Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Little Italy / College St.

Absolutely amazing service and food. Everything was delicious. Jessica took great care of us and working with our allergies. Everyone there made my mother’s birthday and first time in Toronto worth the trip.

It’s always a fabulous experience. We started out at the Bar having a cocktail - Arie is a doll. He really gets to know you. Dinner was outstanding. Mohammed was more than professional and accommodating. We don’t dine there often enough. Highly recommend.

The service and food quality is absolutely amazing. My wife and I have been trying to get reservations for years and finally we were successful on the evening of our 35th Anniversary. From the Hostess to the servers Adam, Godwin and the AGM Johann, everyone were super attentive and provided great input about the menu options chosen. The Steak Tarta & French onion Soup, both developed tastefully with the perfect combination of herbs & spices and creatively presented. The Brome Lake Duck and poached pear a perfect combination of sweet and acid complementing the tender meat of the pine- glazed Duck. The Lamb Rack, tender and tastefully matched with the white port jus and charred broccoli, made for a mouth watering pallet. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and ended it with a rich cappuccino and Black Forest gâteau which we romantically shared and now look forward to our next visit, hopefully soon.

Chef Quinton Bennett created the perfect meal for my wife’s birthday. His genius lies in his precision to create memorable dishes, creating memorable flavour profiles, and most importantly presenting them in unique ways. Not to mention that his tasting menu produced some of the best dishes I have ever eaten. It is extremely difficult to illicit emotional responses when eating a tasting menu. Chef Bennett did that in spades. have been to many Michelin star restaurants around the world. Other than food, what makes Enigma so special? Mocktail pairings that are better than wine pairings. Each mocktail was memorable, unique, and accentuated the flavour profiles in a way I have never experienced them. Need another reason to dine at Enigma. None. It is quite simply the best restaurant period. I live in Ottawa and will absolutely travel to Toronto just to dine at Enigma. The staff was also amazing. Very present and very helpful. Daria is the first person you meet when you arrive at the restaurant. She is pleasant and very accommodating. James manages the waiters and his exceptional attention to details definitely shows. Vlado and the barman responsible for the mocktails are brilliant and when you try them you will understand my sentiments. Perfect restaurant which provided the perfect meal. I believe there is no bigger compliment I can give. I have never had a perfect meal. Until now. That is why I choose to eat at Michelin star restaurants. I will never forget Chef Quinton Bennett. Go and dine at Enigma.

Absolutely perfect dining experience. Definitely recommend.
