Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet

Dining at Ultraviolet is far from the standard restaurant experience. Diners meet at a set location on the night of their meal, are ushered to a secret dining room, and are then treated to a 20-course, multisensory culinary show. After fifteen years of planning, Paul Pairet, who is also the chef at Shanghai favorite Mr & Mrs Bund, opened Ultraviolet, an avant-garde food experience that placed third on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants in Asia list for 2016. Each night, ten lucky diners are served artful courses in a dark dining room, without windows or décor. Instead of views and furnishings, patrons are entertained by the interactive courses, which are served with projected images, music or fragrances matched to the pairings. Note: A meal can cost roughly $900 per person.
