About

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 offers a truly unique and memorable dining experience where guests enjoy high-quality meals in complete darkness. This sensory-focused environment is managed by a professional, visually impaired staff who provide exceptional and attentive service throughout the evening. Many visitors appreciate the surprise menu options, which add a fun, interactive element to the meal and encourage guests to fully engage their sense of taste and texture. While the immersive nature of the dining room creates a profound and sometimes humbling perspective on the daily lives of those without sight, the atmosphere can occasionally become loud depending on other patrons. Overall, the combination of delicious food, professional hosting, and an unconventional setting makes this a highly recommended visit for anyone seeking something distinctive in the city.

I brought my mom here for Mother's Day & while she was pretty overwhelmed by the experience the service, food, & customer care was out of this world. When you enter, the front of house staff brief you with what you'll need to know before heading back to the dining room & take your order. Once being led back to your seat, the sensory experience really begins. As I mentioned, the food was incredible & portions large. Our waiter, Fay, was AMAZING & went above & beyond to make our dining experience excellent. While my mom ended up feeling a bit claustrophobic & overwhelmed by the sensory overload, we had a good experience overall & I would recommend O.Noir to others:

C'était une expérience inoubliable! Les serveurs Mazen & Dominic ont donné un service impeccable. L'hôte à l'entrée (homme aux cheveux noirs) nous a super bien accueilli & nous a bien expliqué le menu & les procédures. 170$ à deux pour 3 services (sans boisson, pourboire inclut) c'est un peu cher, mais c'est pour l'expérience. Seulement, c'était assez bruyant & il faisait très chaud... (La clim ne fonctionnait pas). Niveau nourriture, c'était super bon, les saveurs étaient présentes (les pétoncles, le boeuf & le mi-cuit) & les portions étaient généreuses!

This was an absolutely incredible experience! After working for almost 25 years with adults & children with different disabilities, it was amazing to experience first hand the realities that some people face. We are so lucky to have our vision. Gabriel & Fe made this an unforgettable evening. We both Loved our appetizer & dessert, & felt our mains were just ok in comparison (but still good). Highly recommend this restaurant!

All I can say is.. if you visit Montreal, you MUST eat here! Prior to our visit I did read some reviews & yes it is a bit chilly inside so make sure you're dressed warm enough so you can enjoy, thankfully I was prepared as I hate being cold. I have to say, it was a different but amazing meal experience. We both order four course meal each which I highly recommend. Our server Fey did a great job guiding us & serving us. Me & my husband had a great time there with unforgettable life changing experience. I'm glad my husband brought me here, smart choice he did!
