Bunyadi, if the name of this pop up restaurant has yet to reach your ears I’m sure you’re in for a big surprise. It will open this coming June and will only be open for about 3 months, the location is undisclosed, aside from it will be in London but the website is up with a few details, yet this little idea has garnered quite a bit of interest. As usual, a temporary restaurant isn’t much news, but what really sets it apart is the fact that this restaurant will be a completely naked experience. And when I mean naked, I mean naked!

This restaurant will have two sections, one area will be clothed and the other will be naked or as they call it “pure.” While the two sections will have quite some cuisine in it, I am sure you want to know more about the naked section so let’s get into that.

The pure section will have waiters who will also be bare, but do not be shy, all diners will be as well. To make sure that the sanctity of the place be kept to diners and service crew only, all electronics must be checked in the doorway. The idea is to keep it as simple as possible, and this does not only extend to clothing.

The menu for the Bunyadi will have non-vegan and vegan menus that will be cooked on wood fire only, served on handmade cutlery and plates, there is even some news that it will serve a raw vegan diet which is just astounding. The idea is to take people back to when things were simpler, unadulterated and quite frankly more free, as stated on the press release they placed on their website. As you may or may not know I am a powerful advocate of the vegan lifestyle and the raw vegan is considered extreme by a lot of people but the consumption of raw food in the nude has never been quite hand-in-hand.

The Bunyadi invites people to experience the sheer nakedness of simplicity dining and the enjoyment of it as well, while being naked is not a compulsory need, the option is indeed very catchy I’d imagine. Seeing as of today they have over 38,000 potential diners who have listed themselves on the waiting list for tickets, I’d say it is beyond catchy. The only problem is, the Bunyadi is set to have only a 42 seating capacity so a lot of people are set up not to be able to experience it in this upcoming 3 month opening.

Bunyadi is a project of the Lollipop collective, a group dedicated to thinking up of unique events or experiences for a discerning community and quite frankly the Bunyadi seems to be living up to the experience. I can confidently say that it has caught the attention of quite a few diners in the UK and quite frankly if I was in the area I would sign up on the ticket line as well.
