Tres bel endroit, on mange peu certes mais les plats sont bons.
Gros bemol pour une des serveuses qui est méprisante & a fait exploser une biere a l'azote sur nous. Aucun geste commercial n'a ete fait malgre cette erreur de debutante... C'est regrettable vu le standing du service.

Mignons de port & Medovik à tomber par terre. Le torta caprese est original, mais pas notre préféré: la garniture manquait de sucre pour nos dents sucrées. Somme toute, nous reviendrons assurément.

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!

Mis à part la musique un peu trop forte, nous avons passé une excellente soirée. Mention spéciale pour la serveuse qui nous a conseillé un excellent vin autrichien !

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

Beaucoup trop bruyant, mais à part cet inconvénient, tout était presque parfait. Il ne faudrait pas hésiter à offrir de petites assiettes pour les plats à partager... c'est pas tout le monde qui est à l'aise de piger dans l'assiette du voisin...

Véritable expérience gastronomique dans une atmosphère conviviale & décontractée. Le personnel super sympathique du Ratafia rends chaque visite mémorable.

Mention spéciale aux accomodements de plats pour les végétariens.

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
