O6 SENS | Le plaisir de la table dans le noir

[Spoiler Alert] It’s my 4th time there and my first time being disappointed. 1 out of 3 of the appetizers, 1 out of 3 of the main dishes and all the deserts were subpar for the 6e sens and the price tag. I don’t go to this kind of establishment for a beet salad, vanilla ice cream, crème brûlée or a beaver tail. I also miss their monthly themes. The concept and the staff remain great, I’m just sad to see that the new chefs may not be up to par with the chef who quit last Spring.

Very unique experience and friendly staff. Recommend this restaurant for a pleasant dine in.

On May 8th, a friend and I decided to go on a foodie adventure. This restaurant in Québec City, Ô6e Sens, invites patrons to come in and let their non-sight senses guide them in a journey of culinary exploration.Whenever the servers came to our table they would announce that they were there before anything else. This was really nice because it never felt like you were being sneaked up on. After a while, we actually got really good at knowing where our servers were just based on the sound of their footsteps! And they were all so patient with us. Every little thing was explained, they used sound and touch to let us know where our utensils, napkins, water and food were, and when we didn’t follow their instructions properly they remained completely professional and very courteous.OH! Something completely unexpected happened when, after our main course, our server asked us if we wanted some surprise shots. We didn’t know what he was talking about, so he explained the concept. Basically, there’s a bunch of shots with weird names and you just sort of pick one and hope for the best. The names were: Creamy, After Eight, Cerveau (Brain), Salaud (Bastard) and Spicy. We chose Creamy and Cerveau, because why the heck not. I’m not going to tell you anything about them, other than this: When this is offered to you, DO IT. It was so much fun! Neither of us had any idea what to expect, and no way of knowing what was in it until after we drank it. It’s basically a minigame within the larger game concept of this restaurant.What can I say about the food without giving too much away? It was delicious, but I also got to try things I wouldn’t have otherwise. Nothing gross, their intention isn’t to trick you, but because I couldn’t see it before tasting it, I didn’t limit myself and say: no, I don’t think I’ll try that. It was very freeing. Plus it was a fun challenge to try to identify which spice was the star of the show. I think I got 2/6 right. Yikes.The chef came out and showed us everything that we had eaten, along with a few fun facts on how certain things were made. It was really funny to see how wrong we had been, and really encouraging when we had guessed something correctly!This was a fantastic experience, and I will definitely be returning in 6-8 weeks when they’ve changed up their menu again. It was such a fun and tasty adventure as it was, and we were absolutely blown away by the phenomenal service offered by our servers and the chef. Everyone went out of their way to make this a positive experience and that was the proverbial cherry on top.

The best experience I had in the Capital City. Eating in the dark was surely the best to appreciate the food. The customer service was really the best. The social experience was overwhelming. Shout Out to Andre and the whole team. Love you guyz!!!Come around! Eat the good food!! And Support these lovely people♡!!!

Interesting experience. Eating in the total dark is a unique experience. At least one lifetime experience. Better in small group of 4. Also, if there is something you defenetly don't want to eat, let the server know since the whole experience is to know what you ate only after you have eaten it.

Amazing. It was definitely something I would call a 5 star experience. You are in absolute darkness and cannot see your hands in front of your face. That means no one can see you either and you can just forget everything and relax and enjoy the food. It's more expensive than most meals but I took my fiance there for her birthday and she loved it. Highly recommend for special occasions. Also all of the waiters and waitresses are blind, which is kind of nice.

Incredible experience! The dinner was a 9 course meal, consisting of a soup+bread to start, followed by 3 appetizers, 3 main dishes, and 3 desserts. We also chose the wine pairing option, which went well with each course. Our waiter, Christopher, was amazing, and guided us to our table slowly. He explained everything thoroughly, making sure we were all set and guiding us along the way. The food was incredible, and it was a blast trying to figure out what we were eating! It really encourages you to use your smell and all of your taste buds to decipher what you were eating! We did pretty well guessing most of the items, but there were definitely some that we were way off. It got us to try new things that we may not have tried before. Afterwards, we were guided back out to the main lobby, where the chef explained everything to us in great detail.Overall a wonderful experience, and highly recommend if you get the chance!

Great experience discovering food from only taste, aroma and texture. Our server, Bridgette, was fantastic.

Such a great experience! The food is delicious and the waiters very kind. Everything is perfect for a dinner with a friend or a bunch of friends. It is good to know that the dining room is completely in the dark and the waiters are blind. During the dinner you're trying to find out what you're eating and after they show you what it was. I sincerely recommend this to everyone that have the opportunity to go there! Also a great thing is that the adjust the menu that they're giving if there are some food restrictions. Incredible experience!!

Amazing place, lovely staff, great food. If you're looking for a unique experience you should definitely keep this place in mind. Thank you Brigitte for your great service
