<h3>Taste, textures and flavours were enhanced during a unique dining experience on Saturday night in the Brehon.</h3>
The team at Danú Restaurant at The Brehon hosted the Dine in the Dark event which meant customers are blindfolded.
It was part of a national campaign for the National Council for the Blind Ireland (NCBI) who provide a range of supports for clients. €10 from every meal will be donated to the sight loss charity.
“We challenged our customers to dine in the dark to raise vital awareness for the NCBI who support those who are affected by sight loss and their families,&#8221; Sinead McCarthy, General Manager at The Brehon, said.
&#8220;Our amazing guests on the night were treated to a wonderful dining experience when the taste, textures and flavours of our food tantalised their tastebuds.”
The NCBI is a charity particularly close to Sinead’s heart, as they supported her brother, Donnacha, and family when he lost his sight at 10 years of age.
&#8220;Without sight to guide our guests, they can experience complex tastes, flavours and textures in a completely new and innovative way. Senses are heightened, altering taste, touch, smell and communication during the meal. Sight loss affects one in six people in Ireland, this event brings people together to raise awareness, vital funds and of course to have fun.&#8221;
