Canada’s Best Restaurant is Hiding in a Black Barn | Word of Mouth

Pearl Morissette is a special dining experience found inside a nondescript black barn in the Niagara region of Canada. The Ontario restaurant has a farm on properties that grows an immense range of edible vegetables, herbs, and flowers that are utilized in the dining establishment's tasting menu.

The chefs Daniel Hadida and Eric Robertson develop their menu based upon what's fresh that given day or time of year. This implies that the experience is continuously altering and the menu is carte blanche.

One thing is for certain when visiting Pearl Morissette; a dedication to the use of sustainable Canadian active ingredients.

  1. Shane Harper has the most violently Canadian accent I’ve ever heard.

    1. ​@MACARONIEMANIACI’m from Southern Ontario actually. God forbid a Canadian travels across their own country.

  2. I wish I was half as passionate about anything as Shane is about farming.

    1. The guy is so happy, enthusiastic, motivated and content…. They are lucky to have him…..

  3. Vice used to be unapologetically Canadian. More content like this please and make it more region specific. Can’t just title things “Canada” for such unique and specific places.

    1. What a weird thing to say – all Canadians can be proud of this unique restaurant and its cuisine – oh I get it, your channel is a travel channel and it doesn’t get any views, and no one will let you into their kitchen to film.

    2. ​​@AllMagasGoToGitmothe video is fantastic. It’s the national generalization of the title and write-up that misses the mark. You wouldn’t understand. You’re not Canadian. Can care less about views. I post videos so that my dad can see my adventures.

    3. @cityandlocal If you actually watched the video, you’d see it’s because they mention that Pearl Morissette was named CANADA’s top restaurant for 2025. I suggest watching the video next time before commenting.

    4. @StringsCrusader I actually did watch the video, thanks. It’s wonderful. I plan on dining at this restaurant eventually. I also grew up near that region. My point is this channel used to be very Canadian. I used to drive by Vice’s office every day when I lived in Toronto. But domestic stories are now few and far between. Yet, there’s something new about NYC or London every month. I just miss the old Vice.

  4. this is the closest restaurant to the one represented in “The Menu” but instead of the chef’s ego its a garden

  5. I dined at RPM for my birthday a year ago and had the tasting menu with the juice pairing instead of the wine. It was unforgettable!

    1. what kind of juices came with the pairing? We dined there a couple months ago, but my wife didn’t want to do the juice pairing because she was afraid it would be too vegetable/herb dominant

  6. Shane is the first canadian I’ve ever heard (after living here my whole life) who actually says “aboot”

    1. If u watch sportsnet you’ll hear it everyday wherever u r in the country lol

  7. For anyone finding this expensive, I highly recommend the RPM Bakehouse, very accessible bakery/cafe with very good pastries and jams.

    1. Seconded. Very reasonably priced for the quality of food, service and space.

  8. We ate at this restaurant. They could hear how much we loved the bread as we were eating. They gave us each a loaf as we left. 5 stars for days.

    1. I wanna go there so badly! I’m in Canada too. And they gave you a loaf of bread? That is so special 💕

  9. Love it. Shane hit the nail on the head when he compared it to eating from your kitchen garden.

    It’s kind of sad that their supply chain comes across like a novelty, when it really should be the norm.

    1. Ontario actually does use a lot of local but you’d never know it, its also been perverted by distributors who use slave labour farmed ingredients from china. Just avoid that stuff and you’re eating a decent amount of local at least during the warmer months

  10. Ate here in February 2020 as a surprise gift. They called before we were about to leave, due to a snow storm they’d lost power but said if we could still make it, they’d still serve us. Pretty white knuckle drive down with my fiancée blindfolded in the passenger seat, we were the only ones on the QEW for a while. Could not see anything, no streetlights, just open fields with blistering snow drifts. Finally find the jet black barn in what felt like the middle of nowhere. Even without electricity they did an incredible job and I don’t feel like anything was sacrificed – it was a spectacular experience from start to finish. I’m so glad they’ve continued to rise and grow since then and would love to come back someday, maybe when the weather is a bit better. Good job RPM and thanks for making a special occasion even more special.
