   Exceptional tasting menu with multiple highlights. Quality wine list. Service with welcoming but professional approach. Salmon with horseradish and beet along with wagu were highlights as was a playful, delicious cheese course.

   Enjoyed the tasting menu food at Enigma. Some courses were excellent. The salmon, foie gras, scallop and Wagyu beef courses were outstanding. Others were OK. The miss was the lobster dish which lacked any lobster flavour. The wines offered in the wine pairing were OK, but not impressive. Two sakes, and a rather tasteless white Japanese wine, were excessive for a 10 course meal that was not billed as Japanese. The service was attentive, but seemed rushed, even though the room was half empty on a rainy Tuesday evening. Very annoying, the staff kept trying to remove our wine glasses before they were empty, sometimes without asking. Most of the staff described the dishes so quickly that we certainly missed some of their descriptions. Overall, I would say the value for money was average. My acid test of a restaurant is the answer to this question: Would I dine their again? In this case, the answer is no.

   We celebrated my husband’s birthday with an unforgettable evening at Enigma, where the experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with warmth and genuine hospitality, setting the tone for an extraordinary dining journey. We indulged in the exquisite 8-course tasting menu, a masterful showcase of culinary artistry. Each dish was a revelation, with divine flavors and thoughtfully curated wine pairings that elevated every bite. The pacing of the courses was flawless, allowing us to savor and appreciate each creation fully. Among the standout dishes were the richly spiced Cornish Hen Curry, the decadent Nova Scotia Lobster, and the melt-in-your-mouth Tajima Wagyu—each prepared with remarkable precision and creativity. Meeting the head chef was a highlight of the evening, offering a rare glimpse into the vision and passion behind the menu. This experience was nothing short of extraordinary, and we can’t wait to return for another culinary masterpiece.

   Absolutely perfect martini. The food was absolutely superb. First class. Definitely a Michelin star restaurant. Not just delicious but so artistically presented. The service was excellent, professional timely and personal. However, the wine service was definitely subpar and not appropriate for a fine dining establishment such as this. The Chardonnay was poor quality, not chilled and served at room temperature. Moreover, the technique of serving the wine was unsatisfactory.  There are many dining rooms in the city which serve wine far more elegantly.

   I am on the hunt to try all the Michelin-star restaurants in Toronto. I have tasted 4 now, and so far, Engima is the best one. The food and flavours were incredible as well as the overall design of each plate, carefully curated for maximum enjoyment, but what really got me was first the service and explanation of every dish was incredible, the staff like a well-oiled machine, came in cleaned up, changed silverware and made sure we always had towelettes to clean our hands. The second thing is, the chefs were interactive and came in to talk about the dishes and present it to us, that was awesome and if you ever had questions about the flavour profile, you only need the right question to ask them. The last thing is that it was my father's birthday, they made sure it was an unforgettable one, they took a picture of us and gave us that picture, had complimentary champagne, the chef took a picture with us as well, and we had some starters on the house. They made this birthday incredibly memorable, and my dad is already talking about returning with my mom. You finish off with a little baggie to take home. Like you are a kid who just went to the best birthday party. Everything was incredible, a one-of-a-kind experience, and in our humble opinion, worth every dollar.

   Outstanding restaurant with a brilliant super-talented chef and kitchen deserving those extra Michelin stars. The tasting menus are sublime from start to finish with each dish creating its own unique experience and carrying overtones and hints of an array of influences. This is an experience not to be missed and equal to the best in the world that we have visited. We are so lucky to have such a destination here in Toronto. And if you don't drink wine, the no-alcohol pairings are amazing. Excellent service and great atmosphere.

   We had a wonderful evening and a great experience. The dishes were truly exceptional. We especially loved the confit salmon . We also had the wine pairing with our tasting menu, which was paired well with the menu, and our favorite wine was « the Japanese one «  not sake but the other wine, whose name we unfortunately forgot 😇. Thank you to all of the Enigma Team .
