Ratafia on Saint-Laurent Street was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The space is charming and inviting, the service is warm and polished, and the food is both delicious and creative. We opted for the tasting menu, and every course was beautifully executed. The wine pairings were also very well done and complemented the dishes perfectly. What truly made the evening special was the service. Our waitress was exceptional—genuinely warm, attentive, and 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 and almost feels like a bargain for such a refined and memorable experience. Ratafia is a place that reminds you why dining out can be so special.

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

On a strong recommendation from our friends who had a magnificent dining experience.. the vegetable and dessert forward menu was eclectic, creative and extremely well executed. As there were so many interesting offerings on your menu we decided to participate in the carte blanche menu. They selected five outstanding starters machines and desserts that showcased their skill and creative use of fresh seasonal ingredients. The beauty of the menu and the pacing of the meal is that by the time dessert arrived, we had just enough room after the pallet cleanser to hit the highlight of the evening! It was a steady growing crescendo of flavor all evening long! Service from our server Camille was absolutely outstanding. She was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We had an amazing experience and look forward to coming back again in the near future! Highly recommended!

Very nice place. I absolutely recommend their agnolotti (pasta) plate as well as their chocolate mousse. However, I feel that meals/appetizers were way too salty + my partner had the duck and really did not like it. I would still go back and 100% recommend.

Great small restaurant, perfect for a date night. Almost every table was full. We sat at the bar and 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 and fantastic service. Definitely going back again soon.
