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.
Excellente expérience.ambiance super calme. Parfait pour un souper amoureux.....je recommande à tout mon entourage un grand merci pour l'expérience & chapeau au chaleureux personnel merci
Les gens dans la salle étaient beaucoup trop bruyants pour l'expérience. Ils n'étaient pas respectueux. Mais le service & la nourriture exceptionnelles

What a cool experience. The entire experience was fabulous! I wish there was something like this in Boston, MA. The food was flavorful & the menu provided a good variety of choices. I have celiacs & the staff made sure everything was safe for me to eat. A great gem in Montreal!
C'est une très belle expérience de manger complètement dans le noir. J'ai emmené mes deux garçons & nous avons vécu cette soirée avec beaucoup de satisfaction car la nourriture est très bonne & le service est excellent. Très bonne expérience à refaire.
Had the most amazing restaurant experience tonight. Sophia is an absolute gem! Truly a sensory overload, but in the most beautiful way. I would recommend this establishment to absolutely everyone who is open minded enough to attempt. I was brought here as a surprise, but what a magnificent wonder this was.

Le service était excellent, tous les employés (à l'extérieur & à l'intérieur) sont très sympathiques & dévoués à vous assurer une expérience formidable.
Food was very good however the whole experience was very disappointing since it was extremely noisy ( due to other parties enjoying themselves obviously without « visual barriers » & our senses were probably focusing on auditive stimuli) we left before the dessert. Even the waiter did not understand my husband when he asked for more wine & brought du pain. Definitively worth trying but avoid Fridays & Saturdays if you look for a more Zen atmosphere
L'homme qui nous a accueilli (je n'ai pas son nom malheureusement) était attentionné, nous a bien expliqué le menu & le déroulement de la soirée.
Fé, notre serveur, était exceptionnel.
Nous avons adoré l'expérience & n'avons que de bons mots pour le concept O Noir. BRAVO!
