Foiegwa is widely praised for its cozy, intimate vibe, charming décor, and consistently solid food and service, with standout dishes like truffle spaghetti, foie gras, and mushroom velouté, plus inventive cocktails. The staff are described as friendly and attentive, making it a reliable choice for brunch, date nights, or casual dinners, though a few reviews mention slow or uneven service during peak hours. Space is small, often crowded and a bit loud, which can affect pacing and comfort, and some diners feel portions are small or prices high for what is offered, especially on brunch or late-night menus. Reservations are recommended and the late-night or prix-fixe options are frequently noted as good value. Overall, Foiegwa comes across as a beloved Montreal spot with a memorable atmosphere and consistently strong cuisine, even as a minority of visits note inconsistencies or crowding.
Pour ma part, ça été une déception culinaire. Cela m'a pris par surprise car les commentaires lus avaient placé mes attentes beaucoup hautes. L'extra foie gras dans le burger ne vaut vraiment pas la peine & il était sec à manger. Longue attente pour recevoir notre facture. Espace très restreint dans l'environnement. Dommage mais ça n'a pas été une belle expérience.
Cannot go wrong with truffle & pasta, superior combo. My friend doesn't like truffle & he gave this pasta a 10/10. Fries were also hugeeee & oh so good
Excellent resto cela fait une dizaine de fois que nous y allons. Super service aussi de la part de Jordane. Personnel toujours bien sympathique & très accueillant.

The food was good but basic & not a big menu. The restaurant isn't well decorated & clean but it isn't big, so you need a reservation in the evening. & the service was nice.
Honestly, what an amazing place. Had a great time. Great selection on the menu, cozy & intimate. the food was amazing & the drinks were pretty nice. I would out this on my top 10 places, surely because of how nice & cozy it was. I will definitely go again. a must visit
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.

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.
(PREVIOUS REVIEW)
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.
