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.

What an awesome experience this was! There's nothing like it anywhere in the World! The entire service is in the dark, & you really can't see anything! Every server working here is legally blind, & it's so impressive.

Our server Fe was such an all star all night. His story is so gut wrenching, but regardless, he was spirited, outgoing, & professional. The food was really good, & I highly recommend doing the "surprise" menu.

If you're looking to venture out & try something unique, then this is the place for you! The food, the atmosphere, & the outstanding customer service was just incredible! Two thumbs way up to Binky, Gabriel an our bartender Laryssa for being such amazing hosts!

L'expérience était vraiment agréable & le serveur Fe un amour. Nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir. Par contre, la barmaid à l'entrée très peu souriante & accueillante. Cela devrait être une priorité puisqu'il s'agit du premier contact. Les cocktails étaient plutôt bons.
Belle expérience entre amis.

The food was surprisingly good. The experience was unique. It was very noisy though which took away from the overall experience.

It was a very surreal experience, with so many disembodied voices in the dining room in utter darkness. It many ways it felt like some contemporary sound installation. The food was very rich & delictible, although I ended up eating most of it with fingers. It was also surprising the effect darkness has on time.

Highly reccommended
