(Hombre de Palo, 7 7 in Toledo, Spain)

Located in Toledo, one of the most emblematic cities of Spain, part of the World Heritage and the ca...pital of the Holy Roman Empire of Carlos V. Our restaurant is located in a Jewish house from the 14th-15th century, close to the Primada Cathedral of Toledo, in the old quarter known as Judería Mayor, where Jewish families of that time chose to live. Our restaurant was opened in 1979 by our parents, Adolfo and Julita. These days we carry on the work they started. The restaurant has been extended several times to increase capacity. At the moment it has 4 dining rooms with a capacity of 80 covers: The Veronica Room, The Hombre de Palo Room, The Granada Room and the Main Room. The last room features art in the New-Mudejar style that dates from the same time as the house. This art was discovered by our parents while they were renovating, concealed behind a roof of plaster and reed. The roof served to protect the art over the centuries and keep it in perfect condition. The art is registered by the Toledo School of Surveyors as one of the finest preserved pieces in the city. Our restaurant also has a large wine cellar, located in the Jewish caves that date back to the 9th century. Here, we have 44,000 bottles of wine from 1,850 different references. This cellar serves to complement the cuisine, which is based on top-quality fresh produce from the region. We add very little to these products, in the belief that their own natural flavours should not be disguised. We also place special emphasis on regional products and game, giving them the treatment that their flavours are worthy of. The saffron, cheese, honey, garlic and other products from Castilla-La Mancha become essential ingredients in our cooking, which focuses heavily on olive oil. Sample Wine selection: number of wines on the chart: 1850 white wine (house): Pago del Ama Chardonay 2001 red wine (house): Marqués de Griñon Dominio de Valdepusa Cabernet Sauvignon 1996 special white wine: Pago del Ama Colección 2002.

(51, rue Quincanmpoix in Paris, France)

Nothing can prepare you for the uniqueness of "Dans Le Noir?" It works like this; you meet in the ta...ll-ceilinged entrance bar, put your phones and anything else that might emit light in a locker, then order from a short choice of rather fine French/international dishes. Or go for the "surprise" menu where you don't know what you'll get. Then you're led through three sets of black drapes and to your table. You can't see a thing. Nothing. Leaving you to rely wholly on the remaining four senses, and the blind waiter or waitress assigned to you. You've never tasted food like this before, that's for sure.And because you can't see who's next to you, everyday judgments and fears are removed and chatting to your neighbours becomes irresistible.An unforgettable experience that everyone should try.
