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.

The experience was definitely Novel. Our waiter Sammy was INCREDIBLE & guided us seamlessly through the evening. His energy was absolutely excellent & made the whole experience. I found the quality of the surprise cocktails & the food overall to be a little sub par for what I would have expected, I did like the almond flavoured surprise cocktail though (almond + rum?) & the scallops were really really good. The dessert flan was however not good, for some reason I really didnt like it & I'm a huge fan of cardamom. I also god a surprise main & was kind of disapointed with my food, (it was duck but I thought it was chicken) I wish that there had been more ceativity & flavour into the food as because our visual senses were gone it was the main focus. Also, this is definitely extra, but I wish they had a live musician instead of just radio speaker music. I found the playlist to be distracting & made me feel a bit lost in the dark. If they had live harp, for instance, I think the element of something tangible & real for sound would really enhance everything. Definitely a very interesting experience though that I valued. But for a $90 bill I definitely wish the food was tastier.
