Aber Qualität und Auswahl des Essens passt nicht zum Preis. Ambiente ist in die Jahre gekommen.
