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.
Spécialités

O.Noir propose une expérience culinaire unique et mémorable où les convives savourent des repas de grande qualité dans l'obscurité totale. Cet environnement axé sur les sens est géré par un personnel professionnel et non voyant qui assure un service exceptionnel et attentionné tout au long de la soirée. De nombreux clients apprécient les menus surprises, qui ajoutent une dimension ludique et interactive au repas tout en incitant à solliciter pleinement le goût et le toucher. Si la nature immersive de la salle à manger offre une perspective profonde et parfois touchante sur le quotidien des personnes vivant avec une déficience visuelle, l'ambiance sonore peut parfois être animée selon le comportement des autres convives. Dans l'ensemble, la combinaison d'une cuisine délicieuse, d'un accueil professionnel et d'un concept original fait de cet établissement une destination hautement recommandée pour quiconque recherche une expérience hors du commun.
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 😂
O M G. We went there for my sisters bday & it did not disappoint. (I do not recommend to do bday there unless within family). It is complete darkness, not even a little light. You cannot take anything with you that makes light (watch, phone) as it will ruin the experience for everyone there. The food was very good & our waiter was also very professional. Thank you Fey! Going there is not just for eating but to experience what people with limited vision feel like. It has opened my eyes about how they feel & see the world. Will go again for sure. P.S. : my little cousin of 7 years old panicked when entering the PITCH BLACK dining room ( you must prepare your kids & tell them that they won't see what they eat, drink, or see the person next or in front of them.) Also, It is very weird at the beginning but after 10-20min you get used to it. W restaurant, W idea, W people, W experience
Fantastic experience! Totally immersive in the blackness. Only recommendation is for fellow diners to be aware of how loud you are. It's an intimate experience in the dark , leave your kids at home. Would love to go again.
To start with, the service & the unique experience in itself are very enjoyable. I really like the concept of eating in the complete dark & the waiters were super nice. That being said, I would never go back for 2 main reasons. The first being that the tables are extremely close to one an other which makes the experience really less fun, I could strech my arm & touch the table right next to me, which means you have to hear their whole conversation throughout the night, as if they were sitting at your table. The second reason is the quality of the food for the price. 54$ for 2 service, I would expect a minimum of quality for my plates, which was far from the case. I ordered the surprice sea for appetizer & all I could taste was salad, croûton & sour cream. To this day, I think I might have had one tiny piece of the salmon they said it has, but definitely not worth anything. The worst was the main dish. I had the confit lamb shank. The gratin was the only good thing in that plate. The sauce tasted like premade or from a jar & extremely like water. I couldn't eat it & had to return the plate to change it for the ravioli which were better. I never had to return a plate in a restaurant in my whole life. My friend had the sirloin steak. She ordered medium rare & she had medium well close to well-done. The quality of the steak was again very poor & had a lot of fat on it, that left us with little to no meat. There's no depth in the dishes. Really lack of flavor & quality. I had been wanting to go for so long but ended up being extremely disappointed.
Incredible experience & delicious food. My husband & I both chose the three course meal & the surprise dishes - he chose sea & I chose complete surprise. The food was delicious, the distraction free setting & mysteriousness of eating in complete darkness was amazing. Our server was wonderful & we had fun guessing what our dishes were with him after the meal was finished.
We had an absolutely incredible experience at this restaurant! Dining in complete darkness is something I highly recommend for people to try. We ordered the surprise menu items including surprise mocktails. The flavours of the food & drinks were top notch & the portions were large & filling. Sammy our server, was friendly & did everything he could to make our experience wonderful! He gave clear directions & did everything he could to make us feel comfortable. It was an overall amazing experience & I can't wait to do it again!
Simply put: a life-changing experience. The perspective one can get from being deprived of one's senses & then having the other senses working more acutely on the situation at hand are humbling & amazing at the same time. Being able to focus more consciously on flavors & textures brings about what eating & drinking should be, not just a biological necessity but a sea of experiences waiting to be had. I invite whoever visits to take the time to listen to your surroundings & feel the table & utensils, understand this perspective without sight. Domenic was a wonderful server & made the transition into darkness as smooth as it could be. Each course was very filling but the time alloted to enjoy them was just perfect. A must to visit in the beautiful city of Montreal.
I had a blast experiencing the darkness in such an awesome way. The food was fantastic, & the service was top-notch. it got way too noisy once the room filled up, & we couldn't even hear each other at our table. Overall great experience & would do it again.
