I had dinner last night at Gitanes and the whole experience was amazing from beginning to end. The staff is so professional, the atmosphere is beautiful and intimate, and the food just speaks for itself. Chef Reyes is so talented and surprised me with flavours and presentation. Everything we tried was delicious, plating was beautiful, and it was just a world class experience. Highly recommend.
Amazing atmosphere for a romantic dinner. Took my girlfriend out for Valentine’s Day and loved the vibe. Cozy and yet still fancy. Nevertheless, our experience was tainted by the food. I ordered the burger ($28$) and my girlfriend the Halibut ($52). Both meals tasted like cardboard. There was no taste to the food (could be compared to eating heavy cream). Nevertheless, we blamed the experience on food selection and promised to comes to check to try out other options. But to my surprise the next morning, both my girlfriend and I got hit by a bad case of food poisoning accompanied with projectile vomiting. The only thing that made us feel better was in reading other reviews and realizing that our experience was not singular. This is a shame as it is a beautiful restaurant, but for the price I payed for the food, I expected more than eating “heavy cream”.
Was a fantastic evening. We came for our anniversary and we’re blown away. The atmosphere was beautiful and intimate, The music was superb, and the food was crazy. Even the simple focaccia was out of this world. Our waiter took such amazing care of us. Get the cocktails. They’re all great! Will definitely return.
A delicious new takeout experience for us!The celery root, turning and basting in truffle sauce looked too good not to try. I was a little worried about being able to order gluten-free but Amanda was helpful and assuring. We were so excited to get our takeout bag of a million little sauces and dips with a big pile of cucumber slices in place of pita. The main dish was so savory with a nice balance from the addictive pickles and rice that you never wanna stop eating.
Such a good spot for date night or a night out with friends! Amazing atmosphere inside, staff are attentive and service is great. We’ve also ordered takeout a few times over the pandemic and one time we even had them deliver- food was ah-mazing (you really cannot go wrong with their crab spaghetti and potatoes). So many things to try on their menu, you won’t be disappointed!
I liked the ambiance, the view of the open kitchen, the food, the service and the drinks! I ordered the Steak Frites, and my guest had a couple of apps... We started with Oysters, which were clean and fresh, with just enough sauce. The apps were Coquille St Jacques and an interesting Celery salad. Both delicious, and beautifully presented. The steak was a nicely prepared hanger steak, with a fantastic jus reduction... Service was excellent and the wine pairing recommendation were spot on. A bit too much salt in some dishes for my taste, but that is french cuisine I suppose. We will be back.
A great dining experience in a tucked away location. The service was excellent from the moment you step in and someone takes your jacket, to the moment we left. The menu for entrees isn’t too extensive, but everything was amazing. My friend had the scallop, which was probably the best scallop I’ve had in my life. I had the burger which was great, the charcoal onions tasted amazing. I also tried my friends steak which was my favourite. Our table also tried the spaghetti which was delicious and the mussels, which was a pretty big portion as an app. The ambiance is great with a peak into the kitchen, and many people celebrating or chatting with friends which was nice to see after the pandemic. The restaurant checked for our vaccine status as soon as we entered, which was reassuring. A great night and a great place to eat. Highly recommend.
We visited Gitanes for our anniversary. We were a little confused where it was exactly located since their sign isn’t very obvious considering the signs of their neighbouring restaurants are bigger and brighter.On the inside the space is quite beautiful and intimate. We tried a few dishes: Duck au poivre, seared beef tartare, focaccia, oysters and Pommes frites ( not pictured but came in a huge basket ). We tried an orange wine which was so refreshing, a red wine (Bourgeuil) it was wonderful with the duck dish , crystal dior and nouveau riche. Everything was delectable and enjoyable.
Amazing dinner at a gitanes! Celebrated mine and my mothers birthday tonight, the food was all incredible. Seafood tower is a must! Crab pasta, duck poivre, steak frites, Dover sole, and the tartare were all perfect and would happily order again. Thank you to the entire team for the wonderful service and food!
