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!

We had an incredible anniversary dinner, the food was amazing with lots of veggie options. A great wine list & most of all, an amazing server, Venessa who went out of her way to make us feel special & give us many amazing recommendations of places to go in Montreal (which we did, & all were incredible!)

Vanessa, you're the best!

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.

Had such a wonderful experience at Ratafia.I'm always extra grateful when a restaurant offers thoughtful vegan options in a true fine-dining setting, & Ratafia absolutely delivered. Every dish felt intentional, creative, & beautifully presented.

A special thank you to our server, Camille, whose attention really elevated the evening. She carefully selected wines that paired perfectly with each dish & guided us through the menu with genuine care & enthusiasm.

It's rare to find a place that combines refined cuisine, excellent wine, & such warm service while still making vegan guests feel fully included. A memorable night, thank you!

One of our new favorites in Montreal. Amazing creative food, excellent service, beautiful wine. We did the discovery menu which they happily accommodated to the dietary restrictions we had. Can't wait to come back!

Ratafia on Saint-Laurent Street was an outstanding experience from start to finish.

The space is charming & inviting, the service is warm & polished, & the food is both delicious & creative. We opted for the tasting menu, & every course was beautifully executed. The wine pairings were also very well done & complemented the dishes perfectly.

What truly made the evening special was the service. Our waitress was exceptional-genuinely warm, attentive, & welcoming. I only wish I knew her name so her outstanding work could be properly recognized.

The value is remarkable for the quality offered. The pricing is very fair & almost feels like a bargain for such a refined & memorable experience. Ratafia is a place that reminds you why dining out can be so special.

They didn't honour my the seats I booked at reservation, the food was really just ok (under seasoned), the servers were very nice but didn't know much about wine.

The staff explains each pairing with passion, making the experience even more memorable.
