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.Noir offers a one of a kind dining experience in complete darkness, heightening the senses with attentive service, flavorful dishes and a surprise menu that adds playful mystery, making it a memorable choice for couples or groups, where conversation and discovery are part of the meal.
Expérience incroyable, originale & enrichissante! Le personnel est vraiment sympathique, le service est rapide & la nourriture est excellente. La salle est complètement noire, c'est vraiment bien fait & pensé! Je recommande à tout le monde d'y aller une fois dans une vie!
Nous avons reçu un accueil des plus chaleureux !! La prise en charge est top, l'organisation du service avec la commande en amont & la prise en charge par notre serveur non-voyant Samy est vraiment top !!
Samy est une personne d'une extrême gentillesse, disponible & nous accompagne tout au long de notre repas.
Les plats sont d'une très bonne qualité & en quantité.
Une équipe au top, un repas au top & qui nous fait sortir de notre zone de confort.
Je recommande à toutes personnes de venir manger dans ce magnifique établissement car le concept & la qualité du repas est largement à la hauteur.
Un grand merci à Samy pour sa gentillesse & son accueil 😊😊.

Dinner at O Noir was the highlight of our 3-day trip to Montreal! We both elected for the surprise 3-course menu, as well as surprise drinks. We expected the novelty of the experience of dining in pitch black, though there were fun additional aspects we hadn't thought about. But we didn't really know what the quality of the food itself would be...which was absolutely AMAZING! & really well-tailored to the dine-in-the-dark experience. Highly recommended for any kind of special occasion.
C'est toute une expérience à chaque fois! Je le recommande fortement.
C'est BEAUCOUP mieux d'y aller à deux. Les groupes sont beaucoup trop bruyants, ça mine l'expérience des autres.
Super expérience qui sortait de ma zone de confort, j'ai adoré! Le personnel est aux petits oignons & explique très bien le concept pour que tout le monde se sente à
l'aise & la nourriture est très bonne, je recommande!
What an amazing experience!!! Would recommend everyone does this at least once. Even better when you get the' suprise' meal. Some of the best food I've had.
Our waiter Fay was amazing, h made our experience even better.
What an unforgettable experience! We went to O'Noir as a family & it was truly one of the most unique dining experiences we've ever had. Dining in complete darkness really heightens your senses & makes you appreciate food in a whole new way.
The staff were absolutely amazing, kind, professional & incredibly impressive. We were especially moved by the visually impaired team members who guided us with such confidence & care. The food was delicious, & the whole experience left a lasting impression on all of us. Highly recommend if you're looking for something different & meaningful.

It was a fascinating experience eating in total darkness. The food portions were pretty large & tasted good. Our server, Sammy, was very helpful & attentive. I highly recommend coming here at least once for the unique experience.
The food is surprisingly tasty. We ordered 4-course meal with hot & cold starters, a main & a dessert. Every dish is unique. The dishes are very sizeable. So by the time the main dish was served, although it was good indeed, I was so full that I could no longer enjoy it like I did with the starters. So if you are not really gourmand, I don't recommend a 4-course.
Our waiter Fay was friendly & professional. Everything was served perfectly & precisely.
The three stars for atmosphere was because a table of guests were making donkey sounds (literally) & laughing very loud throughout their dining time. I have no idea from where they got the hint of entering a zoo instead of a restaurant & started behaving like animals.
I absolutely loved the experience. Our waiter was very kind. The overall service was exceptional. The food was also delicious. I recommend the experience/restaurant to anyone.

It was amazing! Me & my boyfriend went for our anniversary & we are super glad we chose it. Not only was it an amazing experience but the food was super tasty. Our server was super attentive & caring with all our needs. Ali did amazingly. We recommend for everyone to do once in their lives!
Une expérience unique & authentique ! Ce restaurant nous plonge dans la peau des malvoyants le temps d'un repas, une vraie découverte sensorielle. L'équipe est chaleureuse & accueillante, on se sent tout de suite à l'aise. La musique est agréable, les plats sont délicieux, & l'ambiance est vraiment spéciale. Parfait pour une sortie qui sort de l'ordinaire ! Je recommande sans hésiter.
Went to O.Noir & my server was Fay. I throughly enjoyed my experience. Everything was delicious & tender. Would recommend trying this out at least once in your life. What a magical experience!!! I held hands with my lover & had a romantic evening. Such beautiful feelings blossomed from this experience. I will be returning often.
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 experience
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 experience
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!
