| - Y'know the saying, "You eat with your eyes before you eat with your mouth."? Well, that doesn't apply here. At O'Noir, you are literally eating in pitch black DARKNESS. (Yes, I'll repeat it once more. Darkness.) Sounds crazy, eh? Well, it is. I been here two times and the experience just never seems to get old. Look at it this way. 6892 days was me eating in plain sight, while on the other hand, 2 days in complete darkness.
Their philosophy is basically if you lose one of your senses, the others are heightened. Meaning, the taste of the food will be more distinct as well as the smell of it. Although I didn't find the food to "taste" better, what I did find was that I ate faster than I normally would. Also, utensils were only used for about 2 minutes before I resorted to caveman style (Using my hands). Oh yeah, I wore a white shirt.... and came out looking like a brown cow. The cost was on the pricey side with an appetizer or dessert + main for $32 or all three for $39, but damn, the whole crazy eating in the dark fiasco definately makes it worth while. I mean c'mon WHEN on earth are you ever going to eat in complete darkness? Not to mention, WHERE in Toronto?
Answer: Just one night at O'Noir.
I tried:
2 appetizers: Grilled portabello (Flavourful) + Calamari (Underseasoned)
3 mains: Filet mignon (Juicy + Tender), Chicken breast (Underseasoned and too much tomato sauce), and Veal (I've had better).
