Review Summary

Café Gitana is widely regarded as a unique destination in Montreal that combines the atmosphere of a traditional cafe with the sophistication of a cigar and hookah lounge. Visitors frequently praise the cozy, warm, and immersive environment, which is often enhanced by live music and an oriental inspired aesthetic that makes guests feel at home. While many reviewers highlight the high quality of the drinks, cigars, and overall hospitality provided by the friendly staff, some patrons have expressed frustration regarding billing transparency and perceived overcharging for certain beverage items. Despite these inconsistencies in service and pricing, the majority of guests appreciate the relaxed energy of the establishment, making it a recurring favorite for those looking to unwind in a distinct setting.

Café Gitana has been my go-to place for the past five years, & it never disappoints. Whether you visit on a weekday or during the weekend, the atmosphere is always warm, cozy, & welcoming. They regularly have live music that creates the perfect ambiance for a relaxing evening. The drinks are excellent, the cigars are top quality, & the service is consistently outstanding. The staff always makes you feel at home. If you're looking for a classy place to unwind with friends, I highly recommend Café Gitana. Looking forward to many more great evenings here!

Excellent spot, nice hookah, great cigars & drinks all in one. Great ambiance & live music as well. Staff was friendly & a big shoutout to Ceaser who took care of us. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area!

Pretty disappointing experience. We ordered two lemonades that were listed as $4.95 on the menu. The waitress asked if we wanted'house or bottle,' & we said house, thinking it was just the regular option. Turns out they charged us $14 each with zero warning about the price difference.
On top of that, they added a $5 charge per person for live music, which no one mentioned when we walked in.
We ended up paying $43 after tax for two lemonades… which is honestly ridiculous. It's a scam & wouldn't come back.

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.

I've come to this place often & have always had a nice experience. Great atmosphere, authentic live music & tasty food & drink. I don't smoke cigars, so I can't review them on that. Otherwise awesome place with an exotic flair!

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.
