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.

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.
