    O.Noir outside

    10 stars !! Faye was our server and he made our experience even better with his warm demeanour. I had never experienced a restaurant like this before and I'm so glad I tried it. A bit overwhelmed at first by the darkness but quickly grew to love having no phones, no distractions and complete focus on the company and delicious food. I had scallops and pasta and it was exceptional!!!

    onoir... more like oh yes. me and my friend have been eyeing this place for DAYS. we were absolutely not let down. we ordered the 2 course menu and experienced 2 hours of pitch blackness. we had 2 hours unplugged from all screens, 2 hours of conversations in the dark, 2 hours of delicious finger-licking good food (literally). the loss of sight truly does enhance your other senses... we were more receptive of each ingredient, more curious into the layers of flavors in each meal, more appreciative of every bite. life changing. 10/10 recommended.

    O.Noir is a special French-Italian restaurant and patrons are expected to eat in complete darkness while being served by legally blind waiters and waitresses (a population that experiences roughly a 70% unemployment rate). There are several courses available for appetizers, mains, and desserts; however, you can also opt for the 'surprise' option where you have no idea what arrives at your table. The 'surprise' option was f..delicious. The concept of the restaurant is to experience food, drink, and conversation in the dark without being able to see anything including your food, guests or even the servers (while maintaining the standards of a premium restaurant). When you sample the food without your sight your remaining senses are heightened allowing you to really savor the smell and sharpen taste of your meal like never before. The server asked us to remove our hands from the table, lest the dishes topple over. The server is visually impaired but moving around effortlessly. Carrying & clearing dishes. Attending to everyone. Chit-chatting. All at the same time. All in pitch darkness. He was in control and knew everything that is going on. Always being there whenever the customer wants you. The server was so friendly and playful and I guarantee you'll be laughing most of the time you're in the dark. You'll most likely end up speaking to the people next to you and it's a great way to socialize without feeling shy because you can't see each other. The friendly staff and servers made the experience an awesome one. We never felt rushed at all. This was an outstanding experience and I highly suggest that everyone tries it. The more important was the fact you couldn't pull out your mobile phone or look at your watch. Time doesn't pass easily in places like these. Hence " conversation in the dark". In an era when we usually pass time before the food is served by scrolling through our mobile phones, these minutes proved to be quite a challenge for many people. The idea was for people to talk to each other, an art unfortunately forgotten in today's times, unfortunately. And, If you need to go to the bathroom, someone shows you the way. Luckily you can pee with the lights on One more thing, it's the perfect place for a blind date. Thanks to our server, the owner Leonardo and all the staff for making this unique experience amazing

    Onoir is a must try in Montréal! I had heard about it a while ago and always wanted to check it out. Make a reservation to go here. When you arrive, you pick your menu, 2 or 3 courses and drinks (or you can choose to be surprised). You have to put all lighted objects in a locker until the end of your meal because it is a completely in the dark experience. All of the serving staff are blind, and they guide you into a completely dark dining room and throughout the meal (where to sit, where things are). The experience is like being blind because you can't see anything at all in the pitch dark. The food was amazing! I had duck for an appetizer, deer ribs for entree, chocolate cake for dessert, and chose the surprise cocktail. All of it was delicious! This was such a unique experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

    Eating at Onoir is such an amazing experience! You get to dine in the complete darkness and guess what is on your plate. If you are eating for the first time, I suggest you getting the surprise dishes/drinks, it really test your palates. I was lucky that no one in the room opened their cellphone, but apparently some people had some bad experience. Please leave your cellphone in the lockers at your disposal! The food itself was flavourful, and the meat were juicy and really well cooked. I honestly loved the food as much as the experience, they also give a generous portion. The service was fantastic and the waiters were all friendly. Will go back!

    The food wasn't really good, the service was ok, and the idea is to make you eat in complete darkness! We asked to sit at the bar instead

They curate whatever drinks based on your preferences, including sweetness, fruitiness, etc. They ask you about your preferences, and then based on that they have a designated drink ready. It is not in a traditional menu where you order it which makes it all the more fun! The vibes were immaculate and very clean, the service was fairly nice even though they were busy. Drinks run $20 each and we're all amazing!

I'm a fan of cocktail bars, and after reading up on this spot I made it my intention to check it out. It just so happened that it was a short walk from my hotel, so we decided to check it out one night before heading to dinner. The Cloakroom is a speakeasy, nestled behind a hidden door in a men's clothing shop. In the line of being a speakeasy, the space is small - there are only 24 seats but since we got there right at opening we were seated right away. The space is dark and intimate, with the bottles of liquor lit up behind the bar providing an attractive focal point. One of the more unique features of the bar is that there's no menu; we told our server the types of liquors we wanted along with the flavor notes and they crafted a cocktail based on our tastes. We ultimately had two rounds; my first drink was vodka-based and fruity, while I went with something gin-based and dryer. Both were very good - there's little fanfare with presentation; the bartenders let the drinks speak for themselves. Service was great; due to the setup, each patron is given extra attention which really highlighted the experience. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at The Cloakroom Bar. This was definitely a unique experience with excellent curated drinks. I would definitely return the next time I'm in Montreal.
