Echoes of Ottolenghi
Gitane is an all-day eatery for those who want good food without unnecessary fuss. The cuisine is rooted in the Mediterranean, with influences reaching from southern Europe to India—echoes of Ottolenghi, where Greek chef and owner Angelo Kremmydas previously worked. Seasonal produce takes the lead, while less common ingredients quietly find their way into the menu. The result is colorful, flavor-packed dishes, tamed by a more restrained presentation. Natural wines accompany the food, most of them fresh and light, tuned to match the intensity of the cooking.
