Bunyadi, casting off its frock in South London this week, will operate without electricity or gas, and will serve food on Flintstone-esque handmade clay plates with edible cutlery.
The theme of the restaurant is, unsurprisingly, nakedness and purity. As such, customers will be offered a choice of vegan or non-vegan dishes, which they can wash down with organic, preservative-free wine.
If the idea of stripping off for dinner doesn’t appeal, the restaurant’s interior uses natural bamboo partitions between dining groups.
As London’s latest pop-up restaurant, Bunyadi will add a novel perk to the capital’s already well-endowed gastronomic scene.
While the edible cutlery and wood grill may draw some curious custom, the biggest novelty by far will be all the bare flesh.
Restaurant founder Seb Lyall said test groups responded well to the experience.
“They felt like it was more of a social experiment than a restaurant.
“When they were in that dining area, they weren’t bothered about the physical aspects of other people, it just became normal, it was just whatever.”
On arriving at the restaurant, guests are taken to a private room where they can change into a gown, which they can wear or remove during the meal.
