From the OpenTable editors: White-glove service and a state-of-the-art open kitchen spell luxury at this MICHELIN-starred, special-occasion gem. But it’s executive chef Quinton Bennett’s unexpected but winning combos—which have previously included silky egg custard with poached lobster or fried kale and cabbage with shaved foie gras and Parmesan dust—that place Enigma in a league of its own.

  • Mother's Day Lunch at Enigma

    CA$185.00 per person

    Prepaid

    May 11, 2025 only
    This Mother’s Day, Enigma opens for a rare and thoughtful Sunday lunch — a quiet, elegant invitation to pause and honour the women who have shaped us, raised us, stood beside us, and carried us in ways both seen and unseen. Whether you’re gathering in celebration, in memory, or in gratitude, this afternoon is designed to feel special. We begin with a glass of sparkling Blanc de Noir — a gentle toast to strength, to love, to presence — before moving into a four-course tasting menu that leans into seasonality, refinement, and warmth. The dishes, like the day, are built with care: layered, expressive, and deeply considered. The experience ends with a small procession of sweets, served with tea and coffee, inviting you to linger a little longer. This is not just a meal, but a moment — a table set with intention, a space held for meaning, and a rare opportunity to slow down and say what words sometimes can’t. We would be honoured to host you.

    We had an exceptional experience at Enigma; enjoyed the Chef’s Table 10 course with wine pairings. Every single member of the staff were warm and friendly from the moment we arrived, exceeding all expectations . We enjoyed interacting with the Chefs and Sous Chefs as they prepared meals and drinks and got the play by play on each course. Chef Quinton directed the kitchen with the precision of a Swiss watch- and still took time out to come and talk with us. Food was exceptional, the pairings were perfect the ambiance was warm and staff were friendly. This was hands down our best dining experience we have had in Toronto - we will return to enjoy the cocktail pairings.

    Good service with great ambiance. The menu was adequate. The openers offered contrasts through flavors and textures, and the rougher edges smoothed out over the courses. Pleasant experience overall.

    OMG! Where do I start? Sat at chef’s table and had one the greatest dining experiences of my life. I was solo so could interact the the kitchen crew without ignoring my date (sadly has happened before 😞). The tasting menu was innovative, imaginative, creative and of course scrumptious. Unlike anywhere else the have a “temperance” pairing (instead of wine), brilliant! I did have one cocktail to start: an espresso martini to die for. I would eat here again in a heartbeat, hopefully next time with my wife ❤️
