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 food was delicious, the service was kind & generous, the ambiance was lively. Conversation with my friend during out meal felt like we were at a sleepover, trading thoughts & secrets in the intimate dark. Thank you for a beautiful experience!

As entradas estão muito gostosas, fiquei realmente impressionado, mas o prato principal a qualidade ficou muito baixo do que eu esperava, não só no meu prato principal mas no prato da minha companheira também. Tudo fois incrível só a comida não estava bo.
Excellent en général. Super bon service. 2 mini petits points à améliorer: il faisait assez froid dans la salle quand nous sommes arrivé. Mon père à reçu un café alcoolisé (très bon) pour sa fête, merci beaucoup, mais il était plutôt tiède? Je ne vois pas de café, mais j'y ai goûté & personnellement, je crois qu'il aurait dû être un peu plus chaud 😉. Merci beaucoup. Accueil & service vraiment super A1. 👌
C'était ma 3e visite O'Noir .. & c'est la 1er fois ou les gens parlais TELLEMENT FORT qu'on s'entendait même pas parler .. & notre voisin de table avais toujours son cellulaire... c'était vraiment vraiment désagréable !!! 😞 😓 😩 😤 très ordinaire même . . .. . . .. . . . .
The atmosphere, service & staff were absolutely amazing. The only negative thing that I have is the fact that there were 2 or 3 tables that were constantly yelling at each other & my wife & I couldn't hear each other.
Le service était excellent! Le seul problème que nous avons eu est que nous étions les premiers à entrer dans la salle à manger pour le service de 20h30 & la lumière était allumée... Ça a un peu gâché l'expérience. La nourriture était bien & le service excellent.
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!!!
