If Tinder-type dating applications are running at full speed these days, the evenings organized in good and due form to meet a soul mate are not losing momentum. The organizers even try to find original ideas to dust off good old speed dating.
At the restaurant… “In the dark?” !
The next martingale has a name: speed dating… in the dark. For the first time in Toulouse, this kind of evening will see the light of day in the restaurant of the Pullman hotel on the Jean Jaurès alleys. The place was not chosen by chance: it is indeed the restaurant “In the dark? », which opened in early October 2021, there’s a whole lot.
The concept is simple: the dark room is permanently monitored by infrared cameras and the servers and teams outside can also communicate using walkie-talkies. And to accompany gourmets on this culinary adventure, “Dans le Noir? » hired a team of visually impaired guides with the help of local associations.
With 20 women and 20 men
At the helm of this original evening (but practical for those who want to manage to fit in), we find the “unusual” event agency Bora Bora, creator of dreams”, created in 2021 and co-directed by Veronica Massana. 20 women and 20 men of different ages (between 35 and 55) and different profiles will be selected from prior registrations. She details the course of the evening:
“The participants will be seated in tables of two face-to-face, with an empty table between two tables. The men will face a first woman for the starter and will change partners for the main course and the dessert, competing two tables each time. Everyone will be able to chat with three people in the evening. The other originality is that the menu will also be mysterious since you will be eating in the dark, just like what the restaurant offers throughout the year”.
Return of the light after speed dating
All the senses will be awakened. “It will really be an experience of life and of oneself,” insists Veronica Massana. After 2h30 of speed dating, the light will return and the end of the evening will take place upstairs in the restaurant, with the possibility of debriefing the evening, meeting all the participants… and treating yourself one last chance heart and “match” ! “We want this event to be a success and to lead to the realization of meetings. If it is convincing, we are thinking about renewing this type of speed dating with the restaurant, ”concludes the organizer.
Evening limited to 40 people (20 women and 20 men).
