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.

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!

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.
