Review Summary

Overall, Café Gitana is described as a cozy, authentic Turkish-Middle Eastern vibe with live music that elevates the experience and makes it feel like an escape, especially on evenings with belly dancing and intimate decor. The venue is repeatedly praised for its cigars, shisha and tea, with friendly and attentive service cited by many, though several reviews note occasional slow service and pricing or transparency issues on drinks and tea. Shisha quality is variable, with some patrons enjoying long-lasting sessions and others frustrated by limited flavors or coal options, while cocktails and teas sometimes fall short or feel overpriced. The place is regarded as a go-to spot for a relaxed night out and as a standout for its atmosphere and entertainment, despite crowding on busy nights and occasional inconsistencies in food and drink offerings.

L'ambiance était bonne - mais la shisha que nous avons eu n'avait aucun tabac...ce qui est vraiment frustrant considérant le prix que nous avons payé.

Belle ambiance, mais grosse déception. Mon chum & moi prenons une shisha avec des boissons sans alcool affichées à 5 $ soit le thé glacé & la limonade. Le serveur nous propose le thé glacé maison à la pomme & la limonade maison : on accepte, sans savoir qu'on allait payer 10 $ & 14,50 $ pour… une poche de thé & du jus de citron. Aucune mention du prix triplé, aucune transparence. Sérieusement, 15 $ pour une limonade, c'est à se demander si on vient pas de se faire avoir.

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

Cozy cigar bar with shisha. Excellent service, I had a very nice waitress. The Turkish tea (with mint) was great, tasted authentic & the tea cup is definitely authentically Turkish. The shisha lasted a while & had a nice pull.

Good shisha bar.
Not really have terrace but downstairs is big windows open & it give terrace vibe. Price is normal.
Shisha not have any flavor, it law in Québec.

Quite good! The shishas were nice, however I would've appreciated more flavors. Maybe it was just a one time thing or a new law passed in Canada to ban flavors. Nice lounge, very relaxing! Great place to chill with friends instead of casual bars.

Bon endroit pour prendre un verre, une shisha ou un thé, mais l'aération est à améliorer ! L'odeur de fumée reste imprégnée, même sur les vêtements. Un extracteur d'air serait une bonne idée.
