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.
Une expérience unique, étonnante & fabuleuse !
L'immersion totale dans le noir était surprenante & les plats pleins de saveurs. Nous avons passé un moment agréable & Sophia notre serveuse était parfaite ! Un grand Merci à l'équipe :)
Une prise en charge de l'arrivée à la sortie du restaurant. Une expérience inédite qui vaut la peine d'être vécue en couple, entre amis ou même en groupe. Des rires à la découverte, c'est un moment vraiment unique. Le rapport qualité/prix est juste incroyable, les plats sont recherchés & qualitatifs & bien servis.
Une équipe agréable & à l'écoute !

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 :)
L'expérience est vraiment unique & agréable en soit. J'ai seulement été déçu par le repas. L'option sans gluten est assez restreinte & les plats n'étaient pas vraiment à la hauteur. Tout de même amusant.
Expérience unique en son genre ! Il ne faut pas y aller simplement pour la bouffe car tu ne sais pas d'avance ce qui te sera servi. Il se peut que vous n'aimiez pas ce qu'ils ont choisi mais dans l'ensemble c'est bon. À essayer au moins une fois dans sa vie. Un gros merci à Dominic notre serveur qui a été génial 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Excellente & unique expérience de manger dans le noir. Le personnel est agréable & à l'écoute. On avait pris le repas en 3 services & la nourriture est excellente, bravo au cuisinier pour ses inspirations! Les cocktails également. Les papilles sont exaltées & on savoure encore plus le repas en prenant le temps de découvrir les aliments. Je recommande!
Une expérience unique qui porte à réfléchir sur une toute autre réalité, soit celle de perdre le sens de la vie.
Les serveurs sont vraiment sympathiques & explique très bien le processus.
Recommandation x1000
Amazing & unique experience!! I loved the way our other senses are sharpened when we cannot rely on our vision - & that makes us appreciate more the texture & the smell of the food! Plus, that was the first time I was served by a blind waiter, Sally, which did his job with perfection.
The service was actually amazing, from the moment we stepped in to when we left the reataurant. They asked us for our food restrictions, were super attentive the whole time & the food was DELICIOUS!
I am definitely coming back - & taking every friend who visits Montreal to O NOIR.

This is a unique & savory experience. Of course it depends on the person what they make of things, but the setting of total darkness can facilitate the feeling of novelty that is abundant in childhood. The staff is friendly & resourceful, it's amazing how they can provide impeccable service in the dark. Truly a must visit in Montreal!
Une expérience unique, gastronomique, à vivre aussi avec des ados ( le mien était extatique) pour nous sortir de notre zone de confort & s'exposer à la réalité de la cécité trop souvent ignorée.
Ambiance super! Expérience unique, notre serveur Sammy était tellement sympathique! Nous l'avons adorer! Le repas était plus que délicieux!! Très déstabilisant au début mais Sammy a su nous rassurer!!! 10/10
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.
Very unique experience, worth the price. The complete darkness is slightly unsettling at first but once you adjust to it it's super cool & interesting. Definitely recommend!
