46,000 people book to eat naked at London’s first ‘natural’ restaurant (Photos)

Mail Online journalists Emily Hodgkin, 24, and James Dunn, 31, visited Bunyadi in south east London for the high-concept restaurant's opening night

The Bunyadi restaurant, London’s first and only naked restaurant, on Saturday opened its doors to its first customers.

Prior to the opening, the restaurant boasted of a waiting list of 46,000 customers.

Since the restaurant was announced in April, 46,000 people have applied for tickets, which cost £69 each, but The Bunyadi only fits 42 people at a time.

It’s a place to “experience true liberation,” Seb Lyall, the restaurant creator and founder of the pop-up company Lollipop, said in a press release.

Diners feast on five totally natural courses and the food is made with raw ingredients and cooked naturally, Even the cutlery is edible.

The five-course menu costs about $100 without drinks but including the gown and slippers. All of the diners are given a white robe to wear in the bar area and when they are shown into the restaurant, they can choose if they want to take it off or not.

Upon arrival, you are given a set of rules which forbid the use of phones. There is also a no-photography policy in the restaurant and smoking is only allowed when you are in your own clothes. Once you are robed or in the dining area, leaving the building to smoke is not allowed.

The experience lasts for 1 hour 45 minutes.

Emily asked thew friendly waitress if she felt strange working with no top on, but she says it is not awkward and helps other guest relax too

Emily said she felt more naked not having my phone permanently strapped to her hip than being undressed

The first rule of Bunyadi states: 'No indecency or nuisance or any sexual activity of any kind is allowed. Guests who don't follow this rule will be escorted out immediately'
