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.
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.

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
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.
le service était impeccable, les huîtres étaient fraîches, les drink succulents, une soirée parfaite je recommande fortement & le menu est très abordable!
Made reservations for New Years Day dinner. Ordered the French onion soup to start, which was delicious. Ordered the duck special of the day & the three course meal deal for $35 which included an appetizer (we got the eggs) plate (the truffle pasta) & dessert (the chocolate mousse). Everything was delicious. The foie gras was delicious. Our drinks were delicious too, though on the smaller side & a bit expensive compared to where else we've gone in Montreal. We left & agreed this is one of the best meals we've each had. The place is very small so I recommend a reservation.
Super restaurant ! Accueil très chaleureux.
J'ai pris le foie gras, le magret & la tarte tatin : un vrai délice ! & pourtant, je viens du Sud-Ouest de la France, donc le canard, ça me connaît 😅
Mon ami elle, a choisi le poulet, les moules & la mousse au chocolat : tout était incroyable.
Un vrai régal, un vrai bonheur, je recommande vivement !
Après en avoir beaucoup entendu parler sur TikTok, je me suis rendu dans ce chouette restaurant avec ma mère qui était de passage... & on ne va pas se mentir, c'était un excellent choix !
Un restaurant à la décoration sobre mais très efficace, le personnel est rapide, efficace & d'une amabilité sans faille... & le plus important ! Les menus ont l'air tout E.X.C.E.P.T.I.O.N.N.E.L.S. ! Nous avons prix le menu du dernier service (car réservé sur le tard donc peu de disponibilité) & il était tout bonnement divin ! & quand on voit le prix qu'on paye en plus... une vulgaire honte tellement les 3 plats étaient somptueux ! Après cette première expérience, le besoin d'y retourner se fait ressentir, donc je recommande très fortement ce restaurant !
Had a really nice date night, the service was great & the food even better.
The chicken special was highly recommended & I can tell why! MUST TRY
Chefs Kiss to Jonah 💋
Such a cute place to go for a bit of good food! The food was fresh & delicious, I don't know how they did it but the washroom smelled outworldly nice, definitely recommend

I absolutely loved our experience at Foiegwa while visiting Montreal. The food was absolutely incredible, the ambiance was beautiful & fun, & the service was excellent.
Because we were celebrating my birthday, we decided to order from the'menu découverte'. Where all the food was absolutely fantastic, the star of the show was the Foie Gras appetizer. It was my favourite of the whole evening.
If you're looking for a great place for a date night, a night out with friends, or a place to celebrate a special occasion, I HIGHLY recommend Foiegwa!
We got really kind service & the food was just sooo good. It's our second time coming & both times were such great experience. The burger & beef tartare were super yummy! Prices are very affordable too. Def recommend if you're in the area!
I had a great experience at Foiegwa overall. The ambience is really cool - lively & stylish - although it did get a bit louder as the evening went on, & the tables were a little narrower. I found the burger a bit overrated, but aside from that, everything else was excellent. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try & will definitely go back!
I love this place! Ive been countless times. I always come back for their famous truffle spaghetti it is amazing! I also enjoyed their 25$ three course meal special that they offer every Sunday to Thursday starting at 9pm, I would definitely recommend especially their Mushroom Veloute!
