Menu dégustation vendredi soir en amoureux par un froid glacial. L'ambiance nous a réchauffé, Jared & Mike nous ont fait découvrir de superbes accords & de nouveaux vins, comme à chaque visite. 🍷🍷 Notre coup de coeur de la soirée, c'est le nouveau Tartare de boeuf au menu ! Différent du classique, version jamais vue, les saveurs sont au rendez-vous ! 🤩🤩 Que ce soit dans le salé ou dans le sucré, des plats jamais vus, des saveurs qui se mêlent bien & qui nous font faire le tour du monde, c'est l'essence même du Ratafia ! 😋😋🤩❣️

Excellent service! Nous avons reçu de merveilleux conseils pour le vin & la nourriture. Nous avions des allergies alimentaires & nous n'avons eu aucun problème & avons été conseiller sur les plats à prendre selon nos limitations. Ambiance merveilleuse, bref nous avons eu une très belle soirée!

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.

The food was incredible! The staff were attentive, exactly how you would want (not annoying lol)

Don't be worried about the small potions, it takes your stomach 20 minutes to tell the brain it's full, this restaurant times their food to perfection so that you realize you are full by the time dessert comes.

Such a perfect way to celebrate a birthday. Thank you
