    We went to Bar Gigi for my birthday and the entire evening was exceptional. The room is small and intimate but has so much charm and fun energy. Music was loud but perfectly matched for the vibe and it all came together for such an awesome ambience. Service was excellent, specials and the menu were explained clearly but no stuffiness or uptight servers, again, just chill and a great vibe. Glass pours were on point, a small selection to go with the small room and limited space but the options were clearly well curated to complement the dishes on a small but focused menu. Every dish we had was a 10. Of course prawn toast was the winner, I could live on that, but execution on each dish was beautiful. The desserts were out of this world and such a great note to finish on. Well worth the wait to get a reservation and this team is clearly very deserving of their top 100 placing!

    From the exciting moment of walking in, to the not so exciting moment of walking out, Bar Gigi was magical. Service, food and atmosphere was nothing short of perfect. THANK YOU Bar Gigi for an incredible experience!

    Had a lovely experience here. Every morsel of food consumed during this visit was unique and delicious. Service was examplary - from their recommendations on menu choices to their attention to detail. Stellar wine list. Well worth the wait for a reservation.

    The food was delicious, drinks were tasty and the service was great. The fried boconccini, prawn toast and charred cabbage were my favourites.

    We were very excited to try this restaurant. Our party of 4 arrived a few minutes early and our table wasn’t ready so we received a glass of Prosecco while we waited which was nice. Our waitress was very outgoing and service was great. The crispy sunchokes were delicious as well as the feature pasta. Prawn toast was great. The beef ribs had good flavour but were difficult to eat and share even though we put two orders in for 4 of us. There was barely any food! The pork was cooked just right and there was enough to share this time. We opted out of dessert as we didn’t feel it was worth it. To be frank, the food was wonderful but the quantity was lacking. Paying $30 for 8 small (but delicious) pieces of pasta didn’t leave our group feeling content. We have eaten at many high end restaurants in Calgary (Ten Foot Henry, Salt and Brick, Major Tom’s, Rouge and Pizza Culture just to name a few this past 6 months) and sadly likely will not recommend Bar Gigi restaurant for the value factor.

    Had a great first date here last night. It's an intimate spot that's cozy and small. Tons of mood lighting sets the vibes. I wonder what they do with the huge patio in the summer. We ordered a few dishes to share: Hamachi Scallops in crudo, yuzu kosho and lime Beef Rib in this sick semi-sweet sauce Spaghetti 🍝 with duck confit The scallops and beef dishes were amazing. Would order each of them again. The spaghetti dish was good but didn't love it as much. We also each got one drink. The bill was ~$120 with a tip. Felt fair as service was good and attentive.
