Si on pouvait mettre 10 étoiles, c'est ce que le Ratafia mériterait. Une table qui n'a rien à envier aux grands restos de la métropole. Un service toujours aussi impeccable et le choix de vins qu'ils proposent pour accompagner les plats nous amène carrément ailleurs. Une expérience qui nous sort des sentiers battus. Et à chaque fois qu'on quitte, on a déjà hâte à notre prochaine visite.

Cette soirée était incroyable, tant par le menu que par l’accord mets-vins. Notre serveuse à réussi à faire en sorte que notre expérience soit encore plus agréable et satisfaisante, ce qui était un réel défi tant tout était parfait. Merci aussi aux personnes en charge des cocktails , un vrai délice (nous avons pris un martini expresso & Mexican mule) .
C’est la deuxième fois que nous venons pour la saint Valentin et il est clair que nous reviendrons pour cette occasion ou une autre.

My partner and I went for Valentine’s Day and this place was disappointing. The service was great and the decor is nice but we did not like the food. First we were quite surprised to see that there was no protein option, especially since the menu is $75 per person. Otherwise the food was hit and miss with some good dishes and others being confusing and off-putting. Especially the blondie with grilled quinoa which was quite disgusting and unpleasant. For a tasting menu there was little continuity in terms of flavor which ended up leaving us confused rather than satisfied. Maybe the food is better with a different tasting menu but what we got was underwhelming. Will not be going back.

Toujours une aussi incroyable expérience au Ratafia. Nous étions au bar, comme souvent et le service est vraiment exceptionnel.
Les propositions de vin pour accompagner sont toujours justes et les plats d’une très grande qualité.
Finalement la dynamique de l’équipe en place donne une très bonne ambiance au restaurant. Longue vie au Ratafia!

Third time, still awesome. The one downside is having to choose between the menu. Everything is excellent from the drinks (even the virgin cocktails) to the mains, the bread and desserts. We’ll have to muster up the hunger to come do the tasting menu. Fantastic

I have endless thanks for Ratafia. I made a reso for my wife's 40th bday for her and her friend for a dessert tasting menu (I was not present). Spoke with the team ahead who were amazing and helped plan out a successfully delicious evening. Chef even made some special concessions for the evening. I was able to connect with them to pay for the bill without my wife having to even see it. Flawless food, service, execution and hospitality. Hopefully one day I get to experience what my wife did.
THANK YOU RATAFIA FAMILY!
