@Aleksandrahoeye shares her take on the culinary experience.
As seen in the video above, each guest is escorted to an intimate table for one. A small window serves as the only point of contact with other people, where a courteous waiter delivers meticulously-prepared dishes with graceful precision.
What sets the “Silence Restaurant” apart is its strict adherence to silence. Conversation is replaced by simple signs, allowing diners to communicate their needs with minimal disruption to the peaceful ambiance.
The tranquil atmosphere allows for contemplation and is a haven for those who are introverted or even some people who had a tough day at work and would just prefer some alone time.
While this restaurant may be a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of life, it is still a long way away from ever hitting the shores of South Africa.
The effects of COVID-19 and social distancing has created a gap in the market for this type of dining. Regardless of the current state of affairs, one thing is certain, there is a beauty and appeal to stillness.
