Gitanes - Ottawa

The place was absolutely amazing. The food was great, but the people and ambience was even better. Amanda was the coolest and James gave us great recommendations. Will be back! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I visited Gitanes a while ago and found the restaurant to be wonderful for solo dining or in a group. The service was commendable, though I would advise making a reservation a few days beforehand. As for the food. I opted for the French Onion Soup and Steak Frites: French Onion Soup: Stood out the most and the soup alone makes the trip worth it. Its richness unfolded in multiple layers of texture and flavour. The onions imparted a pleasant spiciness, complemented by the cheese topping, while additional elements such as tomatoes and vegetables provided varying crunches. The bread soaked up the flavorful broth, and the addition of bone marrow elevated the richness to another level. Steak Frites: Was perfectly cooked to a medium rare. The accompanying sauce added an extra dimension, with its slight acidity cutting through any potential greasiness from the steak. However, it's worth noting that certain parts of the cut were a bit chewy, so it might not have been the prime selection. The fries were skinny, crunchy, and generally good. The overall experience was highly satisfying. I strongly recommend a visit, particularly to savour their French Onion Soup, and I would rate my experience a 9.5/10.

First time dining at gitanes and no regrets, I believe our servers name was Anna , very pleasant and professional! Chef was gracious and very informative regarding our diner! Will definitely go back : Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

One of the more exceptional dining experiences I have had. Food and wine were fantastic. Notably the crab pasta, pork chop, and foie gras ice cream sundae are dishes that should not be missed. Above all, the attention to detail by the service team at Gitanes is elite. Kind, attentive and highly intelligent about their offering. Don’t hesitate to make that reservation, Gitanes hits the mark across the board. Service: Dine in
