About us
Already the rage in Europe, Australia, L.A. and New York, O.NOIR is Canada’s first-ever restaurant that invites you to experience food, drink and conversation like never before IN THE DARK! It’s a sensual dining experience like no other. When you eat without your sight, your remaining senses are heightened to savour the smell and taste of food. O.NOIR does more than just fire the imagination and stimulate the senses. After a few hours in complete darkness (that’s right, no flashlights, matches, cell phones, cigarette lighters or luminous watches), customers gain a better understanding of what it’s like to be blind just like the restaurants’ entire wait staff. O.NOIR – IT’S BETTER IN THE DARK.

O M G. We went there for my sisters bday & it did not disappoint. (I do not recommend to do bday there unless within family). It is complete darkness, not even a little light. You cannot take anything with you that makes light (watch, phone) as it will ruin the experience for everyone there. The food was very good & our waiter was also very professional. Thank you Fey! Going there is not just for eating but to experience what people with limited vision feel like. It has opened my eyes about how they feel & see the world. Will go again for sure. P.S. : my little cousin of 7 years old panicked when entering the PITCH BLACK dining room ( you must prepare your kids & tell them that they won't see what they eat, drink, or see the person next or in front of them.) Also, It is very weird at the beginning but after 10-20min you get used to it. W restaurant, W idea, W people, W experienceView more

Very nice concept & experience. Got the full surprise menu, & it's really interesting to taste the food without seeing what you're eating & trying to guess what you got. Definitely recommend for the experience. Only negative is the main course felt a bit overcooked & the cocktail was ok for the prices. That said, still an overall positive experienceView more

This has to be experienced to be appreciated. Our apprehensions about being able to navigate the evening faded quickly as our waiter Sammy led us to our table. We chose the surprise omnivore menu, wine, & cocktail & trying to identify the food added to the experience. This was a great date night & there was no shortage of conversation & no screens to distract us. Loved it.View more

Fantastic experience! Totally immersive in the blackness. Only recommendation is for fellow diners to be aware of how loud you are. It's an intimate experience in the dark , leave your kids at home. Would love to go again.View more

To start with, the service & the unique experience in itself are very enjoyable. I really like the concept of eating in the complete dark & the waiters were super nice. That being said, I would never go back for 2 main reasons. The first being that the tables are extremely close to one an other which makes the experience really less fun, I could strech my arm & touch the table right next to me, which means you have to hear their whole conversation throughout the night, as if they were sitting at your table. The second reason is the quality of the food for the price. 54$ for 2 service, I would expect a minimum of quality for my plates, which was far from the case. I ordered the surprice sea for appetizer & all I could taste was salad, croûton & sour cream. To this day, I think I might have had one tiny piece of the salmon they said it has, but definitely not worth anything. The worst was the main dish. I had the confit lamb shank. The gratin was the only good thing in that plate. The sauce tasted like premade or from a jar & extremely like water. I couldn't eat it & had to return the plate to change it for the ravioli which were better. I never had to return a plate in a restaurant in my whole life. My friend had the sirloin steak. She ordered medium rare & she had medium well close to well-done. The quality of the steak was again very poor & had a lot of fat on it, that left us with little to no meat. There's no depth in the dishes. Really lack of flavor & quality. I had been wanting to go for so long but ended up being extremely disappointed.View more

Incredible experience & delicious food. My husband & I both chose the three course meal & the surprise dishes - he chose sea & I chose complete surprise. The food was delicious, the distraction free setting & mysteriousness of eating in complete darkness was amazing. Our server was wonderful & we had fun guessing what our dishes were with him after the meal was finished.View more

I had the surprise sea starter, surprise land main, same surprise dessert. 3 friends had some same or opposite orders, food was delicious & it was fun guessing what we were eating, some people with the same surprise theme still got different dishes. I would go again! next time I'd pick my own dessert though 😜View more

We had an absolutely incredible experience at this restaurant! Dining in complete darkness is something I highly recommend for people to try. We ordered the surprise menu items including surprise mocktails. The flavours of the food & drinks were top notch & the portions were large & filling. Sammy our server, was friendly & did everything he could to make our experience wonderful! He gave clear directions & did everything he could to make us feel comfortable. It was an overall amazing experience & I can't wait to do it again!View more

Superbe expérience! J'avais déjà fait un restaurant dans le noir à Paris & l'expérience était toute aussi belle! La nourriture était à tomber par terre, j'avais pris pétoncles & contre filet c'était top top! Les prix sont plus que raisonnables. Petit bémol sur l'attente au départ, on a attendu 30mn pour rentrer dans la salle, & on a vu des gens arrivés après nous être placés avant nous... mais ça a vite était éclipsé par l'ambiance vraiment marrante! À faire avec des amis c'est vraiment drôleView more
