There will be dining in the dark by February Downtown and perhaps in the spot being vacated by Golden Griddle at 77 Lower Jarvis (formerly Casa di Giorgio). That chain is closing there and the Montreal O.Noir Restaurant is on the brink of taking that spot or another Downtown site.
Either way, the fine-dining establishment with prix-fixe menus will feature 70 seats of dining in total darkness with legally blind wait staff serving. (Cooks and cashiers will be sighted.) The lounge will be lighted. The concept started in Switzerland and has spread in Europe, to Australia, New York and Los Angeles.
