Here, customers eat in total darkness in order to experience what all blind people experience on a daily basis, just like the waiters who will take care of you during your meal. Beyond the innovative and socially responsible concept, the food is also there. The good food tastes even more intense; isn't it said that the loss of one sense exacerbates the others? Dishes, textures and smells come together in interesting combinations. Those who want to take the experience further can choose the surprise menu.

Located in Montreal, the Onoir restaurant invites you to enjoy a unique gastronomic experience: savoring a good meal in total darkness. You'll be welcomed into a mysterious yet exciting setting to experience what it's like to be blind. In fact, the waiters who will guide you through the evening are visually impaired. Without flashlights, candles or luminous watches, cell phones or lighters, you'll discover a new way to enjoy the flavors of food. Eating without sight lets you concentrate on the aroma and taste of the food. The menu features delicious dishes such as ricotta and spinach ravioli, fresh seafood tagliatelle and grilled AAA beef striploin with foie gras and red wine sauce. The restaurant also boasts a terrace, providing a pleasant setting for a burger, salmon tartare with salad or steak and fries. There's also a bar offering a fine selection of creative cocktails, wines and other beverages. Onoir works with Horizon Travail and other local organizations that support the visually impaired. An unusual address for a memorable culinary adventure!

Domenic was a wonderful server and 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.
