Ratinaud French Cuisine wows customers with cured meats, cheeses and pâtés, prepared dishes and cheeses, conserves and other accompaniments. Frederic Tandy was born in France and grew up eating his grandparent’s paté de campagne or country paté. Now he makes his own patés and other charcuterie, including sausages and more. Frederic’s food is inspired by the seasons and by what’s available locally. Products are handmade at the shop at 2157 Gottingen Street in Halifax. “We’re proud to be using as many ingredients from Nova Scotia as possible. We see our specialty shop as more than just an authentic charcuterie. It’s a mission we invite you to share.”
