Review Summary

Café Gitana serves as a unique cultural hub in Montreal, celebrated for its cozy, oriental-inspired ambiance, live music, and status as a destination for cigar and hookah enthusiasts. Many guests appreciate the authentic atmosphere, welcoming staff, and the variety of teas and beverages that complement the lounge experience. While the venue is frequently praised for its immersive decor and ability to provide a relaxing escape, consistency in service and pricing remains a point of contention for some. Recent feedback suggests that while the location holds significant charm and appeal for social gatherings, experiences can vary regarding the quality of refreshments and the attentiveness of the team.

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.

Here they serve only one flavour of sheesha & that also in magic coal, if you ask for coconut (natural)coal, it will take more than 15 minutes. It's not too tidy place, service was slow. Overall the experience was okay!!!

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!

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.
