Foiegwa offers a cozy Parisian bistro vibe with intimate seating, friendly and attentive staff, and a menu that shines with truffle pasta, foie gras, beef tartare and duck, plus crowd pleasing options like eggs Benedict variations and a strong brunch and late night set menu. While visits are praised for atmosphere, delicious food and good value, some experiences note slower or distracted service, a crowded and noisy dining room, and occasional substitutions that miss expectations; nevertheless the overall impression is a welcoming, well balanced combination of quality and charm, making it a go-to spot for a date night, brunch with friends, or a special occasion, with reservations advised due to the small space.
Nous étions venus récemment pour le brunch & avions beaucoup aimé. Nous y sommes retournés cette semaine pour tester le service du soir avec une carte riche en plats de qualité & de belles propositions. Serveurs adorables & disponibles, ambiance chaleureuse, endroit vraiment cosy avec la lumière tamisé le soir, produits de qualité qu'on sent dans l'assiette & plat travaillés. On s'est vraiment régalés de l'entrée au dessert & service impeccable. Mention spéciale pour les cuisses de grenouille, le foie gras maison qui était délicieux, les escargots & le tartare juste incroyable ainsi que la mousse au chocolat. Nous reviendrons!!
I had the tasting menu, the cesear salad was just lettuce with parmesan & bits of bacon, a little sauce or something would have been nice, truffle spaghetti was good but definitely not as good as before. The truffle taste was barely there, & the dessert , chocolate mousse was not edible , wayyyyy to sweet. Also my friend had the onion soup as an entree, it was way too liquid. This used to be one of my favourite restaurants, but the food quality is definitely not there anymore.

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!
Aperçu dans une publication d'Instagram, très heureuse de cette découverte! Super service avec George! Tout à été excellent, drinks, entrées, repas & miam dessert! À retourner quand je passe à Montréal! ❤️
