O.Noir

Initially, one of the main ideas of creating such a restaurant was the desire to show at least one facet of the life of blind people. The second fundamental principle was the attempt to increase the sensitivity of the taste buds of the diner. And indeed, everyone who has ever been in O.Noir says that even the usual dishes and foods are felt quite differently when you don’t see them.
So, make sure of this fact and discover new culinary facets by yourself!

The Sultan’s Tent & Cafe Moroc
