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 offers a truly unique and memorable dining experience where guests enjoy high-quality meals in complete darkness. This sensory-focused environment is managed by a professional, visually impaired staff who provide exceptional and attentive service throughout the evening. Many visitors appreciate the surprise menu options, which add a fun, interactive element to the meal and encourage guests to fully engage their sense of taste and texture. While the immersive nature of the dining room creates a profound and sometimes humbling perspective on the daily lives of those without sight, the atmosphere can occasionally become loud depending on other patrons. Overall, the combination of delicious food, professional hosting, and an unconventional setting makes this a highly recommended visit for anyone seeking something distinctive in the city.
De est un serveur extraordinaire ! Il nous a vraiment mis à l aise & ce tait un pur plaisir de partager un bout de sa vision de la vie à travers la noirceur du restaurant !
Je recommande cette expérience à tout le monde autour de moi !
Merci pour ce concept incroyable !
Bonjour,
C'était vraiment une expérience incroyable !
Toutefois si on devait donner quelques voies d'amélioration :
- le plat surprise était très salé
- apres coup on a pensé que les plats à la carte a vient l'air super élaboré, vous pourriez conseiller aux client de choisir le plat de leur partenaire comme ça on garde le côté deviner le plat, mais en ayant des plats plus attirant que les surprise 😃😃
It was an amazing experience, Sami the waiter was absolutely awesome, the food was so tasty, rich & smelled so good,very organized & balanced. We really had a wonderful time there.
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!
