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.

Truly pitch black, such a unique experience! We ordered all surprises & when I didn't like my entree they even willingly swapped it for a new one which was unexpected & lovely. Excellent service!

A escolha dos pratos é feita em um "bar de entrada", enquanto você aguarda seu garçom. Todos os garçons sao deficientes visuais e te guiarao pelo salao onde absolutamente nao se consegue ver nada (o objetivo é esse mesmo). Há armários para guardar seus pertences. A comida é boa e vale o preço que se cobra. Você deveria visitar pelo menos uma vez na vida. Sugiro que vá sozinho, para tornar a experiência mais intensa. Visita em: nov/2012

À ma visite, il faisait extrêmement froid dans la salle à manger. Cela m'a empêché de profiter pleinement de mon expérience.

The quality of the appetizers (both surprise land & sea) were good, but the Surprise Land dish (Lamp, potatoes) left something to be desired. It felt too "obvious" compared to the Surprise Sea Dish (Seabass, Seaweed, Rice, etc). The surprise Sea dish left me truly surprised by texture & flavor, whereas we knew what the Land dish was almost immediately. Could have been more surprising/challenging for the senses.

The service was fantastic & Sophia was fun & helpful. The concept is also great.
