Nous avons passé une super belle soirée au Ratafia. L'ambiance est super cool & la nourriture est excellente. Les plats sont très bien réfléchis & sont remplis de bonnes saveurs. Aussi, la serveuse connaissait très bien ces plats & nous a proposé des excellents accords mets vin. Je recommande fortement.

Not only is the food absolutely delicious & beautifully presented, but each bite is a discovery of new flavors. The service was the best I've experienced in Montreal, with staff attentive to every need. An amazing culinary experience overall!

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.

I add their fall inspired dessert with the wine pairing & it was delicious. It was a apple rosette with a roasted parsnip in the middle as a suprise on top of a caky cookie with an apple compoty sauce, a white sauce to drizzle as you want & toasted nuts/seeds for some crushiness. A delite! I will definitely be back.

Great small restaurant, perfect for a date night. Almost every table was full. We sat at the bar & were pleased to find there were backs on the stools. We did the tasting menu; it was delicious. The black cod was perfect. The desserts were what really blew us away. Great wine selection & fantastic service. Definitely going back again soon.

N'hésitez surtout pas, si vous êtes deux (ou un nombre pair) à prendre le menu dégustation à partager. Vous serez à même de le constater, 125$/deux est une aubaine pour la grande qualité de la cuisine & l'excellent service. Très belle découverte. Je récidiverai sans retenue. Magnifique repas, service sympathique & attentionné sans toutefois se sentir envahi 😀. Merci pour cet excellent souvenir!!!

Très belle découverte! Service impeccable. Nous étions un groupe de 6 à essayer le menu dégustation & nous avons même commandé de plats en extra pour pouvoir goûter encore plus de variété. Les plats y sont excellents. Les cocktails aussi étaient très bons. Leur pain brioché est à essayer absolument!

We had a romantic weekend in Montreal planned & wanted a special restaurant experience. My husband found this gem. We were intrigued by the menu & how desserts were different & varied. This was by far the best meal we've had in years! The attention to detail in each dish, each wine glass pairing suggestion or cocktail is perfect. The tasting menu is incredible! The staff is attentive & kind. The decor is sexy & beautiful. The music was great. We had a wonderful evening & will make the trip back as often as possible! Thank you Sandra & Jared for making us feel so welcome & for sharing your passion!

We came for the tasting menu & after reading many good reviews we had high expectations, unfortunately both the food & service were a let down. There were one or two dishes worth coming for: mostly the mushroom pasta. But everything else was very under seasoned. The cheese course was extremely disappointing it was basically a house made ricotta which was very bland & all one note. We needed to stop for food on our way back as were left very unfulfilled. The menu seemed to leave a lot to be desired & I'm not sure why you would end a tasting the way it was left. The service was rushed & we didn't really feel welcomed. The presentation & ambience was the only saving grace. Maybe I would come back for a cocktail & snack.
