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

Dining at O.Noir offers a unique and immersive experience that challenges the senses by having guests eat in complete darkness. Many visitors praise the high quality of the food and the fun, mysterious nature of the surprise menu options, which encourage diners to focus on flavors and textures. The service is consistently highlighted as a major strength, with many guests commending the professional, attentive, and kind nature of the waitstaff who are visually impaired. While the concept is widely considered a memorable bucket-list activity that fosters deep conversation and empathy, some visitors note that the atmosphere can become loud depending on other guests and that the total darkness may take some adjustment. Overall, it is highly recommended as a one-of-a-kind culinary adventure.

Overall it was a unique experience, giving us a whole new appreciation for our sight. We enjoyed our waiter Fe. It felt quite loud while dinning. We will return.

A unique experience. Pre-dinner martinis were perfectly prepared. My "surprise" dinner (salmon tartare & pork/couscous) was flavourful; my daughter's scallops & sea bass was also excellent. Our waiter, Fe, navigated the entire experience flawlessly (which you would expect since he's worked there for 17 years)!! The only (small) negative was the very loud table of people (6-8 or so?) who overlapped with half of our dinner seating as they made normal conversation difficult.

Fe was an awesome waiter, patient & understanding. The noise in the room from other customers was really too much, maybe larger groups of customers should be told to consider how their volume affects the atmosphere for others. (Although the noise level took away from the experience, it helped us understand how a visually impaired person may be impacted). Also a suggestion would be to have pictures of the meals for each table to send the registered email address. I would like to have visualized what I ate after. Over all we loved it & will encourage others to try it!! ❤️

Food was OK. The server was alone on a busy night so it was definetly long, ne prepare to take your time for this experience. Also. the whole thing would be so much better with some soft jazz playing rather then big pop music. Just a suggestion!

C'était super! Merci de l'expérience. Maintenant nous aimerions savoir comment était divisé votre salle restaurant, mystère pour nous à force que c'était noir. Merci encore!
