Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Yonge and Lawrence

Amazing food every time Highly recommend

Paese’s new menu shows how much they listen to their customers, incorporating specials that have become our favourites into an already diverse and delectable offering. As always, the service was fantastic and friendly, the food was delicious and we left satiated and happy and ready to do it all over again soon.

This is the first time my husband and I did an 8 course tasting. With incredibly knowledgable staff, mind blowing and complex food, this was a night to remember. When a taste can bring you back to your childhood (much like what happened in Ratatouille), it’s nothing I had ever experienced anywhere else. Even as a non vegetarian, I did not miss the absence of meat. A must “go-to”.

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.
