Je ne suis jamais déçue quand je vais au ratafia. Les assiettes sont toujours extrêmement raffinées & subtiles. Les chefs nous font découvrir des associations parfois étonnantes mais qui marchent du feu de dieu. C'est toujours un vrai délice pour les papilles. Le service est impeccable. Les serveurs ont toujours le sourire & de bonnes recommandations & c'est une des rares places ou les mocktails valent les cocktails ! Quand au lieu dans un style art déco & une ambiance intimiste, il est juste magique. De tout Montréal, le ratafia est mon restaurant préféré & celui que je peux recommander à tout le monde les yeux fermés.

Very impressed with this place! We tried the arctic char, cavatelli, & duck. All were superb & would highly recommend. The cavatelli was a little salty, but this could come down to personal preference.

We couldn't have been happier to share a Valentine's Day meal at this cozy wine bar. The meal was inventive, delicious. The servers were attentive & warm. The decor was beautiful. Highly recommend.

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.

Nous avons passé, un très bon moment, le repas était excellent, les plats élaborés réalisés à partir de produits locaux. Les serveurs étaient vraiment très sympathiques & professionnels. Le seul point qui pourrait être à améliorer est la longueur du service entre les plats (mais peut-être que nous n'avons pas eu de chance). A part cela, tout était parfait, on recommande & on reviendra!
