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.

I was coming back after a good experience a few years ago. Overall the menu was pretty boring, especially the limited & rather expensive choice of desserts. The amount of food was on the low side, which is fine if it was backed up by very good quality but it wasn't really the case. My duck was at best luckwarm when I got it. In the end, I was disappointed & found it too expensive for what you get.

We visited foiegwa for our anniversary & I'm glad we came. The food, ambiance, & service were really top notch.
We were served a glass of Cava as a gift which was really nice from the team.
We wanted to go to foiegwa because we wanted dishes with truffle, & we definitely got our fix! Probably the best burger we've ever had, & the spaghetti was 10/10. Was very sad we didn't have room for dessert!

We ordered an entry (tarte fine), 2 meals (gnocchis & duck), & a dessert (mousse au chocolat avec tuile d'amande). The tarte & particularly the chocolate mousse were delicious. However, the gnocchis were dry/under cooked/grainy texture, & the pulled duck smelled & tasted very strange. We both forced ourselves to finish our meal. The mousse was missing the tuile d'amande, which is quite shameful since it is half the name of the dessert. When I asked the waiter about it, he told me that they had changed the recipe but did not update it on the menu. They did not even try to make a compensation for it. Staff was not very welcoming/smiling. Size were satisfactory for all meals (entry, main, dessert). We are not usually very picky eaters, but we were extremely disappointed by our experience. It was really overpriced compared to the quality of the food that we received & which has nothing to do with the taste & finesse of french cuisine. Best regards, Emilie.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Foiegwa! We did it all! Specialty cocktails, starters (oysters), mains & desserts. The spaghetti was very good, the vol-au-vent was delicious & the duck breast was very good. Service was pleasant & impeccable. We had two chocolate mousse … & the almond cookies were yummy! Could not love it more!

We always visit Foiegwa when we're in Montreal. Tiny space, but comfortable. Perfect for a casual date night. Love the spaghetti, so rich & delicious. Portion size could be slightly larger though. Also had the tartare which was excellent. Cocktails were wonderful. We had room for dessert & tried the chocolate mousse for the first time & it ended up being the star of the whole meal! I'm still thinking about it. Perfect balance of sweet & bitter chocolate flavour, & so light & creamy. We shared one, but next time I'm getting my own!
