Storytelling
Blind Tasting
A unique performance in which theatre,
music, food and drinks blend together
PEQO
The very first Storytelling Blind Tasting is born!
In this performance you join us in Restaurant Rotonde, one of the leading restaurants in Rotterdam at the moment. Here, you sit at the table and listen to a live narrated story that takes you to another world. We blindfold you; remove the visual experience, enhancing all other senses. With a story full of clever physical effects, remarkable scents, background sounds and especially beautiful live music and singing, our storyteller ensures that you are briefly immersed in a different reality. Meanwhile, we come to you with our most special and extensive tasting menu, completely in line with the story.

About us
PEQO was founded in 2021 as an experiment by Quint and Pepe, two friends who combined their passion for culinary ingenuity and cabaret to give people a new experience. What started as their housemates blindfolded tasting snacks with some sketches in between, grew into a full sensory performance with a continuous story supported by an ensemble of musicians and physical effects operators.
FAQ
The performance is made for adults of all ages.
Definitely! When making a reservation, you can indicate if there are people with allergies or dietary restrictions.
Restaurant Rotonde only makes the location available. Everything else is taken care of by PEQO; both the performance, the staff and the menu. Questions about reservations or the performance should therefore be addressed directly to PEQO (peqoshow@gmail.com). Restaurant Rotonde has nothing to do with this.
Sorry to hear you can’t come. A refund is possible up to 24 hours after purchase. Tickets can be moved to a future performance up to 7 days before the performance.
Before and during the performance there are various eating and drinking moments. However, these are rather tastings. For some visitors this can be considered as filling enough, but we do not see this as a substitute for a complete (dinner) meal.
