Two 'Secret' Canadian Restaurants Have Been Named Among North America's Best Hidden Spots

Love bespoke or unusual dining experiences in Canada?

Well, if hidden restaurants and speakeasies are your vibe, then you’re going to want to hunt down two Canadian restaurants that were recently named among North America's coolest secret restaurants. They’re both in the same province, too.

The list was compiled by Time Out, and lists the best secret restaurants in the continent, with a couple of Canadian establishments getting a notable shout-out.

"We love a good chase, a hard-to-find door and an impossible-to-get reservation for a place you’ll have trouble finding once they actually allow you inside." the report explains.

In short, the list includes restaurants that require an access code or that might even have its guests searching through dark passages "in pursuit of your next meal."

Interest piqued yet?

Luckily for Canadian foodies, two Montreal restaurants made the final cut. And you’re definitely going to want to check them out.

Outside of Canada, at the top of the list, is La Noxe in New York City — described by Time Out as a combination of "a little noir flair, a little villain’s lair air, and even less space."

The bar and tapas spot is apparently "literally underground," and getting a seat without a reservation requires ringing a bell on a sidewalk. Pretty cool, eh?

Taking the coveted second spot is No Relation, a nine-seater sushi restaurant in Boston, hidden within Shore Leave in the South End of the city. You'll need a ticket to visit and the menu features a whopping 14 courses.

Duck Sel in Chicago takes the final spot within the top three, offering a secret undisclosed location (which you won't find out until 24-48 hours before your reservation) and "whimsical courses." The mystery!

Meanwhile, if you love good food, the best restaurants in all of Canada were revealed earlier this year, and some of them are surprisingly affordable.
