À propos
Le concept fait déjà fureur en Europe, en Australie, à Los Angeles et à New York. Maintenant, O.NOIR, le tout premier restaurant au Canada qui vous invite à vivre l'expérience d'une bonne table et de conversations agréables comme jamais auparavant DANS LE NOIR! Il s’agit d’une expérience culinaire sensuelle entièrement unique! Lorsqu’on mange sans voir, nos autres sens s’intensifient pour savourer l’arôme et le goût de la nourriture. Dans l’obscurité, les aliments prennent une saveur culinaire exceptionnelle. O.NOIR va plus loin que seulement stimuler l’imagination et les sens. Après avoir passé quelques heures dans la noirceur totale (oui, vous avez bien lu… aucune lampe de poche, bougie, allumette ou montre lumineuse, aucun téléphone cellulaire ou briquet), les clients comprennent mieux ce que c’est que vivre avec la cécité, tout comme le personnel de service du restaurant. O.NOIR… C’EST MEILLEUR DANS L’OBSCURITÉ.

I had mixed feelings about my experience at O.Noir.
The service at the beginning was excellent, & the concept itself is very unique & interesting. Dining in complete darkness is truly an experience. However, once seated, the atmosphere changed significantly due to very large groups being extremely loud. There was yelling, constant laughter, & disruptive behavior, to the point where other guests were asking them to be quiet. One woman even took out her phone repeatedly to take pictures of her food, which completely broke the immersion.
I understand that when someone loses their sight, they may naturally compensate by speaking louder, but I strongly feel that guests should be reminded to keep their voices at a reasonable level. I also think limiting table sizes to no more than four people would greatly improve the experience-large groups really take away from the calm & immersive atmosphere. The noise became so overwhelming that we rushed through our meal just to leave, & I ended up with a migraine.
As for the food, it was mediocre overall. While it is impressive that the chefs are visually impaired, the execution could be improved. I ordered the beef (sirloin/flank), & it was very difficult to cut & chew in the dark. The pieces were too large, which made eating uncomfortable & even nauseating.
I would recommend doing the two-course option instead of the four-course meal. There is about a 30-minute wait between each course, which makes it a very long time to remain in complete darkness-especially when paired with excessive noise.
The concept is excellent, but the overall experience could be significantly improved with better crowd control, smaller group sizes, & clearer expectations for guest behavior.

An experience of a lifetime! Dark it is & you cannot see your hand in front of you face. Sophia our server was wonderful & food was delicious especially the surprise dessert. Your other senses will kick in especially hearing. It is not likely any louder than any other restaurant but you can hear conversations then as more people arrive it does become louder but it was not distracting to us as we enjoyed the smells & tastes of the food provided. I would highly recommend. Thank you Gabriel & Sophia for wonderful service!

An absolutely incredible experience! Dining in complete darkness was something unforgettable. The food was delicious, & I loved that there were the dishes a surprise ( & not listed on the menu) which made it even more exciting & mysterious. You're not only eating in the dark, but you also don't know what's on your plate! Really fun! I highly recommend choosing the surprise menu. Everyone should try a restaurant like this at least once in their life.

Sharing my experience:
PROS: the staff is very kind & I have so much respect for the visually impaired waiters that were very attentive. The food was delicious, I got the vegetarian surprise menu & was surprised with a richness of flavours & textures. The surprise drink was also very good & I loved it.
CONS: unfortunately my experience was completely ruined by the people who attended dinner at the same room, I was with a group of 30+ people & they were EXTREMELY loud to a point where the servers need to shout to find the right person to serve, it was so disrespectful & overwhelming that I had to leave before the end of the service as I could not take it anymore. Overall being confined in a dark room for 2 hours with 30+ people shouting was not at all a pleasant experience, & I do understand that this is not the restaurant's fault.
SUGGESTIONS: since we have to leave our stuff in the locker, I think having a key attached to a bracelet or something similar would be beneficial, I didn't have anywhere to place the little key & had to attach it to my necklace not to loose it in the dark.
Also for big groups, I think it would be good to organize them in a different way, for example assigning numbers to each person, that way the servers would know more easily who to serve & wouldn't need to shout, which I felt bad for them.
Another suggestion is to have some sort of button that we can press to call for the service, as I think we were left unattended for quite long, I wanted to leave the room way before I did but was waiting for assistance, then I just decided to leave on my own & find the exit in the total darkness.

What an incredible & unique experience! From the moment we walked in we were treated with exceptional service. From the hosts in the lounge to our amazing server, Dominic, the place knows how to make customers feel valued. The food was fantastic! Pick some surprise course, it adds a fun element & you won't be disappointed. Dining in complete darkness was surreal & a challenge, but it was such a fun experience. It also makes you feel so much empathy for those that are visually impaired. No pictures to add, but definitely check this place out.

This was not just a date night. This was a whole experience. Eating in complete darkness. I was really not sure what to expect & you probably can't prepare for this. Something you just have to do. Food was awesome even though we have no idea what we ate. Would definitely make a return trip.

Dinner at O Noir was the highlight of our 3-day trip to Montreal! We both elected for the surprise 3-course menu, as well as surprise drinks. We expected the novelty of the experience of dining in pitch black, though there were fun additional aspects we hadn't thought about. But we didn't really know what the quality of the food itself would be...which was absolutely AMAZING! & really well-tailored to the dine-in-the-dark experience. Highly recommended for any kind of special occasion.

Eating in the dark is fun with friends & strangers alike.

We went for dinner at O.Noir on June 29, 2025. From start to finish it was simply amazing. I was so nervous I would be claustrophobic due to being in total darkness, but after 5 minutes my nerves calmed & my other senses went into overdrive. Sophia (server) was incredible. The food & cocktails were also amazing. 11/10. This is a must do when visiting Montreal. PS: Don't be scared to eat with your hands, it makes the experience even better. Hehe
Alfredo
The staff were friendly, & our waiter was super nice & attentive. This being said, the food was ordinary, & this eating in absolute darkness is definitely not for me.

What an unforgettable experience! We went to O'Noir as a family & it was truly one of the most unique dining experiences we've ever had. Dining in complete darkness really heightens your senses & makes you appreciate food in a whole new way.
The staff were absolutely amazing, kind, professional & incredibly impressive. We were especially moved by the visually impaired team members who guided us with such confidence & care. The food was delicious, & the whole experience left a lasting impression on all of us. Highly recommend if you're looking for something different & meaningful.

It was a good experience, eating in total darkness hightens the other senses. Food was good but towards the end service got a bit long because the room was getting more full. Bit overall good experience
Hamza
It was a fascinating experience eating in total darkness. The food portions were pretty large & tasted good. Our server, Sammy, was very helpful & attentive. I highly recommend coming here at least once for the unique experience.
Nemo
Food was absolutely delicious!! The portions are great, it really fills you up & it tastes so good. The staff was great & the dining in the dark experience was amazing for me & my partner. Will go there again for sure one day!

O.Noir is an interesting place. It is completely shrouded in darkness to enhance the culinary experience. The servers are blind & ours (Sami,) was very talented, nothing was spilled or dropped & he was very friendly.
Ann-Sophie
Very nice staff & great food! I loved the experience & the gourmet meals. The only thing I would say is that the night we went was very busy so the dark room was loud & the wait time to get our food was long too. Other than that, I loved the experience!
Yue
Great experience dining in total darkness. The food is generous in portion & quite good. The servers are amazing. The dining room does get a bit loud if its crowded. Getting the surprise dishes is great fun!
Paul
Loved the experience! Fay was a fantastic host, the food was excellent, & the experience in the dark was unique & memorable. My only suggestion, & this has nothing to do with the restaurant, is to avoid going as a large group. The beginning of the meal was amazing as there were only a few quiet tables, but once some noisy larger groups showed up, it was harder to enjoy the experience.

A Unique Concept, But Not for Everyone O'Noir offers a great dining experience, but it may not suit everyone. Unfortunately, the experience didn't work out for me as I started feeling quite nauseous & dizzy in the complete darkness. Without visual cues to gauge distance or body position, my vertigo seemed to kick in. & even though I don't have claustrophobia, I began to feel a bit panicked & short of breath in the dark. The restaurant itself was quite warm, which didn't help my discomfort. While the food was good, I found it hard to enjoy while feeling unwell. One improvement would be for the restaurant to enforce its "no loud conversation" rule & perhaps lower or turn off the music. Our room was extremely loud; a nearby table was swearing, shouting, & even making fake vomiting sounds, which added to the stress. When I started feeling really sick & needed to leave, it also took a while for the waiter to return. One additional thing to note: the waitstaff touch shoulders & hair frequently when serving drinks, which felt a bit intrusive. A more comfortable approach might be to place the glass on the table & guide guests to it without contact. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but I definitely won't return. This experience may be best for those who aren't as sensitive to sensory overload.

Loved our experience, I had heard from other people in the past that the food wasn't good, but to be honest, it was genuinely delicious! The portions were big, we were stuffed by the end! & everything was amazing, the flavours & dishes were so good! The best part is picking everything as a surprise, that way you really get to enjoy the experience. I think the price was reasonable for the experience & the quality of the food. Definitely try the cocktails! Make sure you go with someone who you like talking to because it can get awkward in the dark for sure 😂
