C'était un 10/10 du début à la fin. Camille, notre serveuse, était attentive, professionnelle & vraiment sur la coche tout au long du service.

Nous avons pris le menu dégustation à 70 $ & c'était tout simplement parfait. Plus la soirée avançait, plus chaque service réussissait à surpasser le précédent.

Nous avons aussi eu la chance de découvrir un vin importé d'Autriche, un mélange de Cabernet & de Syrah. Très fruité, riche & absolument délicieux. Camille nous a super bien guidés pendant toute l'expérience, autant pour les plats que pour les accords avec les boissons.

Je recommande définitivement cet endroit!

Excellente expérience chez Ratafia. Un restaurant gastronomique avec des plats raffinés, originaux & très bien exécutés. L'ambiance est élégante & parfaite pour une belle soirée à Montréal.

Petit plus très apprécié: possibilité de faire préparer un bouquet de fleurs sur commande, ce qui ajoute une touche vraiment spéciale pour une occasion.

Je recommande fortement, surtout pendant MTLàTABLE 🌹🍷✨

J'ai adoré! Coup de coeur pour l'asperge en plat, le daisy en dessert & le trou granité! C'est vraiment une place à dessert & à cocktail! La facture monte vite par contre, & il est recommandé de prendre deux plats par personne si on n'a pas mangé.

Édit : on est revenus pour Noël, & nous avons eu un très bon repas ! Comme on s'y attendait, le highlight c'est le dessert. Ça nous arrive aussi de venir juste pour le dessert ❤?
Attention c'est très cher par contre 😬

I never write reviews but this place forced my hand in the best way possible.

We were six chaotic but deeply enthusiastic food & wine-loving girls on a Montréal trip, & from the second we walked in, we knew we'd found somewhere special. The food was genuinely out of this world, very inventive & each dishes with personality. The ambiance was intimate, cozy, & somehow made us all feel effortlessly chic despite our general level of chaos. Playlist was also great!

& the service-especially from the two incredible women with glasses whose names we absolutely should have remembered but tragically did not-was next-level. They guided us through everything with so much warmth & ease, & somehow handled our group dynamic like absolute pros.

10/10 would emotionnally attach ourselves to this place again. Will recommend to everyone. Xxx

My husband & I went to Ratafia for my birthday. It was a quiet night but the food & service did not disappoint. We chose the secret menu with the wine pairing for each course. We've been to numerous restaurants around the city, it's the first time we've experienced such a culinary delight. From start to finish, the dishes were presented with gorgeous design & the ingredients danced lovingly on our palates. Chef Magie Marier experiments with bold flavors & textures, it's no surprise she was one of the top contenders in last year's 2025 series' Les Chefs'. Our servers Joannie & Moe were exceptional, attentive to every detail. They were kind & personable, truly making our special evening even more memorable.
We highly recommend this establishment.

Tombée par hasard au 2e service le soir de la Saint-Valentin, une table disponible comme par magie suite au no-show d'un autre couple.. bref, un incroyable accueil, dans un décor & une ambiance intimiste. Les serveurs sont discrets mais au petit soin avec un grand soucis du détail. La nourriture était ex-cep-tionnel, avec un mélange de saveurs audacieux & harmonieux. Des cocktails tout aussi originaux & savoureux.
J'aurai voulu que la soirée ne s'arrête jamais!
Je recommande à 100%

Une expérience tout simplement exceptionnelle au Ratafia ! Des plats raffinés, savoureux & magnifiquement présentés, qui démontrent un réel souci du détail. Le service est attentionné, professionnel & chaleureux du début à la fin.
Le menu de la Saint-Valentin était absolument mémorable - chaque bouchée était un pur délice. Une soirée parfaite dans une ambiance élégante & conviviale.
Un incontournable que je recommande sans hésitation !
