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.
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.
Enlightening sensory experience. Fantastic food. Ordered the duck pastry & the ravioli. Love that you can choose how many courses you want at a fixed price. Loved how they add the surprise options for meal &/or drink.
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.
This is a true blind eating experience. There is no light at all. You have to lock up any light emitting electronics in a locker with your coat & purse. You can choose your meal & drinks from the menu or you can select surprise food & drinks that do not appear on the menu. We decided to do the surprise options & the meals were fabulous. Everything was very flavorful & the portion sizes were perfect. My oldest son got the 3 courses so he got a surprise starter he thought was lamb on arugula but was actually shrimp on mescaline. His main course turned out to be roast beef not chicken. The boys' dessert was passion fruit & sponge cake not strawberry shortcake like they thought. My youngest son & I ended up with duck with a blueberry sauce which he guessed correctly & I had creme brule for dessert. The service was excellent & our table was mapped out exactly as our server described. It wasn't cheap-$300.00 with drinks, taxes & tip but it was an excellent experience. My youngest son had his misgivings about eating food he couldn't see but he really enjoyed it. It was nice to have a meal where the boys weren't staring at their phones but instead actually talking to me. Perhaps that alone was worth the price.
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
This place is amazing. Great concept/staff & the drinks. I appreciate the spice & carabian/Latin inspired drinks they have.
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 love this place so much - this was my 2nd time here, can't wait to come again. Ideally situated, amazing service, & the food & drinks were out of this world. I had the tuna appetizer, the gnocchi main course, & the green tea/white chocolate flavoured dessert with a bloody Caesar, chardonnay, B52 coffee, Strawberry Dream cocktail & courvoisier digestif. The only thing I would have done differently is ask for my Caesar to be extra spicy because this one was made for people with tamer palates than mine - it was still good & everything else was amazing.
The entire experience, from start to finish, was truly outstanding. We began by sitting at the bar with a drink & placed our order before entering the dark dining area. The bartender was excellent, taking the time to explain everything patiently. I had initially thought that eating in the dark might be challenging, but our server Sammy was with us every step of the way, making the experience incredibly smooth. The food was delicious, & overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

The experience was amazing. However, we went to Celebrate a birthday, & I made a note in the reservation & again with the hostess. We ended up being charged for the drink that was never delivered & felt like the front staff didn't care.
Mathew our server was amazing & I suggest everybody try this at least once.
Fantastic experience! We came with a large group so we had to split into two tables, but still ended up in the same room. For those wondering about the process - they sat us down at a lovely table outside to explain the menu & take our orders, & then had us go inside to use the restroom, put bags in lockers, & prepare for the dark room. When it was time to go in, our waiter Sammy came out to greet us, guided us through the two doors (you hold on to the shoulders of the person in front of you to make sure everyone gets through), & helped each of us find our seats. Sammy was a fantastic waiter, & regularly checked in to see if we needed anything, guided anyone that was uncomfortable or needed a break out of the room, & ensured we had food & drinks whenever we were ready for them. The timing was wonderful, just enough time to enjoy each course & talk to each other as we ate. When we left, a few of us wanted to go back in because it was so soothing to be in the dark. Overall this is a super unique experience that we won't forget, & well worth the cost (which is very affordable for such a great meal). I would absolutely come here again!
J'ai adorée mon expérience au restaurant Onoir! Notre serveur Mathieu était gentil & il nous mettait en confiance avec ses explications clairs puisqu'on voit littérallement rien durant tout le repas & même pour se rendre à notre table! La nourriture & les drinks sont également très bon. Je recommande
We had a fantastic experience! Everyone should eat here at least once in their life. It gave us a greater appreciation for our sight, & especially how it contributes to the food that we eat. Everyone there was pleasant & accommodating; we had several allergies which all staff took very seriously. The food & drinks were delicious. 10/10!
C'etait une expérience a faire une fois dans une vie ! Fé (le serveur) était attentionné & très professionnel. Le seul petit default sont les 2 drink que j'ai pris... c'était pas très bon. Pour le reste cétait parfais !
Wow belle expérience!! J'étais sceptique car on déguste avec les yeux mais c'est le but de l'expérience!! Tout était délicieux!!
Nous étions 6 pour l'anniversaire de mon fils 19 ans & le service exceptionnel & rapide !!
Notre serveur Fee lui a apporté un drink anniversaire & nous avons chanté le bonne fête!!
Merci Fee pour cette superbe soirée!!
Je recommande cette expérience!!!!
Absolutely amazing experience. We will be back next time we are in Montreal. We had the 3 course surprise & it was so fun trying to figure out together what we were eating & drinking. Nicholas was an amazing server who kept us laughing everytime he came by.
Loved our experience! It was so interesting being so vulnerable & present during this experience. I really enjoyed the dessert the food potions could have been greater but loved our service & the drinks were fabulous!
