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.

Everyone must try this restaurant at least once in their lifetime. It brought us all kinds of emotions (excited, anxious, surprised, sleepy..), made us communicate through all other senses, & the food was delicious. They made sure to respect our dietary preferences. We recommend taking at least one item as a surprise. Thank you to Sofia for her service.

Le service, l'ambiance ainsi que les plats sont très bons!
Le fait d'être plongé dans le noir reste une expérience particulière, oppressante pour ma part. J'ai essayé 😉

Very nice experience, I left this restaurant with admiration for blind people, even more for the waiters that offered an awesome service in the complete darkness !! We decided to get the surprise for all courses & do not regret at all, not knowing what you are eating, & trying to figure it out is the best part if you ask me ! I would strongly recommend !

This was an amazing experience. The service was some of the best I've ever had. The food was fine, nothing special. I thought the dishes were unique but execution was not quite there. For example my gnocchi was quite overcooked.

Food,service & overall experience was great.
Unfortunately, a table of people next to us were VERY loud.
Also, the door slamming was not pleasant.
