Food is one of life’s simple pleasures. In fact, George Bernard Shaw summed it up pretty well when he said “There is no sincerer love than the love of food.”
Since food is such a joy in and of itself, why not make it better by combining it with a private dining experience that you won’t forget? Private dining is a great way to enjoy a delicious meal and some special entertainment at the same time.
If you love this idea as much as we do, keep reading. We’ve put together six incredible private dining experiences that you won’t want to miss.
1. Dinner in the Dark
One dining trend that is taking the world by storm is dinner in the dark. These restaurants serve you a five-star meal while you dine in complete darkness!
The idea behind these experiences is that you get to really focus on the meal that you’re eating. By taking away the visual cues, your gastronomic senses get ramped up to the max.
Some restaurants will serve you your meal in a dark room while others will actually blindfold you. No matter which style of dining you select, however, this is an experience that you won’t forget.
2. Murder Mystery Dinner
If you love Sherlock Holmes you may want to try a murder mystery dinner experience. These experiences can either be in a private setting or in a group restaurant.
Either way, a murder mystery dinner is an experience you’ll love. At this type of dinner, actors will perform a mystery throughout the course of the meal.
You’ll have the duration of the meal to try to solve the mystery. Sometimes, there’s even a prize for correctly solving the mystery!
Murder mystery dinners are a great date night activity or the perfect option for a unique dining experience with friends. No matter who you enjoy this experience with, you’re sure to love it!
3. Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament
Have you always dreamed of being swept off your feet by a knight in shining armor? At the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament you just about can!
This unique dining experience allows you to feast on a three-course meal while you watch knights joust in a tournament ring. You’ll enjoy feeling as though you stepped back in time while at this dining experience.
Plus, if you choose to get seats in the private dining room, you’ll be able to enjoy an extra special meal. Who knows, maybe a knight will even throw you a rose!
4. Private Dinner Cruise
There are few things more romantic than watching the sunset with your lover. Except, perhaps, watching the sunset with your lover while you sip champagne and eat canapes!
When you book a yacht dinner cruise you and your partner are able to do just that. This unique experience allows you to sail to any destination in the world while you enjoy a delicious meal served to you by a private chef.
There are plenty of private companies that offer yacht dinner cruises. Whether you choose to celebrate a special occasion or simply want to try something new, this is an excellent option.
5. Lakeside Dining
If you want to experience a truly unique type of dining you’ll want to head to Cusco, Peru to try a traditional Inca Pachamanca. This type of meal is a ritual that celebrates food and life.
When you choose this dining experience, you and your chosen companions will head to a private lake about an hour outside of Cusco. There, highly trained chefs will recreate the ancient Inca tradition of cooking a meal underground.
To do so, they dig a hole in the earth and fill it with stacked stones. Then, they light a fire on top of the stones to warm them.
Next, they wrap potatoes, vegetables, meats, and cheese in banana leaves and layer them on top of the stones. Soil and damp sacks are placed on top of the food to keep it cooking in the ground.
An hour later the chefs remove the meal and serve it to you in your own private corner of the lake. The beautiful vistas and the food are both to die for!
6. Island Getaway
If you’ve always dreamed of experiencing life on a private island, a trip to the Riviera Nayarit is the way to go. Located in Mexico, you can enjoy a beautiful private island that allows you a glimpse into local surf culture.
On the beach, guests are led into private cabanas with ocean-inspired artwork. They’ll be able to eat their hearts out to fresh ceviche and other tasty seafood.
As you eat, you’ll enjoy listening to music by a DJ or sipping on delicious cocktails. Plus, the stunning vista will make your dining experience truly VIP.
Once you finish your meal you can treat yourself to a tequila and agave facial at the spa. Or, you can head to the terrace of the nearby 5-star hotel to watch the stars.
