Ratafia on Saint-Laurent Street was an outstanding experience from start to finish.

The space is charming & inviting, the service is warm & polished, & the food is both delicious & creative. We opted for the tasting menu, & every course was beautifully executed. The wine pairings were also very well done & complemented the dishes perfectly.

What truly made the evening special was the service. Our waitress was exceptional-genuinely warm, attentive, & welcoming. I only wish I knew her name so her outstanding work could be properly recognized.

The value is remarkable for the quality offered. The pricing is very fair & almost feels like a bargain for such a refined & memorable experience. Ratafia is a place that reminds you why dining out can be so special.

They didn't honour my the seats I booked at reservation, the food was really just ok (under seasoned), the servers were very nice but didn't know much about wine.

I discovered this place thanks to Andrée-Anne, who gives an amazing wine workshop at ITHQ & highly recommended it.
The dessert & wine pairing here is truly exceptional, each bite elevated by the perfectly chosen glass.
Flavors are balanced with care, showing real expertise & creativity.
The staff explains each pairing with passion, making the experience even more memorable.

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.

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!

The physical space is what you first notice, the art deco decor, soft lighting & great music all beckon you to come in. Ordering wine is a trip across the wine world, through the extremely knowledgeable sommelier. His stories of wine regions are captivating. We chose to come for dessert paired with wine. Not only is the presentation artful but the taste is out of this world. The combinations of original ingredients , those of which you would not expect to eat together, make sense after the first bite. We were blown away. I can hardly wait to return for dinner next time.
