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.
Très belle expérience culinaire nous permettant de mieux comprendre ce que vit un de nos proches ayant perdu la vue.
Personnel hyper sympathique, efficace & d'un grand calme.
On y retourne, sans aucun doute!
MERCI!
Accueil impeccable, service attentionné.
Définitivement, c'est mieux à deux. Sinon les gens ont tendance à monter le ton pour se faire comprendre & ça devient trop bruyant.
SUPER expérience!
Service & expérience remarquable/mémorable. Je donnerais un 3-4 étoiles pour la qualité des plats (manque de saveurs, bcp de riz "ordinaire" dans le plat principal pour ma conjointe & moi) mais le reste de l'expérience compense largement. Merci!
J'ai été absolument enchantée par mon expérience au restaurant O.Noir ! C'était ma quatrième visite, & je dois dire que le concept unique, la nourriture exquise & les cocktails délicieux ne cessent de me séduire. Je suis convaincue que ce serait une excellente idée pour eux de rejoindre Coffrets Prestige, car cela me permettrait d'offrir cette magnifique expérience à mes amis & ma famille !
Hier soir, j'ai eu le plaisir de faire découvrir ce bel endroit à ma famille proche, & je peux vous dire qu'ils ont été tout aussi emballés que moi. Une expérience à partager & à recommander sans hésitation ! Bravo à toute l'équipe d'O.Noir pour ce concept si singulier & pour la qualité de leur cuisine.
En somme, si vous cherchez à vivre un moment unique, je vous recommande vivement de vous rendre au restaurant O.Noir. Vous ne serez pas déçu, c'est une expérience inoubliable à partager avec vos proches. J'ai hâte d'y retourner !

We had a great experience thank you to everyone at ONoir. We had the surprise dishes & the food was great! Thank you to our waiter Mathieu who was very kind & helpful.
Our server was fantastic & the experience was definitely memorable. You check your devices at the door & you are in total darkness right after you place your order until you finish eating.
The reason for four stars is that the food was average & extremely pricey ($55 for two courses, which was a few bites of chicken, vegetables, & a small piece of dessert).
Super endroit. Très bien organisé & une expérience hors de l'ordinaire.
A partir de l'instant que tu arrive & que tu reçois les informations, a la serveuse (pour nous Sophia) & a ceux que tu payes la facture. Tous des gens très sympathique 🙂
This was my second time. Wonderful, creative, tasty food that excites the palate. Fantastic, attentive staff. Great experience to walk, even if only temporary, in someone else's shoes. Much respect! Would highly recommend!
Great experience for this blind dinner with surprises meal. Our waitress (Sofia) was really nice & really made the experience special for you. Only drawback is the noise in the room, several groups were laughing & talking very loudly which was quite annoying in the dark.
This was a fantastic sensory journey, & a very important environment to experience how our fellow humans live in the world. The human brain is fascinating, & what a way to explore your own perceptions! The food was also fantastic, I suggest challenging your palate as well & get the "surprise" options. Such a great experience, one that I will not forget anytime soon.
Excellente expérience ! Nourriture excellente remplie de saveurs, très bon service (on a adoré notre serveur Sammy!). Nous sommes allé un dimanche & c'était très tranquille dans le resto, nous avons adoré notre expérience ! À refaire sans hésiter!
