Review Summary

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.

Got the chicken & waffle. Waffles were so so dry that I could only eat a tiny bit. Disappointing given how well loved the place is.

Genuinely impressive.

The quality & preparation of the food was excellent. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked &, despite being literally covered in sauce, was still crispy; my one criticism here is that the meat itself could have been more flavorful but the sauce makes up for it. The bechamel fries were probably the best fries I have ever had. My girlfriend loved the burger. The chocolate mousse was perfect; rich & chocolatey. All of this speaks to the skill of the chef which is a rare find these days.

Service was excellent. Incredibly fast & friendly.

We will return for brunch with friends.

Maybe it was the choices we made, but we were a bit unimpressed with the "fried chicken" & the onion soup. The gravlax & fries were great though!

I went here alone for brunch! Service is nice! I enjoyed chicken (on the waffle), it was so crispy & yummy ! It was amazing because the maple syrup was thick brown, but delicious ! (It was first time to see that type of maple syrup) Generally, everything is basic :)

Disappointing. The house Old Fashioned was poorly mixed & lacked the essential cherry. Fried chicken was tasty but very little sauce & no vegetables or anything to go with it. Pot au feu contained very little meat, overcooked vegetables & did not have the standard pearl onions. A cute restaurant but not a great dining experience.

The service was good, they were very friendly & were smooth on delivering their service. The food was average, considering the price. I had the chicken & waffles, & ended up slightly dissatisfied as the sauce they added to it was too sweet & should have been put on the side instead of drenching the waffles. The atmosphere was way too loud & I couldn't hear my own thoughts.

The food here was amazing! We ordered the BBQ frog legs, chicken liver mousse, escargot, & Caesar salad for appetizers to share & they were all super tasty. The frog legs tasted exactly like fried chicken. For mains we ordered the truffle spaghetti, truffle Parmesan beef tartare, & the duck gnocchi & they were so good! The truffle spaghetti was my favourite & it was super rich & full of flavour. The staff were all super friendly & it was nicely decorated.

Both of two dishes are amazing, which are beyond my expectation. The chicken liver is covered by some jam, therefore its offensive smell is readily covered. What a clever chef:) The spaghetti is creamy & milky. But the place is smaller than I thought.

We arrived at 9:10 PM. We had a 945 reservation at the bar & got there a little early. The hostess was gracious enough to give us a table instead, so that we wouldn't have to wait until 9:45 PM. The chicken ballotine was the best dish. The food runner/ server was very attentive. He had such a nice attitude about him. Definitely recommend!!!
