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.

Des créations dignes d'une médaille en or !!! une expérience unique !!!! La passion Des chefs se voit à travers les desserts. Chaque détail du plat démontre une créativité qui dépasse nos attentes. Le mariage des saveurs est sublime. Être capable de faire ressortir autant de saveurs dans un même plat... c'est un exploit !!!

Ratafia!!
Quelle merveille!
Enfin, un bar à desserts à Montréal. & pas n'importe quels desserts. Chacun des desserts est unique. La combinaison des textures, des saveurs, des couleurs, des ingrédients!!! Wow
Tout un voyage culinaire. J'ai presque envie de ne pas le recommander afin de garder ce petit bijou pour moi!!!!
Allez-y, allez-y.
& que dire de leurs vins!! Des découvertes.
D'ailleurs j'y ai goûté une liqueur de Sureau!! Du pur délice (une importation).
Félicitations à toute l'équipe, un service de qualité, & merci.
