L'ambiance était bonne, le serveur très gentil par contre un thé à la menthe pour 9.35$ c'est du vol ! On m'a chargé 8$ pour le thé & 1.25$ pour la menthe... ridicule ! Quand je vais dans un café ou une shisha jamais de ma vie on m'a chargé pour de la menthe bref je n'y retournerai pas

Definitely one of my go to spots.

2025 UPDATE
I used to love Café Gitana & even left a great 5 star review a while back, but things have really taken a downturn.
The cocktails are no longer up to par, flat, watered down, & just not crafted with the same care. The tea, which used to be a standout, has lost its quality too, bland & forgettable now.
Service has become painfully slow, like they're running with minimal staff. The hookah is also disappointing lately, poorly made & they no longer offer flavor options, which takes away from the experience entirely. It's unfortunate to see a place that once had so much charm drop in consistency & quality.

Day or night, this place has an air of allure & escape.
Lots of different comfy spaces to settle into.
The live music heightened the atmosphere & made the night feel special. (jazz manouche feat. a bewitching violinist & keyboardist)
People smoking their cigars against the backdrop of the café's intimately lit, middle eastern decor transports you to a different universe.

Cafe gitana was a vibe!! Loved the energy, the live band & belly dancing were amazing! You get 3 floors.
First floor - is more chill they have the bar & I saw some people bringing their laptop to work & some were playing cards. Upon leaving we saw a small band playing some trumpet
Middle floor - more chill just sitting & smoking sisha
Basement - they had piano & violin playing downstairs.
2 downside, 1. the place is a little small so it feels crowded. We went Saturday night it was packed we didn't have reservations but we got seated pretty fast. 2, drinks didn't taste like it had any liquor to it. I got a mojito & it just stated like mint with water.
Sushi was also good (I was told that they don't do any flavor) it was packed good & they also gave unlimited charcoal to refill which was a plus!
0verall, I'll give it 4/5 & will definitely come back.

Cafe Gitana has become one of my favourite places in Montreal. The environment is so relaxing & it really helps you get out of the everyday routine.
You have a wide selection of cigars & delicious teas & cocktails. They also offer hookahs.
They often have live music & every time it has been super great. It really adds to the concept & the ambiance of the place. Specially while enjoying a cocktail & a cigar. It's really a vibe.
The waiters are super nice & helpful. They took the time to explain the menu to us & give us good recommendations.
The only thing I would change about the place is that sometimes I would like to have a small food menu too to come with the tea. I could see myself enjoying some cookies or a small muffin. Also I would maybe add some new teas to the menu. Maybe special items you could taste only in some months of the year idk.
This place is awesome, you must visit it if you come to Montreal.

Le café à une ambiance authentique & relaxante. Le service est excellent & les employés ont toujours le sourire aux lèvres. Parfait pour aller entre amis. Les show de musique rendent l'expérience encore plus spéciale! Je vais retourner définitivement!

Très original. Ça put la fumée mais je ne savais pas que c'était une café cigar.
