Delicious dining experience, the menu tasting was excellent. The more people in the party the more you taste of the menu. Service was great and professional.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Every visit to Gitanes is an experience to remember. No matter the occasion—I'm always reminded why it's one of my favourite restaurants in the city. The atmosphere is warm and elegant, the food consistently exceptional, and the service truly sets the standard for hospitality. Our server on my most recent visit was among the most knowledgeable and professional I've ever had—her wine recommendations, food pairings, and menu insights made the evening even more enjoyable. Gitanes continues to impress with its perfect balance of sophistication, flavour, and genuine care for every guest. Thank you to the entire team for your continued excellence and hospitality.
Très bon restaurant, nous y retournerons certainement ! Nous vins partage les spaghettis au crabe en entrée, et mange le steak frites en plat. Tout était délicieux
The food was great, and service incredible. It was my first time visiting Ottawa, and I was impressed by Gitanes. Thank you.
Food was delicious. We shared the crab spaghetti as an appetizer and we both had the steak frites as a main course . The service was impeccable
We had the most amazing time! We had the food tasting menu along with the wine pairing!! It was all exceptional! Good portion sizes and magnificent flavours. All of the staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly Highly recommended
We knew the food was going to be great but what stood out for us on this latest visit was the outstanding service. They were attentive and went the extra mile to make sure one of our guests with a gluten intolerance was given versions of the apps without gluten - we didn't even ask for this! It was a welcome touch. We're already planning our next visit.
"An Unforgettable Celebration!" We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire Gitane staff for making our daughter's 19th birthday dinner truly unforgettable. From start to finish, the evening was absolutely perfect! The meal was flawless—each dish was expertly prepared, with incredible flavors and beautiful presentation. We were all blown away by the quality of the food. The highlight of the evening was the Baked Alaska, which the chef personally brought to our table and lit on fire—what a spectacular touch that made the night even more special! The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a family celebration. We couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. Thank you so much to the entire team for making this a memorable occasion. We will definitely be returning and will recommend your restaurant to everyone!
Outstanding! The food is amazing! We had escargots, spaghetti, and foccacia, steak and burger and everything was so delicious! generous portions, tasty and fresh! this is the best dinner we had in many years! Attentive and friendly service, we highly recommend this restaurant and can not wait to be back! Thank you to the team!

Impressive service from sommelier and waiter. Excellent food and ambience. We totally enjoyed our evening.
Gitaines is hands down my favourite Ottawa restaurant! The staff are lovely, the service is always excellent and the food, wine and cocktails are divine. Thank you for another great night!
Great food, great service! Gitanes does an awesome job making sure you feel taken care of. Thank you to our server last night for taking care of us.
By far one of my best dining experiences. Amazing food and exceptional service. They really understand service and think of all the little things- continuing filling your water glass, fresh utensils/plates, fold you napkin, wipe messes on table. Everyone cares about the experience. A special shout out to Bernard the sommelier!
The tasting menu with wine pairing was way overpriced for what we got. We spent almost $600, and the service was not great. On top of that, the noise level was uncomfortably loud. Very disappointing overall — we will not be coming back.
