Quelle expérience ! Nous avions pris la carte blanche 4 services à 70$ ce qui a permis de goûter à plusieurs choix sur le menu (aller voir le menu pour le détail des plats) : croquette de boeuf effiloché, Tomate, un repas mystère, le poisson pour 2 & pour le dessert, le granité au cantaloup & le Medovik. Un délice du début à la fin. Perso, dans ma vie j'en ai fait des bons restos, mais celui-là se démarque franchement pour le rapport qualité prix. En plus, il y avait une carte des alcools 5@7 donc nous avons eu 2 bons verres à prix réduits. Nous étions installées sur la terrasse, mais j'ai bien hâte d'y retourner cet hiver & d'essayer leur salle à manger au décor feutré & décontracté. Notre serveuse était vraiment gentille & son service à la hauteur de ce restaurant. Nous avons passé une excellente soirée, merci à toute l'équipe derrière 🩵

The ambiance is perfect as it's dimly lit, & the layout is also super cute with little nooks you can be seated in. The service is one of the best we've ever had in Montreal! Our server Delphine & the rest of the team was super attentive & made us feel accommodated. Not to mention, the Crunchy dessert knocked it out of the park. The tartare was really amazing as well, just super small for the price

We came here to celebrate our engagement & it really exceeded expectations. Our server was Manu (apologize if i spelled your name wrong) & she was amazing & very kind, attentive. Great selection of desserts too. The lamb dish was my favorite.
Great place for date nights!
We already plan on coming back more & bringing our friends with us. Thanks for making our day special!

Nice wine bar with an exquisite dessert selection. The challenge is to keep enough of an appetite to get a taste of it. The menu is convenient for sharing & each plates were rich in flavors & textures. With the menu changing, it is the king of place you will look forward to coming back again.
The waiters offers a welcoming service & take time to explain thoroughly the plates presented in front of you.

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.
