Why Concert-goers love it

What People Say

Guests on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the creative cocktails, beautiful presentation of dishes, and the speakeasy-style ambiance. Many note how the staff are both friendly and knowledgeable, helping diners navigate the ever-changing tapas menu. The intimate setting also scores high marks for being a great date-night option before or after a nearby concert.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the vibe can get a bit too quiet early in the evening, so if you're looking for a high-energy scene before your show, you may want to arrive a little later. Also, while the small plate concept is perfect for sharing, those with bigger appetites may want to order a few extra dishes to feel fully satisfied.

The Bottom Line

Secrette is a go-to for concert-goers craving style, flavor, and a touch of mystery—just steps from Toronto’s music scene.
