About us

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 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.

Bonne bouffe, menu intéressant, carte des vins diversifiée. Nous nous attentions à une immersion totale dans le noir. Toutefois, selon l'emplacement de notre table & chaise, il était possible d'apercevoir des lueurs de lumières. Ceci dit, l'expérience vaut tout de même la peine d'être vécue.

Bonne expérience dans l'ensemble. C'est vraiment impressionnant & bien organisé. La nourriture était très bonne. Je recommande de prendre les options surprises pour une expérience encore plus déstabilisante. Seul point négatif, c'était TRÈS bruyant. Les gens criaient pratiquement & c'était difficile de s'entendre parler. Peut être que c'était seulement le cas pendant la soirée que j'y étais, mais j'y retournerais quand même.
