    Everything was excellent. My vodka negroni was one of the best. My wife's gluten-free options were addressed to her great satisfaction. The octopus was grilled to perfection and fabulous never-heard-of veggies. Would be proud to bring my Montreal frieds to Fauna anytime.

    I 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! 💥💥💥💥💥
