A restaurant where people shed their clothes to dine in the nude has thrilled diners on its first service in London. The Bunyadi, set to open to the public on June 11, is London’s first nude restaurant, offering an entirely natural eating experience, free from the trappings of modern life. This includes phones, electric lights and even clothing. A 42-capacity venue, it currently has almost 44,000 people on its waiting list, but it’s only open for three months. The first diners at the undisclosed venue – invited as part of its ‘soft opening’ – have praised the food, ambiance and freedom as they shed their threads.
1. Nudity is legal in the UK as long as it doesn’t offend or shock anyone. Enter, the Bunyadi. Bunyadi, set to open in June, bills itself as ‘London’s naked restaurant’.
2. Safety comes first. So no cooking naked.
3. Staff uniforms cover only “bits and bobs”, lest customers feel uncomfortable sitting naked.
4. Gowns will serve as cushions so that customers are free from worrying about occupying a space that was earlier used by a naked butt that wasn’t theirs.
5. Nudity defined the menu with “no hot soup or broths”. For obvious reasons, of course!
6. Restaurant interior reflects ‘Pangea-like world’ where photos are banned. No phones allowed.
7. No body shaming. Staff recruits weren’t asked to strip during interviews and that’s saying something.
8. It already has a waiting list of 40,000- but will only be able to seat 3,000.
