Would you go out to dinner in the buff?

A restaurant that allows guests to dine naked is set to open in London, and there is a waiting list of almost 9000 people who are keen to try it out.

The restaurant, called The Bunyadi, says on its target="_blank">website that diners can "revisit the beginning where everything was fresh, free and unadulterated from the trappings of modern life."

While the focus in on a natural experience with fresh ingredients, and no artificial flavours or chemicals, this takes the au naturel concept to a whole new level.

The restaurant will contain two separate sections, one for naked diners, which the restaurant refers to as "pure", and the other for those who prefer to keep their kit on.

As far as the food, guests can expect wood-flame grilled meals served on handmade clay crockery, along with edible cutlery.

As part of the natural theme, the space will feature a canopy of candle lights, creatively partitioned with bamboo and wicker, although there is no mention as to whether the staff will be nude as well.

"The idea is to experience true liberation," founder Seb Lyall told the IBTimes

"We have worked very hard to design a space where everything patrons interact with is bare and naked. The use of natural bamboo partitions and candlelight has enabled to us to make the restaurant discreet, whilst adhering to the ethos behind it."

We wonder what the original 'naked chef', Jamie Oliver, makes of all this.
