Critically acclaimed to be among Canada’s best restaurants, Canoe's unique location high atop the TD Bank Tower affords a breathtaking view of the city and Lake Ontario. The design, originally conceptualized by noted designers Yabu Pushelberg and most recently refreshed by Solid Design Creative, is clean and simple, yet absolutely stylish - a brilliant reflection of Canada's rich raw environment.

• International • Yorkville
Booked 7 times today
Enigma Yorkville sits quietly on historic St. Thomas Street in Toronto’s Yorkville district, where Chef Quinton Bennett and his worldly kitchen team orchestrate a seasonal blind tasting menu that seamlessly weaves local bounty with global influences—from the subtle discipline of Nordic fare to the meticulous artistry of Japanese cuisine. Each course unfolds with precision and grace, revealing layers of flavor that are at once whisper-light and profoundly resonant.Surrounding you is our “Sunset Groove” design: a handcrafted mosaic of coral red, creamy gold, smoky lavender and forest green tiles that ripple across walls like the last rays of dusk dancing on water. This melding of 1970s warmth and modern free-spirit sets a jazz-tinged stage where food, wine and atmosphere move in concert. More than a meal, Enigma Yorkville is a living canvas—a lingering sunset melody that stays with you long after the final bite.
