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 centered around eating in complete darkness, which allows guests to engage their senses of taste, smell, and touch in a brand new way. Many diners appreciate the opportunity to step out of their comfort zones, noting that the surprise menu options add an exciting layer of discovery to the meal. The service is consistently highlighted as exceptional, with professional and attentive staff members who guide patrons through the immersive environment with kindness and skill. While the majority of guests describe their visit as a one-of-a-kind highlight, some visitors mention that the atmosphere can occasionally be affected by the noise levels of larger groups or the challenge of navigating the dark space, suggesting that smaller parties or quieter times might enhance the overall tranquility of the evening.

Simply put: a life-changing experience. The perspective one can get from being deprived of one's senses & then having the other senses working more acutely on the situation at hand are humbling & amazing at the same time. Being able to focus more consciously on flavors & textures brings about what eating & drinking should be, not just a biological necessity but a sea of experiences waiting to be had. I invite whoever visits to take the time to listen to your surroundings & feel the table & utensils, understand this perspective without sight. Domenic was a wonderful server & made the transition into darkness as smooth as it could be. Each course was very filling but the time alloted to enjoy them was just perfect. A must to visit in the beautiful city of Montreal.

L'ambiance était très bonne jusqu'à ce qu'un autre groupe d'invités s'installe, se met à crier, rire trop forts & à faire des commentaires déplacés. Je crois qu'il faudrait aviser les clients d'être respectueux afin de ne pas ruiner l'expérience des autres. La bouffe était bonne mais 4 étoiles données car le jarret d'agneau était un peu fade

Bien aimé mon expérience ! La nourriture était excellente , j'avais pris la macreuse de boeuf & que dire de notre serveur Dominic qui était super gentil & excellent service. Je croyais que ça parlerai fort vu les commentaire mais ça été tout le contraire aucunement bruyant (j'étais située au 2e). C'était la fête à une amie & elle a reçu un white russian sur glace qui à été très appréciée 😉

Our biggest fear was that it was going to feel like a tourist trap or gimmicky. It did not. The food was delicious, Fey was extremely helpful, & the experience was one to remember.

Très mauvaise expérience... Pour l'anniversaire de ma compagne, j'ai réservé une table pour 20h45 le samedi 6 avril & comment vous dire que je regrette amèrement mon choix. Ce qui devait être une expérience culinaire originale s'est très vite transformée en cauchemar. Une fois installé à notre table nous avions remarqué que la salle à manger était très bruyante & très vite les gens HURLAIENT (littéralement) de partout. Même en parlant très fort, on ne s'entendait pas parler... Je n'ai jamais été témoins d'un débit aussi fort même en pub lors d'un match. Un verre s'est brisé & la moitié de la salle s'est mise à hurler en tapant des mains & sur les tables... un vrai zoo... Je vous laisse imaginer l'angoisse que ça a été en étant plongé dans le noir complet pour la 1ère fois... Impossible de finir notre plat dans ces conditions qui a failli finir en crise d'angoisse, nous avons quitté la salle au 1e service... malgré tout ça le serveur Samy était très sympathique je mets 2 étoiles juste pour lui, l'expérience traumatisante qui a complètement gâché notre fin de soirée en méritait 0. J'ai notifié mon mécontentement au bar avant de payer & aucun commentaire ni geste commercial.

The selection of music was not my favorite but everything else was absolutely amazing.

I love this place so much - this was my 2nd time here, can't wait to come again. Ideally situated, amazing service, & the food & drinks were out of this world. I had the tuna appetizer, the gnocchi main course, & the green tea/white chocolate flavoured dessert with a bloody Caesar, chardonnay, B52 coffee, Strawberry Dream cocktail & courvoisier digestif. The only thing I would have done differently is ask for my Caesar to be extra spicy because this one was made for people with tamer palates than mine - it was still good & everything else was amazing.

Nous y sommes allés samedi le 09 Mars, un groupe de 12 personnes. Quelle belle expérience, bravo. Merci à notre serveur Sammy ! Une expérience à vivre au moins une fois dans sa vie 😁
