A really nice spot for a late-night drink. The receptionist was welcoming. The waitress who served us was so enthusiastic & friendly. The drinks were delicious as well. We really recommend this place.

I had my visit Yesterday night. It was a very nice place with excellent service starting from the host to waiters then the chef.
Very cozy with nice vibes & elegant. Very good collection of cocktails & drinks. Only wish if they had more food options (I had brioche, it was amazing & rolled shrimps which was very delicious & elegant) - I would like to thank the chef for her cooking & obviously she is passionate since she was keen explaining her dish & how it is cooked.

the food presentation is 5 stars indeed - I had a good time over-there & will definitely repeat my visit.

Food was served with great flavour, but not enough portions. Long wait between courses. Drink were fine but not special. we loved the lamb but the rest were medicore as the ingredients didnt justify the price.

Delicious menu. Of the 6 dishes in the tasting menu 3 were dessert which may or may not be your thing. Extremely small portions so would be ideal if you are having a few alcoholic drinks- without drinks I felt a bit hungry after several courses which has never happened to me with a tasting menu. Still the food was great & it wasn't THAT expensive for the work that goes into the food. Will go back

Food was good, recommendations were good & the service was good until they cleared my drink when I went to the bathroom

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.

Me & my wife stumbled upon this place after dinner & decided to grab a night cap & dessert. This place did not disappoint.

Great service, atmosphere, dessert & drinks!

Will 100% come back but for dinner.

My wife & I hadn't had a night out with just the two of us in over a year since before the birth of our 3rd child. So we were looking for a place for a truly special evening, with amazing food & where you can feel the warmth & care of the staff. They did NOT disappoint & we held up our part by drinking, eating, appreciating & tipping generously. It was a totally magical night for us & absolutely reminded us why we love each other so much. Thank you Sophie! Thank you Ratafia!

This was my second time at Ratafia, & it was just as incredible as the first time. I travel to Montreal for business about twice a year, & this has become a staple spot I will visit every single time I'm in town. I came alone the first time, brought coworkers the second time, & will continue bringing as many people as I can to discover this gem! The desserts are stunning in presentation & taste, the food & drinks are delicious, & they even have non-alcoholic cocktails! Every dish has amazing attention to detail with textures, layered tastes, etc. Just fantastic.

Nice place. Good ambiance. I had the meat & cheese platter. Nothing exciting. I also had the chocolate éclair dessert. It looked nice but the taste wasn't so great. The alcohol was good & so was the service. I would probably come back for drinks only.
