    Prepaid

    1 - 5 people

    Multiple dates available
    Non-refundable deposit: $100 The 10-Course Blind Tasting Menu is a carefully structured dining journey, developed through collective creativity and collaboration across the culinary team. Each course is composed with intention, guided by seasonality, balance, and refined technique, allowing flavours and textures to unfold naturally from beginning to end. Designed to be experienced without preconceptions, the Blind Tasting Menu invites curiosity and presence at the table. Thoughtful pacing, layered flavours, and a cohesive narrative connect each course, creating an immersive experience that feels both expressive and quietly surprising. This menu reflects a shared vision—one where collaboration, precision, and restraint come together to form a complete and memorable evening. This dining experience does not include beverages. Guests may choose from a thoughtfully curated cocktail pairing, wine pairing, or non-alcoholic pairing, or make their beverage selections on the evening. Pairings may also be adjusted throughout the meal, allowing the experience to respond naturally to personal preference and pacing. Each pairing is the result of close collaboration between the culinary and beverage teams. From the rise and fall of flavours to texture, structure, and rhythm, every drink is conceived in dialogue with the dishes it accompanies—allowing beverages to move beyond accompaniment and become an integral part of the expression. Together, food and drink engage in a quiet, deliberate exchange, unfolding seamlessly over the course of the evening. The result is a balanced, immersive experience—layered, cohesive, and resonant long after the final course. Note: To match each experience with the right pace and atmosphere, seating is based on the format you select: Tasting experiences (6/10-course and Chef Counter) are served in the Dining Room, while à la carte dining is offered in our Salon. The Salon is designed for a more flexible, relaxed à la carte experience, while the Dining Room is structured for the pacing of tasting menus. Both spaces uphold the same standard of cuisine and hospitality. Enigma does not permit outside food, including birthday cakes. For birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and other special occasions, we are pleased to provide a house-made celebration cake and one glass of Champagne per guest as part of our hospitality. A deposit is required to secure all reservations and is non-refundable in the event of cancellation or no-show. All final bills include an 18% automatic gratuity and a 5% house operations fee.

In addition to the core structure, two courses are selected daily, reflecting the team’s ongoing dialogue with seasonality, inspiration, and ingredients at their peak. This experience invites guests closer to the creative process, where spontaneity and technique meet in real time. Each Chef’s Counter evolves slightly from one evening to the next, shaped by the moment and the collective expression of the team. The result is a dining journey that feels intimate, dynamic, and uniquely of the evening—rooted in collaboration and crafted with intention. This dining experience does not include beverages.

Presented as a four-course experience, it offers a thoughtful balance between structure and flexibility—allowing guests to engage with the kitchen’s creative language within a more concise and efficient dining timeframe, without compromising depth or expression.

    Delicious and beautiful food, excellent service. The nonalcoholic drinks pairing was so inspired - both complimenting the food flavours, and also standing out and providing new experiences. An absolute must!

    The restaurant itself is beautiful. I don’t typically dine at French restaurants, so I won’t critique the food since I might not be the right person to judge it. However, I felt compelled to write this review because one of the male hosts had a very unpleasant odour. When he passed by, my wife didn’t even finish one of her tasting menu dishes. For a place that values hospitality, this should have been communicated to the host.

    We sat in the corner and it was freezing with the AC. I had a blanket the whole night. The food was very average, no dish stood out as amazing. Even my cappuccino was bitter. Service was good though. Overpriced in general.

    8 course tasting menu was delectable. Not a bad bite throughout. Every bite was better than the last. They start off strong at the bar and finish tight with dessert and nightcap. Highly recommend

    Had the 4 course pre-fixed. This place will drop their Michelin star. Chewy sirloin, salmon had zero flavor, and overall very boring and forgettable experience. The absolute best thing was the mocktail we had at the bar, and the service which was very good, though unpolished. It’s not a bad place, but definitely not worth of a Michelin star. Won’t be back.

    Impeccable services. Excellent food quality and presentation. We will definitely re-visit. One minor "do better": restaurant needs to train staff on how to seamlessly handle gift card transactions.

    We had an outstanding dining experience at Enigma on Aug 28, 2026. Enigma is a restaurant that we've wanted to dine at for quite some time, and the wait was worth it. We had the 8 course tasting menu and each course was fantastic. The relaxing atmosphere in an uncrowded setting made the dining experience that much more enjoyable. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and this point was not lost on each individual that served us. Many thanks for the complimentary extras that were provided as part of this evening. The sommelier and all the servers were friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable. The variety of the food and the pace of the dinner was perfect, allowing both of us to savour and remember the food and tastes. It was a treat to meet Chef Barnes who personally presented and served the Scottish salmon dish to us. Of particular note was the non-alcoholic drink pairing that Enigma offers, something that was pioneered by Enigma and is now being done at other restaurants. This was a pleasant surprise to us, since neither of us are heavy wine drinkers. A shout out to the bartender/server who provided us with a take home sample of the favourite of the drinks that we were served. Thanks to everyone who made this everning a memorable experience. We will definitely return in the future and recommend Enigma to others. Perry Lee Toronto

    My wife and I ate here for our 8th anniversary yesterday, and I can say that it was fantastic. All those attention-to-detail moments you see in the movies and shows are all present at this restaurant. It was a well-oiled machine of service. Every word I said was being analyzed, cataloged, and used for the next course. It was beautiful to witness such finesse and attention in real life. It made me want to change a few things in my own business. I hate that I forgot my waiter's name, but if you see this review, thank you for a great service, and hats off to the chef for one hell of a dining experience.
    Enigma YorkvilleResponded on 27 August 2026
    Thank you so much, Metehan, for such an incredibly thoughtful review. It means a great deal to our entire team to know that you and your wife chose Enigma to celebrate your 8th anniversary with us. We’re especially touched that you noticed the little details and the way our team tries to make each guest feel genuinely cared for. Hearing that the experience inspired you in your own business is one of the greatest compliments we could receive. We’ll make sure your kind words reach our chef and entire service team. And we’ll do our best to find the waiter whose name you couldn’t quite remember! Happy 8th anniversary to you both, and thank you again for celebrating with us. We hope to welcome you back soon!

    An absolutely fabulous experience from beginning to end. The service was exceptional, with an incredible team whose warmth and attention to detail made the entire evening feel truly special. Every dish was outstanding. The quality of the ingredients, the incredible flavors, the beautiful presentation, and the remarkable attention to every detail were truly impressive. Each course felt carefully crafted and perfectly executed, and the wine pairing was equally exceptional, beautifully complementing every dish. One of the highlights of the evening was also having the opportunity to interact and chat with the members of the team throughout the experience. Their passion and knowledge added so much to the evening. It was especially appreciated that the chef took the time to personally come speak with us—it made an already exceptional experience feel even more memorable and personal. A truly unforgettable dining experience at Enigma, from the food and wine to the service and genuine hospitality. We loved every moment!
