I'm from Montreal but now living in NS. My friends from Philadelphia were over for a week and we decided to go to Ratinaud for some cheese. The girl who served us was not friendly at all. When asked to taste the St Agur cheese, she cut a big slice, weighed it, priced it and then gave a small piece to my friend. Basically, she sold a taste sample to my friend.
We were outraged; at any other cheese store, if you ask for a sample, they gladly give you a small sample. We ended up spending only $70 then we went to the Italian Market store and spend over $100 on cheeses

Not to be dramatic, but their rotisserie chicken and potatoes au gratin that I bought and took home to eat, is one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I will no longer be able to eat any other rotisserie chicken, as nowhere else compares. The cheese selection is fantastic (I’m a sucker for Comte cheese and theirs did not disappoint). Will 100% be going back.

We bought all our charcuterie and cheese for our wedding from Ratinaud and everything was incredibly delicious! Great customer service, and amazing selection.

Very nice selection of cheese.

Worst cured chorizo sausage ever. So salty that we had to throw it out and the manager didn’t care.

We went to try some cheeses and sausages. After inspection, by far the best place where you can buy cured sausages and a fantastic selection of cheeses, there is a kitchen, but I have not yet had the opportunity to try what they cook there. We bought fresh sausages for grilling, they are fantastic, excellent composition and taste. Probably one of the few stores that sells blood sausage, for which special thanks! The service was very pleasant, everything was explained and explained, and everything was done at the best level. Excellent dried duck fillet, in a word, you need to come here many more times to try everything

Awesome products but every time I go there its a bummer dealing with the lady at the counter- always feels like she would prefer not to have to deal with humans- what could be such a fun discovery turns into me apologizing for disturbing her as I spend $200 ??♂️?

The saucisson sec here is incredible. If you know the smell and taste of a real saucisson sec from France, you'll be very happy. I've been living in Canada for over 20 years and I've never had one come close to the real thing until now.The cheese selection is incredible, reasonably priced, and the house made paté is unreal. You can't go wrong.You'll spend more than you intend to, and when you get home and give everything a try, you'll have zero regrets.
Really upsetting experience. Nice shop with good looking products, but the attendant was inexplicably hostile when I asked for reccomendations despite being the only customers there at the time. It was really uncomfortable. We won't be back.

Would be a standout cheese/charcuterie spot in any city in the world. Don’t sleep on the prepared food options and the baked goods.
