    A new unique culinary adventure in the dark makes its way to Toronto. Make use of all your senses except for sight to find our what you have been missing by seeing your meal.

    According to the owners:
    After three years of stimulating Montrealers’ senses and stomachs, O.NOIR is excited to bring it’s extraordinary culinary adventure to Toronto.
    Already the rage in Europe, Australia, L.A., New York and Montreal – O.NOIR – Canada’s first-ever “Dine in the Dark” restaurant now invites Torontonians to experience food, drink and conversation like never before – without their sight!
    “It’s a sensual dining experience like no other!” says O.NOIR owner and founder Moe Alameddine… “When you eat food in the dark, your remaining senses are heightened to savour the smell and taste of food. Even simple, everyday dishes like potatoes and yogurt take on a culinary flare.”

    But O.NOIR does more than just fire the imagination and stimulate the senses. After a few hours in complete darkness (that’s right, no flashlights, matches, cell phones, cigarette lighters or luminous watches), customers gain a better understanding of what it’s like to be blind – just like the restaurant’s entire wait staff.

    This socially conscious concept sprang from Jorge Spielmann, a blind pastor in Zurich who used to blindfold his dinner guests at his home so they could share his eating experience. In 1999, Spielmann opened Blindekuh (German for Blind Cow); a project aimed at teaching the sighted about the sightless world, and provide jobs for blind people.
    “How lucky am I.” Moe proudly states. “I get to do something I love and make a difference”.
    Good cause or not, O.NOIR offers everything you’d expect from a fine restaurant: Great service, a delicious menu… plus, a culinary experience like no other!
