- SSamuel TerenceOttawa •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoI am a frequent solo diner and Gitanes is a place to get a wonderful dinner after a day of grinding! Hanger cut on the Steak Frites was amazing even with my “well-done” choice. The White Bronco was a refreshing cocktail and it definitely reminded me of acquitting things if they do not fit. The Sorbet was a nice dessert after feeling lethargic from the good food and good service. 5 big booms! 💥💥💥💥💥More infoGitanesPrice: Very Expensive• French• Downtown•4.8

- JJenniferMontreal / Quebec •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoWow ~ fondue night was super popular and for good reason ! The staff have this down to a fine art ~ making this a wonderful evening. We had reservations for 5:30 and got there a bit early which ensured that we were able to take advantage of Happy Hour ! We got a bottle of wine for half price to accompany our fondue meal. We opted for the fixed $69/person and found it was very worth it. Cheese fondue followed by a beef fondue and crowned with a lavish chocolate fondue. A classy evening that was fun ~ yes, totally delightful. I particularly liked that they dimmed the lights in increments throughout the evening ~ attention to detail. Wonderful service. Would highly recommend.More infoAbsinthe Cafe Resto BarPrice: Expensive• French• Downtown•4.5
