Je me suis dit : bar à vin & desserts... 🤔 .... Woooo, mais qu'elle idée incroyable 😲! & oui, c'était à la hauteur de mes attentes créées par les magnifiques photos que l'on voit. J'ai été charmée par les desserts créatifs, surprenants... next level. Un accord avec l'alcool délicieux suggéré par le service attentionné de l'équipe de ce petit coin caché des vices que nous partageons dans une ambiance feutrée nous invitant à profiter du moment & des saveurs qui s'offrent à nous. Merci!

Desserts magnifiques & délicieux! Vous savez que vous n'avez jamais rien mangé de tel. Chaque texture & saveur (multiples en un seul dessert) ont été pensées avec minutie. Le service, impeccable & chaleureux. Un merci tout spécial à Adélaide qui nous a accueillies & accompagnées tout au long de notre brève aventure de fin de soirée!

La courtoisie des propriétaires & du personnel est remarquable, les snakes délicieux & encor plus les desserts pour lesquels on y était venue en particulier.

This is a lovely bar with a fun atmosphere. The bartender was nice & friendly. Our waiter was also very friendly. The drinks we got were good. The Thai Gin was refreshing. We wanted to try more desserts, but we happened to come during a night for an event called MTL à table. This meant they had a reduced menu. The desserts we got were good, although the shape of the chocolate was questionable. The cheese ice cream on top were also slightly overpowering everything else.

Belle présentation du tartare, sauce inoubliable avec l'omble Chevalier, comme pré dessert la mousse au Pied de vent & se termine en beauté la délicieuse camerise tout en onctuosité Que des éloges pour le service d'Heloïse ainsi que Jarred pour les vins. Une soirée inoubliable. Chapeau & bravo au proprio & tout l'équipe en cuisine 2e visite à l'occasion de Montréal à table 2023 toujours impeccable offrant un menu d'exception. Félicitations à Jarred,sa compagne & toute l'équipe qui continue à nous ont offrir « du délice & du raffinement culinaire » photos à l'appui

Cool place with nice design & furniture, including an outside small terrace. Ambience is ok as well. Food is decent, but nothing crazy. Some dishes were tasteless ( like the arborio rice ), others ok, but not to die for. The only crazy thing is the dessert ( beetroot cake ) in my opinion. & I'm not a big dessert fan. Service was ordinary towards bad. My waitress was bad, but I saw the other ones & they were pretty good, so I won't judge based on mine as it looks like it was her first day at work. For my hungry friends, portions are rather small so you might leave hungry. I recommend you have a small bite before going if you are hungry by default. Good wine list. Some interesting cocktails as well🍸. Verdict : give it a try.

Le menu pour 2 à 118.$ est excellent mais contient un peu trop de desserts pas assez de protéine

An absolute must! Impeccable service, i mentioned that it was my boyfriend's birthday in my reservation & it was so smooth, as soon as they served our dessert they had put a sparkler, it was just so smooth & professional & they treated us like royalty. Shoutout to the kitchen- they did not come here to play, but to slay! Top tier service, bringing everyone i know next time. Thank you Ratafia!

Le "crunchy" en dessert était tout simplement époustoufflant! Le tartare aussi très bien, bon service & belle terrasse.

I know it is a dessert place but I find odd that there are 3 desserts (one half dessert) on the tasting menu. It is a bit much for my liking. Aside from that, everything was wonderful
