Review Summary

Foiegwa is repeatedly described as a small cozy Parisian inspired restaurant in Montreal where the food is frequently praised, with standout foie gras, truffle pasta, beef tartare, the mushroom velouté, and the spaghetti with egg and parmesan cited by many as delicious, alongside cocktails and warm, attentive service that make it a popular spot for date nights and brunch alike. The atmosphere and intimate dining room are highlighted as a key part of the experience, and the late night tasting menu and prix fixe options are often valued for their quality and value. Yet several opinions note downsides: the space can feel crowded and noisy, reservations or arriving early are recommended, service can be slow or inconsistent when busy, and a few dishes or meals arrive cold or seem underseasoned or overpriced compared to expectations. Overall, Foiegwa is regarded as a charming, well loved gem with high quality cooking and friendly staff, offering a memorable night out though experiences can vary and lines or time limits can affect the flow.

Amazing food & service, the Caesar salad is out of this world. Only took some points off as it is a bit smaller than expected so the noise level was a bit high with the music

I went here with my friends for brunch & we had a good time. The food was good. Lots of sea food options but limited in other areas. We ordered several dishes. It was a bit greasy but I liked the taste. The drinks were great!

Serve was very nice & friendly. The staff greeted us, led us to our seats & kept checking on us.

I took a picture of our food & shared it below.

After our meal it took a while to get the bill so that wait was a bit annoying.

The service was disappointing. We had just finished eating when they immediately took our plates away. The waitress seemed very eager for us to leave she brought the bill right away because we didn't order dessert. She looked upset the entire time & never smiled, even though we treated her with a lot of respect & kindness. The menu we were expecting wasn't available, & they didn't have the dessert that was mentioned on TikTok. Overall, the food quality was very average.

(UPDATE: January 2026)

Foiegwa used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but unfortunately the drop in quality has become increasingly noticeable.

I went to Foiegwa several times in 2025 & had consistently good experiences. The space is charming & beautiful, & the service is usually above average (& yes, the staff is undeniably good-looking - keep that part going).

In early January, I went for brunch & was surprised by what seemed like a reduced portion. My eggs benedict arrived with only one egg on the bread. I pointed this out to the server, since the menu clearly says'eggs,' not'egg,' & everyone else at the table received two. An extra poached egg was brought to me - which I appreciated - but the situation still left me uncomfortable.

For dessert, I ordered pancakes, which were burnt in my opinion. I've attached a photo so you can judge for yourselves.

A few days later, I came back for dinner &, unfortunately, didn't know that the late-night menu previously offered at $25.99 was no longer available. The food itself was good, but after these two experiences, I no longer feel that the value for money is as strong as it used to be.

Excellent food, portion size, environment & staff. There's no'bad choice' in their menu, everything seems to be delicious, I've been there 4 times & every single experience I had was good.

Always an absolute vibe. The food is great but the staff & the atmosphere really make it. Sarah & her team are consistently demonstrating why Montreal is ever present in the international culinary scene

My partner & I went to Foiegwa to celebrate our anniversary, & we had such a wonderful experience. The food was amazing, service was premium, the staff exceptionally kind, & the restaurant itself is beautiful. One of our all time favourite places for dinner & always very highly recommended.

J'y suis allé pour un brunch entre amis & c'était la première fois que j'essayais ce restaurant. Le menu & l'ambiance m'a vraiment surpris !!!! Le décor est vraiment spécial & très charmant. Côté nourriture, c'était excellent, mais le service était un peu lent chose qui est normal à l'heure du brunch un dimanche.

Cozy & stylish place to dine in. Foiegwa was recommended by a few of my close friends who had great things to say about the menu items.

A few of us chose la table d'hôte which is great for those who come here for the first time & would like to taste a bit of everything, while I ordered the homemade truffle spaghetti with oysters on the side. The oysters were slightly too salty in my opinion. The pasta was impeccable & we had to make sure everyone tried it!!

We also ordered their cocktails, the Mariposa (the drink on the left) was delightful

Chaque fois que je vais au Foigwa, c'est toujours une belle expérience incroyable. Le classique spaghetti monté au beurre & truffe noire est toujours mythique. Il faut le détour !

Bonne ambiance générale & cadre agréable. Le restaurant a une vibe sympa, animée sans être trop bruyante, ce qui rend l'expérience conviviale & plaisante.

Le service est clairement un point fort. Personnel attentif, souriant & efficace, rien à redire de ce côté-là. On se sent bien accueilli & bien pris en charge tout au long du repas.

Côté assiette, en revanche, c'est plus mitigé. Les portions sont assez petites par rapport aux prix pratiqués, ce qui laisse une impression de rapport qualité-prix un peu décevant.

La qualité des plats est correcte, mais sans réel effet wow. Rien de mauvais, mais rien de particulièrement mémorable non plus, surtout compte tenu des attentes.

Au final, une expérience correcte grâce à l'ambiance & au service, mais la cuisine & les portions ne justifient pas totalement le prix.

The brunch at Foie Gras was a real disappointment. I found it very average, with low-quality ingredients & flavors that were simply not there. The taste was lacking overall & did not meet expectations for a brunch experience.

On the positive side, their pasta dishes & the burger are actually quite decent & much better than the brunch. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make up for how underwhelming the brunch was.

My husband & I stumbled upon Foiegwa while researching breakfast places in Montreal, & we're so glad we decided to give it a try. We arrived around 10:00 AM on a Sunday, & the restaurant was about half full, with a relaxed & welcoming atmosphere.

After looking through the menu, my husband ordered the smoked duck Benedict, while I chose'Le Foiegwa Slam', paired with a freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.

Let me tell you, the pancake was spectacular. Perfectly fluffy, rich in flavor, & absolutely delicious. It was hands down one of the best pancakes I've had in a long time. The entire plate was well-balanced. My husband also really enjoyed his smoked duck Benedict, which was flavorful & well executed.

Honestly, this meal alone felt worth the visit to Montreal. We'll definitely be coming back & highly recommend it to anyone looking for a breakfast or brunch experience.
