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.

Review Summary

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.

Nous avons pris les 3 moktails celui à la goyave au goût ne peut être mis dans la catégorie moktails mais plutôt dans votre section jus. (Au goût c'était l'équivalent des boîtes à boire des enfants ). À côté des 2 autres que vous offrez le niveau de celui-ci est à relever. Nous avions commandé les 3 pour goûter. D'autant plus que la vue n'est pas sollicitée, augmentant l'expérience gustative. Ce commentaire se veut constructif. Nous avons adoré notre soirée.
Merciiii

Really enjoyable unique experience. Our waiter Mazin was so friendly & helpful, providing immaculate service.

The food was delicious & although we received the surprise option for all of our meals we still enjoyed all dishes that were served.

Overall a wonderful way to spend the evening, & it offers a new perspective on life without one of your senses!

Amazing experience. Really forces you to use your other senses. Also the food was amazing, despite being quite expensive. Something everyone should experience at least once.

Fé, our server, was amazing. He was very polite & he properly guided us. I got the Tarte Fine au Topinambours Gratinées (entrée), Jarret d'agneau (plat principal), & Matcha-White Chocolate (dessert). They were all amazing! Very tasty & perfect portions. I do suggest everyone to book the earliest time possible. We reserved for 6pm (Wednesday evening) & at that time there were only us & another table. But after an hour, more people came & the vibe is different. You smell their perfume stronger & you get "irritated". Someone also decided to bring their phone with them which ruined the experience cause you'd see light. Other than that, book early. You might feel anxious first not seeing anything but eventually you start to appreciate it. Also, if I were to change one thing. Probably their sound system. Les haut-parleurs se semblent saturés.
