Cafe Gigu

Ordered an octopus salad, a ceviche and a side of tostones. They charged me $6 and added TWO tostones in a small container and the whole meal was $40+ which I find ridiculous for the snack size portion they gave us. 2 tostones for $6 is not a side, that's robbery. I asked for a manager to call me back and I never received a call to discuss this matter. Will not be buying from here again.

Really cute little lounge that's open late and has surprisingly delicious food! We arrived around midnight and we're promptly seated and the waitress was very attentive. The caprese panini was so hot and tasty, the balsamic vinegar made the sandwich! We also ordered a passion fruit mojito (not pictured) and we were super happy with all of our offerings!

Their drinks are good, atmosphere is lovely. Not going to lie, it looks a little dingy on the outside, but as soon as you go in the atmosphere is pretty cozy feeling. I personally think the customer service is a little meh, but it's more like it's neither good nor bad - basically it doesn't stand out haha But, their tiramisu is GOOD. So if you are going there, definitely check that off of the dessert menu. I've had it twice already and urgh, already want to go back for a 3rd.

Excellent cream cheese wontons with salmon. The Hawaiian sandwich is also amazing. This is a cozy place for a date.

One of my favorite places to eat. Love the small plates which are delicious and the drinks are always good as well.

This place is actually really cute. The drinks were yummy and strong so they definitely come packed with a punch. My friend had a baileys infused coffee that was actually warm. The Cuban sandwich was great and also the Chicken empanadas had a twist that I really enjoyed. The waitress was very nice and the place was very clean.

Cafe Gigu is a hidden gem in Eastie that has become my go to for cocktails when I'm in the area. I've been here several times during the week for drinks. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, and I love the Latin music. They have a ton of cocktails to choose from with something for everyone's taste. My favorite is the Tiramisu Martini - its topped with cinnamon which is a great touch. Drinks are consistently well made and the bartenders are always friendly and quick. I've also been here during the day alone for lunch. I was in east boston and needed a place with wifi to get some work done. The cozy armchairs, free wifi, and the sangria (I had to try a glass.. Or two...) made for a perfect place to work. I ordered a panini and enjoyed it. Will be back soon for dinner!

My new favorite bar in the area! I was recommended this place by an eastie native and was not disappointed. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, with dim lighting and latin music playing. The cocktail menu is extensive, creative, and reasonably priced. The passionfruit mojito is very good- you can taste the fresh mint. I went with 2 friends and we split three plates for dinner: a Cuban panini, tequeños, and chicken empanadas. All were delicious, the empanadas were the star. The filling was flavorful and the creamy avocado dipping sauce was great. New favorite spot in eastie!

Really good food and great ambiance and okay staff, I will be returning back here , good small place to go to

Stopped in after a flight at Logan (I was picking people up) was seriously delayed due to storms. The service was amazing: I ran in really just needing a break, the bartender was really understanding. I just ordered the passion fruit mousse, he gave me a glass of water, respected my timeframe (flight landed while I sat at the bar), and was genuinely kind. Oh, and the mousse was mindbogglingly delicious! I definitely want to go back!
