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.

Food is excellent, experience is great, BUT make sure you call & ensure there aren't any large parties, especially of school children, going on the same night. My friends & I visited on a night when a class came halfway through & it ruined the experience for us. They were very loud & it made it impossible for us to hear one another or appreciate the fine dining. It's unfortunate because I think the restaurant would be a great experience for children to be able to understand just a fraction of what blind people go through, but when a whole class goes, it is just chaos.

Very unusual experience. I wouldn't say the food was the best I've ever had (I had the seafood surprise), & one has to account for the environment when judging the service. I could have wished for our waiter to check on us just a little more frequently but otherwise he was very helpful navigating us through the experience. The rest of the staff was also very friendly & helpful. All that said, I encourage everyone to try this place at least once.

Une expérience sensorielle à découvrir absolument. Tout est très bien guidé. On découvre une nouvelle réalité dont nous ne sommes pas habitués. Cela prend quelques minutes pour adapter le cerveau, au début je ne me sentais pas à l'aise, surtout que j'avais commandé les plats surprises. Finalement, nous avons réussi a passer le cap & je ne regrette rien du tout. Les plats étaient goûteux, savoureux. Des aliments très originaux & pour tous les goûts. Je recommande si vous voulez vivre l'expérience!

The experience was beyond my expectations! The service people are very professional. The waiter's service was one of the best I've ever received. The ambiance is beautiful > love love the rustic look & details like the bolts sticking out of the thick slabs of worn wood. The process is very well organized. I would give a 3 on the main "surprise" dish because it was way too salty ( it left me wondering > don't the chef taste is before serving? ) . In all fairness, & in hindsight, I should have returned the dish & ordered something else.
