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.

Amazing experience! Highly recommend. Sophia was our server. She was great at explaining how things worked. Also checked on us several times to make sure we were ok. The food was excellent. Big portions. I had the tuna appetizer & the slow cooked roast beef. Both were excellent. The room was complete darkness. You are unable to see anything. Sounded liked the place was busy & people were enjoying themselves. Would definitely visit again

Une expérience unique qu'il faut vivre. Découvrir son repas au travers des autres sens que la vue.... C'est déroutant de se retrouver livré à sois même dans un univers dont on ne maîtrise rien mais où il faut se laisser guider.
Merci à notre serveuse du soir Sophia.

Dès notre arrivée au restaurant, nous n'avons pas été accueilli de manière très « accueillante ». Nous avons demandé les menus surprises variés pour mon conjoint & moi, & nous recevions toujours le même plat (peut être un manque de communication au début). Les cocktails n'étaient pas très bons & les repas chauds étaient souvent froids. Il y a malheureusement eu des gens qui avaient amenés leur téléphone & l'allumaient sans cesse dans la pièce noire, ce qui a gâché notre expérience à un certain point. Le prix était très élevé pour la qualité des repas que nous avons reçu. C'est à faire une fois dans sa vie, mais sans plus. Bon concept & chapeau aux serveurs. Merci

The food was excellent, the concept is great. It's very hard to get gendered correctly by the staff, even though we asked a couple times not to get called Mr or Mrs.

Super expérience !! J'étais prise de panique au début par la noirceur, je n'avais pas de repère, mais j'ai fini par me calmer. Ça m'a permis un instant de me mettre dans la peau des non voyants & de comprendre leur réalité. La nourriture était super bonne( nourriture que j'ai mangé avec mes doigts, pas de chichi hahaha) , les cocktails aussi. Le temps d'un moment j'ai complètement déconnectée du monde & j'étais dans le moment présent avec rien autour pour déranger. Le personnel a l'accueil très gentil . Mais mon coup de coeur était mon serveur. SAMI ! Il est super gentil, drôle, chaleureux & un bon vivant. Si je retourne j'aimerais bien le ravoir.
