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.
Immersion totale dans le noir. L'expérience était tres agréable. La serveuse savait nous mettre en confiance. Cependant j'aurais apprécié des indices pour les choix surprises. Dans l'ensemble très plaisant
I loved the place, the service & actually everything! I took the surprise plate & it actually surprised me, it was really good. Our waiter, Sami, was very kind & attentive while our staying. It is a very beautiful & interesting experience.
Thank you! ❤️
Une expérience mémorable, notre serveur Mathieu a 14 ans d'expérience. Très ouvert & professionnel.
La nourriture n'était pas très chaude & le chauffage non plus, alors habillez-vous bien en hiver.
Les menus surprises sont une excellente idée, mais étaient moins variés que les tables d'hôte.
Nos 4 adolescents ont bien appréciés les savoirs experienciels! Ils ont aussi réfléchi aux activités si ils ne pourraient pas faire comme non-voyants... ou comment il faut être résilient.
The experience is extremely unique! If you're thinking "oh, how dark can the room actually be", you'll definetely be surprised. The service was AMAZING! better than most restaurants, our waiter Sammy was always checking in on us & making sure we were having a great experience. Super eye opening & the food was actually very good as well. I wouldnt recommend this place to people who have a lot of anxiety or who are picky eaters, but overall amazing time :)
It was my 16th birthday dinner. We were a party of 8. It was an amazing & incredible experience. My friends loved their surprise meal. Our server, Sammy, was awesome. He was polite, courteous & very thoughtful. It was just unfortunate that the table near us was very loud, rowdy & rude. We would definitely go back. Best birthday dinner yet!!!💜💛💚💜
The food was AMAZING , not expensive. The whole night was a surprise for us. We had to guess what our food was.
Its a very nice experience. The service was really good. Everyone was super nice
They change their menu every season so i will be coming back!👍🏻
Une super 1er expérience d'un repas dans le noir. Notre serveur (Phé) bien qu'il soit le seul serveur, il prends le temps avec chaque clients pour nous guidez dans notre expérience. Les plats surprise sont vraiment très copieux, s'il y avait une petite remarque à faire, c'est d'avoir eu le même poisson dans l'entrée & le plat surprise.

Service très courtois & professionnel. Très belle expérience vécu. Les repas étaient très succulent & de qualité. Les repas surprises furent très apprécié & ont suscité grandement notre curiosité. Un petit jeu de devinette nous a envahi tout au long du repas. Je recommande cette expérience peu ordinaire & très plaisante à vivre.
One of the best sensorial experience I had. Dining in a dark room was a ride that I very much enjoyed. The hostess & the waiter Sami were both warm, genuinely friendly & did the best to accommodate us. For your meal, you can choose to be surprised & you will be told what was your plate when you walk out of the restaurant. The food was delightful. My favourite was the profiteroles dessert. During summer, I recommend the mojito florito, a delicious & refreshing cocktail.
Superbe expérience ! Possibilité de choisir ses plats ou pas. Nous avons opté pour les plats « surprise » ! C'était très bon & le service excellent !
Passage obligé si vous êtes à Montréal.
Merci !

The atmosphere: For the bar itself, it has a very comfortable atmosphere. For the dinning dark room, there is no light totally! Everything is perfect.
The dishes: We tried the "surprise dishes", clients can choose 2 or 3 services. The price is very reasonable. After you decide the menu, you can enter the dark room to explore the darkness. The flavor of the dish is really good. I really recommend you to have a try.
Ps. All services are bilingual. The waiter/waitress will lead you into the darkroom.( you only need to put your hands on their shoulders) . After you seat youself, they will present you the locations of your knife & forks. If you have any questions during the dinner, you can just call their name. It's really a unique experience. That allows us to experience the life without visualization, however, other sense in the darkness will become very sensitive. If you don't have dark phobia & claustrophobia, It's really worth to go to this restaurant.
We really enjoyed our visit. The food was excellent & the service was top notch. We had never dined in the dark. We were fascinated as well as a bit challenged by the experience. It's not easy to eat in the complete dark when you usually rely on your vision so much. My partner went for all the surprise dishes; they were all excellent. Great experience!
Super service, Mathieu notre serveur était super gentil & il s'assurait toujours de notre bien être pendant l'expérience. Nourriture délicieuse, nous avions choisi le menu surprise & nous n'avons pas été déçu, c'était DÉLICIEUX! Une belle expérience!
Excellente expérience & nourriture délicieuse! Seul bémol: le plat surprise consistait principalement en de la viande de gibier. Délicieusement préparée, mais lourd & pas équilibré, surtout avec viande aussi en entrée.
On y retournera!
Belle expérience! Le staff est courtois & à l'écoute de nos besoins. Obscurité totale & plaisir garantie! Je vous recommence le menu surprise. Nous avons pris 3 services avec vin assorti & c'était très bon.
