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 delivers a one of a kind dining adventure that heightens the senses with complete darkness, allowing flavors, textures, and aromas to take center stage. The experience is consistently described as immersive, thoughtful, and humbling, with attentive service from a team of staff who guide guests through the concept and explain the courses clearly. The menu options, especially the surprise courses, are frequently highlighted for their creativity and depth, and portions are described as satisfying with a mix of impressive appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Several reviews praise the friendly, professional servers who make guests feel at ease and excited to discover what is on the plate without seeing it. The atmosphere is often noted for its quiet focus and sensory engagement, though some nights are louder due to groups, which can detract from the immersion and occasionally lead to longer dining times. Overall, O.Noir is recognized as a memorable, must-try experience that blends education with gastronomy and gracious hospitality.
The only reason I've out 4 star for the ambiance was because of the noise of all the other peoples around us. It was kinda overwhelming at the beginning. But other than that, I LOVE the hole experience & I WILL recommend your restaurant to my freinds & family. Good job!
We had a great experience at here! Our waiters Matthew & Mazen where exceptional & would recommend the experience to friend. I got the fish, which was a bit disappointing, but others in my party got the beef which seemed much better! Overall a really nice time!
The entrance was cozy & welcoming with staff at the front helpful. Our waiter Matthieu was exceptional & helped us with all of our needs & last but not least the food & the ambiance were both wonderful.
Definitely recommend to everyone!!!
J'ai adoré mon expérience hier soir , malgré les quelques retard dû à des pannes de metro/trafic le personnel à su nous accommoder & être compréhensif avec nous. Le jeune homme à l'entrée du restaurant nous a bien accueillis & bien expliqué le concept en plus de nous avoir bien fait rire en prenant notre commande. Nous avions Samy comme serveur principal & Fée , nous avons reçu un excellent service, il s'assurait que tout le monde soit à l'aise & nous répétait constamment de l'appeler si nous avions besoin de quoi que ce soit.
La nourriture était délicieuse ( thumbs up pour les cuisiniers ) & les cocktails aussi!
L'ambiance était bonne aussi , je donne un 4 seulement parce que vu les circonstances nous avons tous tendance à parler plus fort & c'était très bruyant à toutes les tables. Mais c'est normal & nous avons passé une superbe soirée.
Aussi malheureusement certaines personnes de notre groupe ne sont pas bien sentis lors de l'entrée dans la salle & ont ressentis de la panique , Samy ne les a jamais fait sentir mal de ne pas être entré & s'est assuré que tout le monde soit correcte le temps du souper. Ils ont pu souper à l'extérieur de la salle & nos serveurs se sont assurés de nous rassurés sur "l'état" de nos amis & de voir qu'on soit bien. Un gros coup de coeur pour Samy, même si tous ont fait un super travail! Avant d'essayer l'expérience nous ne pouvons savoir comment nous allons réagir, mais certaines personnes anxieuses de notre groupe n'ont pas regrettées d'être rester assise dans la salle à souper & ont passé un super moment !
Je recommande fortement cette expérience !

I surprised my daughter for her 13th birthday & this was one of her favorite meals ever. The food was amazing despite not seeing any of it. Would definitely come back for the experience. I recommend ordering the surprise for even more sensory exploration.
Very, very cute wine bar with a cozy inside & a nice, spacious outdoor seating area. I was very pleasantly surprised at how tasty the cheeseburger was! Highly recommended.
Dommage que certaines personnes ne jouent pas le jeu jusqu'au bout. ( montre allumées, téléphone pour éclairer) sinon service superbe tant au bar que dans la salle. Je recommande
Amazing experience & delicious food! I had been about 10 years ago so I decided to bring my teenaged children this time. Wow - the food has improved dramatically. Everything we had was absolutely delicious! & our server was fast & efficient. It was a really fun night out. I would highly recommend it!

We enjoyed the experience that O.Noir offered & would recommend it to friends for that reason. The meal itself was average so that Is the reason I couldn't give it 5stars across the board.
