MURDERITH x GITANES 🇲🇽🇨🇦🇫🇷

Before she touches the decks at the TORTABOYZ BLOCK PARTY COOKOUT, we sent @murderith into the kitchen.

MURDERITH stopped by @gitanes on Elgin Street — one of Ottawa’s standout contemporary French dining rooms — where Chef Mitch Lacombe and the team take French technique and classics and reinterpret them through Canadian ingredients, seasonal produce, raw seafood, natural wines and inventive cocktails.

Catch MURDERITH bringing that same energy to the dancefloor this Saturday.
