We came here to celebrate our anniversary & had the best night with incredible food! A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful server, Vanessa, who truly went above & beyond to make our night special as well as offering some tips for our vacation in Montreal.

The food of course, was outstanding too. We are both vegetarian & had several options to chose from. The salad was fresh & seasonal. The main dishes we shared the mushroom & pasta dish were intentional & executed wonderfully. Ending the night with dessert was a great choice too, with such creative sweet treats.

All the wine wine was paired wonderfully. We would come back in a heartbeat!

Wowowowowow un de mes nouveaux restos préférés à Montréal !!! Le menu surprise 4 services à 70$ pp est tellement un bon rapport qualité prix! & c'est presque 7 services si on compte l'amuse bouche, le pain & le trou Normand ajoutés! Les sauces étaient délicieuses & les goûts raffinés. Deux desserts différents sont servis donc on peut essayer plus de plats ! Les cocktails sont incroyables & bien réfléchis également. Déjà hâte de retourner!

Wow. Have been returning to ratafia for a couple years now. Completely indulgent, fantastic service, amazing plating & visuals.

The savory choices were absolutely pleasant & delicious.

The desserts, wow, I could go on, the Mystery dessert at this point, I could only describe it as eating a delicate poem. Complex yet suttle, lingering & understanding. Couldn't be more impressed.

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 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.

A very cozy & romantic place to visit! The desserts are simply amazing, & the service is excellent. The warm lighting & abundance of plants create a lovely, cozy vibe.

Tout était parfait ! Si j'avais pu mettre plus que 5 étoiles, je l'aurai fait.

C'est la 3eme année que nous venons pour la saint Valentin. J'ai toujours été satisfaite mais cette année, mon expérience a surpassée toutes mes attentes ! Notre serveuse, Delphine, a été aux petits soins tout au long de la soirée. Polie, souriante, serviable & attentive à nos « besoins » . Merci encore !

Quant au menu … quel régal ! De l'entrée jusqu'au dessert. On est passées de saveurs « simples » mais parfaitement travaillées & réalisées à des mets bien plus audacieux mais le tout toujours dans l'équilibre & la justesse.
Les cocktails étaient eux aussi, goûtus & équilibrés.

Merci à l'équipe au complet pour l'accueil & la réalisation / confection de ce menu spécial saint Valentin .

Comme d'habitude, super ambiance, super service, qualité de nourriture exceptionnelle, belle présentation, en plus d'une belle sélection de vin. & pour les desserts, un incontournable. C'était la 4e fois & ce ne sera pas la dernière. Aucun doute que vous passerez une belle soirée au Ratafia. Merci à toute l'équipe!

So pleasantly surprised to see how (originally) a dessert bar can whip up amazing savoury dishes! I have to admit I was initially a little skeptical we had to share the tasting menu for 2 in fear of not being full enough, but we came out satiated. However, it did feel slightly out of balance to have 3 & desserts after only 3 savoury dishes because I was personally craving for more of the savoury, especially with the main dish being so darn delicious (but it's also possible my husband gobbled down bigger bites faster than me, so that's on us!) Every dish got better & better as we progressed through the tasting menu. The pre-dessert, however, was underwhelming considering how the spotlight was mainly on citrus fruits, but the freshness of the oranges were lackluster. The last dessert lacked body, a little too airy but I get the concept of ending on a lighter note. The main plum dessert was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! I have to say, it completely exceeded my expectations & it ticked all the checkboxes for a perfect plated dessert. The plum sorbet was so fresh & addictive, & the little dot of fermented plum so elegantly elevated the entire dish. I would come again just because it's rare to see a Montreal restaurant nail both savoury & desserts.
