About us

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 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.

What an awesome experience! You can choose your meal before you eat but to me that defeats the whole purpose. We did the chef's choice. Everything was very well explained beforehand & clear instructions. Man it's a trip coming out of that room after being in the dark for so long. The whole dining room joined in in singing happy birthday to someone & it was cool because people don't normally do that because I guess we get embarrassed easily even as adult. I don't want to be rude because I really did like it but the food wasn't 5-star. It's still not as bad as some people say though.

Expérience unique & incroyable. Merci beaucoup au très gentil & serviable Samy pour nous avoir accompagnés. La cuisine est excellente même quand on ne sait pas tout de suite ce qu'il y a dans l'assiette !

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!

A great culinary experience. As Thai food goes, they would rank among the best in the city. Great variety of dishes, (& spice levels). SERVICE was great. The food came out fast. & the ambiance is very pleasing. You can make reservations, which I would recommend. We really enjoyed it & we'll go back.

The burgers here are absolutely delicious, it has bacon & caramelized onions. It was cooked perfectly & was incredibly satisfying. It also comes with a side of fries, & I paired it with the hibiscus lemonade, which was refreshing.

The only downside is that the burger seems to be about half the size it was the last time I visited, around a year & a half ago. Even so, the quality & flavor are still excellent.

Overall, it's a great meal, & I'll definitely be coming back.
