O.Noir

O.Noir is a new restaurant in the T-dot and so far I love the concept. O.Noir translates into "in the dark". It is a spot where patrons dine, drink and converse entirely in the dark: no flashlights, no matches, no cell phones, no lighters and no cheating. I paused with a HUH?!?!

The intent is two-fold. They say for one, eating in the dark heightens the senses and two, guests learn what it's like to be blind - just like the waitstaff. Orders are taken in a lit lounge at the entrance, where diners can also enjoy drinks before their meal.



O.Noir is owned by Moe Alameddine. The original "dine in the dark" is located in Montreal. The restaurant concept was inspired by Jorge Spielmann, a blind pastor in Zurich, who blindfolded his dinner guests so they could share his experience.

Very interesting and I am really excited to try this restaurant out! This is definitely on my weekend agenda!
