Gypsy Cafe

Great food with great vibe. Very international menu and pretty much everything made from scratch. Would recommend!

Very unique food. Loved this place. Would have loved to try all of their entrees but not enough time for that. Had a chance to try the Peruvian Chicken and the fajitas as well as deserts like the Canadian sugar pie and the mascarpone cake. Definitely have desert with Tea — they have such a unique way to serve tea — I won’t spoil it for you — find out for yourself. Great place to go but call before you arrive because they are usually packed between 6pm — 7:30pm and request reservations.

Such a creative menu! From quesdillas to roasted brussel sprouts to bacon cheese bites with a mango fondue. We wanted to make it back for another meal before we left but we’re unable. Spectacular service and scrumptious food. Very unique, interesting décor. Highly recommend!

OMG! WHAT A GREAT MENU!!!
this was our first time coming to this restaurant, first time in this area.
what a great selection on their menu. if you enjoy fresh, very flavorful and satisfying meals from different parts of the world this is the place to go. from the apps to main course on to dessert you will absolutely find something scrumptious to tickle your taste buds. perfectly sized portions so you can have a little of everything without breaking the bank or undoing your belt :)
this is a mandatory do over! nice job gypsy café, we’ll be back!!! ;P

Gypsy Café is great. We stop here every year during our annual ski trip to Loon. The owner, as well as all the servers we’ve had, have been really kind. The restaurant is super funky and fun. If you stop by during the week night, it’s pretty crowded with happy people. They have a good variety of vegetarian food with a minimal amount of vegan options (a lot of cream sauce and cheese in dishes) but they also seem to try to feature food from different places around the world, which I love. They have an extensive dessert menu too so don’t forget that!
Keep in mind: if the dish says it’s spicy, it’s going to be super spicy.
Con: I’m not too keen on their mixed drinks. The Sangria was a little pathetic, lacking flavor and had no fruit. The classic margarita had way too much mix. I’d stick with some non-​mixed beverages at this joint.

After living in Boston for many years, this place outdoes many of the pricier spots back home. Do not let the small town fool you, Gypsy Café is an absolute gem. The food, owners, and waitstaff are all worthy of a 5-​star review!

Before I start this review I would like to say I am a New Yorker, and have dined in some of the best restaurants in the world (right here in NYC). From the dingiest of places to fancy 5* restaurants. First of all it is incredibly hard to get a reservation at this place, which is fine with me. We called 2 days in advance that a group of 6 people will be dining. We were given a time, 8:00PM. Arrived promptly but we had to wait 30 minutes to be seated, again this was all fine because we assumed it will be worth it. When we were finally seated the waitress was the best part of our experience. She was fast and sweet. We are all eaters and drinkers. We ordered a LOT of food. And we each had a minimum of 2 drinks each. Needless to say dinner of 6 people who want appetizers, main course and dessert will take longer than 1.5 hours. After 1.5 hours THE OWNER come over to us and says that someone is waiting for our table, we weren’t done eating! I think she schedules people at 1.5 hour intervals. We proceeded to tell her we are not done and that we still want dessert. We were very annoyed at this point but pleasant. She proceeded to come TWO more times to tell us people are waiting for our table! Unbelievable. At this point we ordered dessert just out of spite. This isn’t even the end of it. We were able to see the people waiting for tables and we saw THE OWNER show the people our table, as in those are the people who took your table. This was by far the worst dining experience I have ever had. We apologized to the waitress, and still left 20% tip. However, we had a very firm discussion with the owner. I do not know how this business has such good reviews. Actually, I think I do. She seemed to personally know a lot of the people dining. She was very nice to those people. OUTSIDERS beware. Oh and the food, was basically edible. No frills at all. She claims that she has dishes from all over the world, the problem is none of the dishes tasted authentic (we all took something different). She would be better off picking one cuisine and trying to excel at that.

We stayed overnight in the area and were looking for a unique place to grab dinner nearby. The menu looked good and they had at least a few local craft beers on draft.
No reservations and my wife and I were able to grab to seats at the bar without any wait, just as they were getting busy for the evening. The parking lot is tiny but there is plenty of street parking just around the corner adjacent to a park.
We planned to just share a few of the more interesting appetizers so we opted for the Japanese beets, grilled cheese fondue, and kale salad. I love beets and these were excellent, maybe some of the best prepared I’ve ever had. The kale salad was also great. The little grilled cheese fondue bites were quite good too but all I remember is burning my damn finger on the cast-​iron chocolate fondue pot when I wasn’t paying attention.
Staff was friendly but at the bar it was tough to order periodically due to the amount of drinks they were always busy preparing for the entire restaurant. We weren’t in a hurry so wasn’t a big deal but if you want more attentive service then maybe suggest waiting for a table.

Gypsy earns 5 stars for food and atmosphere. It has been my families favorite place since it opened, but the last few times I’ve been the service has ruined the evening. The menu is unique and delicious, and the artwork and design of the restaurant is so creative and colorful.
I went last year for Valentine’s Day and had a wonderful meal and were finishing our drinks (we hadn’t been there for more than an hour) when we were told to hurry up and pay the bill because the next reservation had arrived! What if we wanted to order more drinks?! All of a sudden the next persons money is greener than mine? The food is so good we ignored it and since have been back 4 times– all of which ended the same way (including being told our BAR SEATS had been promised to another waiting party because they saw us finishing our drinks (we intended to order more) — and now we are done.
I understand they need to flip tables fast to make profit but you should never make your guests feel as though they are on a time limit.

Was in Lincoln this week skiing and visited Gypsy Café twice, once for lunch the other for dinner. The meals and drinks were great! Waitress was very attentive and even offered to change my friends cocktail when she didn’t like it — it was something she was trying and didn’t care for it. For lunch we had the cauliflower patties and calamari which were both delicious, followed by shrimp quesadilla.
Dinner was good as well, enjoyed the brussel sprouts appetizer which was served in a little wire basket, and I split a shortrib with a friend, another friend had the salmon and enjoyed it was well.
Food was very fresh and well prepared and presented on both occasions — would recommend.

Buddy of mine told me to stop by this place on our way home from the White Mountains.
Overall it was a good experience for Lunch. The menu has diverse featuring flavors from around the world. My only complaint is that I wish there was less Sandwiches & wraps on the menu and more entrees.

It was pouring rain and we wanted to wait out some of the downpour before heading out on our Fall Foliage drive, and this place showed up on Unilocal.Great choice!
Lots of good Vegetarian options, and plenty for meat eaters as well. I had some yummy falafel type thing, Chick Pea Fritters maybe? I don’t remember what they were called, but they were good. And then … I saw the grilled cheese fondue being delivered to a table near by, and I had to have that as well. It was YUMMY.
I’m thinking about you Grilled Cheese Fondue.

This place had MORE FOOD FOR THE BUCK than you can imagine. And it’s all great. We traveled again to one of our favorite spots in the fall time and ate here for the first time here over the week we stay here.
If you like to try a variety of dishes from around the world, this is it

Vegan friendly and really good food! Got the falafel sandwich and enjoyed it — very generous portion too.
Just wish they carried non-​dairy milk (maybe they have it sometimes but it wasn’t available when I was there).

I would have never expected to find a restaurant in rural NH that would provide a separate vegan menu. Bravo. Interesting art deco all over. The vegan menu had all sorts of international dishes. It would have been perfect if they also had vegan desserts. There were none at all. Also, no soy or almond milk creamer for the coffee. Overall though, very impressed.

We had a wonderful lunch at the Gypsy Café, and I’m excited to return.
We walked in from the heat after a morning of zip-​lining, and immediately noticed the cool mosaic tile artwork all over– they even have a mosaic tile bear statue! I’ll grab a picture of it for you Unilocalers next time :)
We were greeted and sat by a friendly older woman who later turned out to be one of the owners. She was so friendly and accommodating, and helped us find a great seat in the shade (we really didn’t need any more sun at the moment).
I had seen a picture of the Kale Curry Salad on Unilocal and already knew I wanted that, and chose to add some grilled chicken breast to it. My dining companion opted for the nachos with steak on top– which turned out to be a pretty amazing choice. We both ordered drinks, me trying the watermelon basil cooler (which had just a touch of ginger beer in it, and was delightful), and the watermelon margarita, which I highly recommend. It was clearly made with real watermelon, and was refreshing and delicious.
The salad was fantastic. That dressing! I wish I had a never-​ending supply of their curry salad dressing, something I had never thought of before. Now that I know it exists, I’ll have to try to buy or make it, because it was wonderful with the perfectly crisp kale, the pumpkin seeds and cranberries, and the juicy, delicious chicken breast.
The nachos really received most of our attention when they first arrived, though. Holy cow! They were huge, with a ton of fresh melted cheese and a large amount of medium-​rare (as requested), tender pieces of steak. I tried to only steal a few, since this was serving as my date’s entrée, but I couldn’t help stealing olives and jalapenos when he wasn’t looking. They were probably the best nachos I’ve ever had.
As we were eating we noticed another guest ordering from a special vegan menu. They also accommodate dairy-​free and gluten-​free, which is great to know.
Overall we were so happy we stopped and found this gem of a place. We will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items!

Two words: Texas burger. I have a rule that I must eat grass-​fed beef whenever I see it on a menu, and I’m so glad I obeyed it in spite of all the other good-​looking things on the menu. Holy crap, it was the best burger I’ve had in years. If you even remotely like burgers, get it. I ordered it medium and it came medium well, but that didn’t even matter. It’s been over an hour since we left and I’m still swooning.
My friends had the lamb chops and the cranberry mac n cheese, and both enjoyed them. They looked pretty good. But that burger. 8 ounces of pure bliss. It was way too big for the bun, so it was a fork-​and-​knife meal, but the bun was irrelevant after the first bite.
Seriously. Come here for the burger.

No complaints here! They were very accommodating to our large party and the food was pretty good. The décor is very eclectic and follows the gypsy theme.
The food item that stood out for me was the local kale curried salad. It was such a different taste with kale and I loved it.
Just to note they don’t serve breakfast if that is what you are looking for. But they have lots of options that are all over the map from Mexican, Turkish, Mediterrean to Thai.

I absolutely love the Gypsy Café! My only complaint about the restaurant is that it’s so far from where I live in Manchester, NH. Ironically, the owners mother that works at the restaurant, lives next to me in Manchester. Maybe I should request a weekly delivery?
You must order the Grilled Cheese Fondue appetizer. The melted cheese mixture, bacon, and buttery goodness bread dipped in the bbq sauce is amazing. You won’t be disappointed! It’s so good, we decided next time we go, we’re ordering 2 orders, one for each of us. Seriously!
The drinks, alcoholic and not are delicious. They make fresh fruit margaritas in just about every fruit. The sangria is refreshing and served in a Patron bottle. The raspberry lemonade is very refreshing as well.
For lunch or dinner, I’ve never had one thing I haven’t loved. The Zuni Roll is my favorite because it’s not something you can get just anywhere. It comes with this amazing spicy raspberry dipping sauce on the side. The sauces here are unbelievable! The homemade root veggie and potato chips are a delicious side. When I’m eating healthier, they allow you to order a delightful side salad as a substitution.
They have indoor and outdoor seating. They allow well behaved dogs at the outside seating.
I love it there so much that I find myself picking hiking trails and other outdoor activites near Lincoln so I have no reason not to stop at the Gypsy Café. Give them a try if you’re looking for unique food and drinks and great service!

Si le Gypsy Café était un album de musique, c’en serait un des musiques du monde. Les plats sont inspirés par les saveurs de plusieurs pays et continents que le cuisinier a découvert et parcouru. Il en résulte en un très heureux mélange de saveurs d’ailleurs et de produits locaux donnant des résultats savoureux et succulents. En prime, les prix sont raisonnables pour la qualité de cette table. Ajoutez-​y certaines bières locales, des desserts succulents cuisinés par la très gentille propriétaire, une ambiance décontractée et sympathique et vous avez un endroit où le goût d’y retourner vous habite dès que vous quittez. C’est tout dire de l’endroit.
