I had an amazing night last night at Ratafia! Customer service was attentive & unpretentious. We got some great food & wine recommendations from our waiter, Jared( also part owner!). The food is absolutely delicious & the plating is stunning-just like the décor. My friend has a nut & sesame allergy, & they were very accommodating for that too! Want to have a great night with girls? This is the place. Want to have a cozy date night? Also the place. There are so many restaurants & bars in Montréal but if you are picky on quality like me, this place will not disappoint. I can not say enough great things & will definitely be back!

Among the best desserts I've ever had! We always go back to Ratafia & it's always amazing.
Impeccable service, great wine & cocktails. Perfect for a date or fun times with friends. Try the red bubbly from Italy, any chocolate dessert & the bombe.
