The brioche, the honey cake, & the cappelletti were excellent! The cavatelli was good in flavor but lacking in wow factor, would have loved a vegetable in there, or a protein option. Service was excellent. Music a bit loud.

I can't even begin to explain the incredible service we received here.

Everything on the menu was a surprise we had no idea what they were going to serve next, which made the whole experience even more exciting.
Honestly, I can barely remember all the dish names, but I'll try my best because everything felt like such a unique experience.

For appetizers, we were served both vegan & beef meatballs, followed by an octopus dish only my second time trying octopus, & it was absolutely delicious & unlike anything I've had before. We also had brioche & a pasta with butter, red chili, & rosemary that was simple yet so flavorful.

There was one salad that both my partner & I didn't enjoy, but what truly stood out was how the staff handled it they kindly offered us one of our cocktails on the house. That level of generosity & care is something I've honestly never experienced at a restaurant before.

& the dessert… so freaking good.

Overall, the food was great, but the service made the entire experience unforgettable.

My wife & I dream about the dessert we had here on a whim. The food is incredible. The staff are amazing. If I could speak French & immigrate to Canada then I would find a place right across the street from this restaurant & eat there every day.

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.
