Organise a unique team building in the dark in Lisbon

When companies think about team building activities, they often imagine classic options: workshops, escape games, or outdoor sports. But what if you could offer your team an experience that goes far beyond the ordinary? At Dans le Noir ? Lisboa, your colleagues will share a dinner in total darkness. This sensory adventure, located at the Sheraton Lisboa Hotel & Spa, offers a unique way to strengthen team bonds.

Since 2004, Dans le Noir ? has welcomed millions of guests worldwide. The Lisbon venue continues this concept, inviting you to disconnect from screens, forget your daily routine, and rediscover the power of genuine human connection.

Organising a team building in the dark is much more than booking a meal. Dining without sight challenges your colleagues to communicate better, trust each other and share a truly surprising moment.

In total darkness, everyone is equal. Job titles fade away, conversations flow freely, and connections strengthen naturally. This creates an atmosphere where collaboration, empathy and active listening are encouraged — exactly what modern HR and managers seek in an impactful corporate event.

One of the greatest assets for HR and event organisers is flexibility. At Dans le Noir ? Lisboa, menus adapt to all dietary restrictions, including allergies, intolerances and specific diets like vegan or vegetarian.

The experience includes two carefully designed menu options:

• The Sensory Journey: starter, main course and dessert for €55 per person.
• The Feast for the Senses: for €69 per person, with food and wine pairing for a complete sensory exploration.

The chef Valdir Ramos and his team work with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Guests don’t know what they will eat — which makes the tasting even more exciting. At the end of the dinner, lights are turned back on and the menu is revealed, sparking lively discussions and laughter.

Dans le Noir ? is more than just a restaurant — it’s also a committed employer. All our guides are blind or visually impaired. They welcome and accompany your team with warmth and professionalism.

This unusual team building highlights the talents of people with disabilities and promotes inclusion. For managers and HR teams, it’s an opportunity to share strong values with your staff and encourage an open-minded company culture.

By living for an evening without sight, colleagues experience the world differently, developing empathy and understanding that can inspire their daily work relationships.

An original team building in the dark also brings practical advantages:

• It fosters team cohesion and mutual trust.
• It boosts motivation by offering something out of the ordinary.
• It shows your company’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.
• It creates memories that strengthen the sense of belonging.

Whether you wish to reward your team, welcome new colleagues or simply gather everyone outside the office, this unique event makes an impression.

Dans le Noir ? Lisboa is ideally located at the Sheraton Lisboa Hotel & Spa, near the historic Baixa district and the city centre. The venue can accommodate small groups or larger corporate bookings. The team offers personalised support to adapt the evening to your expectations.

After dinner, you can continue your evening in the hotel’s elegant bar area — perfect to extend discussions and networking in a warm atmosphere.

If you are an HR manager, event planner or company owner, don’t wait to organise an unforgettable corporate event in Lisbon. To offer this original team building, simply book online or contact the restaurant directly to define the best format for your group.
