After almost three fantastic years, many challenges, an undisputed success, is it with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Dans le Noir ? Melbourne. Unfortunately, the international crisis and current economic situation no longer allows the project to be sustained in Melbourne.

To pay tribute to this unique and social restaurant, here are some key achievements :

⚫10,500 guests enjoyed this unique experience

⚫The project was awarded two times: Melbourne Awards Finalist 2018 & 2019
⚫The restaurant was one of the best in the city : Top #10 restaurants in Melbourne on Trip Advisor : Certificate of Excellence 2019, Travellers’ choice 2020
⚫Lots of press articles, learnings, progression, success, gratitude, beautiful encounters, laughters, shifts, sweat, adventures...
