Best Family Style Restaurants in ByWard Market

10/10 experience - this was my first time at Gitanes and it was great. Food was exceptional, service was lovely, and vibes were cozy & secluded. Ottawa gem!

Good food and good service. As the evening progressed, the noise level was really intense so not a great date night place when you want to talk. The food was tastefully prepared and served and overall was a pleasant experience. I would return but perhaps not for a date night when you are getting to know the other person.

Beautiful delicious food. Every bite was wonderful. Cozy and fun atmosphere. Our server had such a great knowledge of the wine and food pairings. A “must” if you live in Ottawa.

You will not regret this dining experience. It is absolutely sublime. The food is so delicious. The flavours are both unexpected and perfectly melted together to make every bite perfection. I like to go early to have a quieter dining experience, but it’s very exciting when it gets filled up and all the delicious smells are lingering in the air. The Pisco sour is perfection and I personally recommend a glass of rosé. The staff is friendly and excited about the food,drinks, and most importantly your experience. 11/10

Wonderful surprise! This small restaurant has fantastic food, highly recommended the Mushroom dish with Lion’s Mane mushrooms! Also, the twist on Trini Doubles were amazing! Adam at the bar made a wonderful cocktail based on our likes and dislikes and was a great host! Nothing but superlatives.
