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.
It was an incredible experience. Our server Sophia, was amazing. Thanks so much for the wonderful experience & the delicious food. All of us thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
J'ai adoré cette nouvelle expérience sensorielle. J'ai trouvé que je communiquais davantage & mon sens du toucher était plus présent. Mon sens de l'ouïs aussi, c'était plus bruyant dans le restaurant. Toutefois, c'était génial comme expérience.
Dominique, le serveur est extraordinaire!
Super à l'écoute & prend le temps pour que nous soyons à l'aise !!
La nourriture aussi est très bonne. Rapport qualité-prix c'est très bien.
Warm welcome. Appreciated having locker to leave personal items. Great waitress...Sofia was soft, patient & communicated well. The only thing was sitting right in front of speaker...too loud. This interfered with other senses (hearing) i was hoping would be heightened by experience.
Bonjour,
Excellente experience ! Notre serveur Mathieu a été parfait !
Les deux points negatifs sont qu'il faisait chaud durant le souper ( ca donne l'impression d.etouffer car on est dans le noir) & que les gens parlaient tres fort, donc c.etait difficile de jaser avec nos amis.
Experience a refaire tout de meme.
Merci,
