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.
Super soirée. Le restaurant était plein mais ils nous ont trouvé une table, nous avons pu savourer un delicieux repas & un très bon dessert profiteroles au chocolat. Je recommande ce restaurant.

A bit noisy on the weekend but it's a small place that's not a bother. Food was great had the blueberry pancakes & they were great. The benedicts on croissant were good but tasted a bit too much of truffle. Still very good. I definitely recommend it.
Had a lovely brunch here with my husband & a friend. The place is super cute & cozy, the waiter was great, & the food was delicious! We had a special dish, eggs benedict with pork, & was exceptional. We got there super early bc we were told it gets super crowded & people line up. I can now see why! I HIGHLY recommend!
Disappointing brunch on a Friday morning. Ordered the duck confit Benedict that arrived cold on a small plate. The potatoes that it came with were served much later, so we suspect they were burned originally & the egg dish got cold waiting. My friend ordered the grand slam, which came with a pancake but did not receive her maple syrup. Service was inattentive as the only waiter in the room was at the door seating new clients & setting the tables. There are so many better brunch places in Montreal that I would not recommend Foiegwa, especially at this price.
absolument rien d'exceptionnel ce petit resto pour lequel j'avais des attentes après avoir vue plusieurs pub sur IG…j'y suis allée pour le brunch & à ma grande surprise c'est beaucoup plus petit que je pensais..ils ont mis un mûre de miroir qui donne un effet de grandeur..on ne peut pas réserver pour le brunch alors il faut attendre..j'ai commandé le pain perdu, c'est une seule tranche de pain..j'avais encore faim en sortant de la.. bref je ne le recommande pas & n'y retournez pas.

Très bon restaurant pour un brunch. La cuisine est simple & c'est ce que l'on demande. Les serveurs sont attentifs, les plats sont maîtrisés & les prix sont raisonnables. L'ambiance du restaurant est très sympa sur un thème old school. Je recommande cet endroit!
I recommend this if you want to eat cold, chewy waffles that are already made. Can you tell from my pancake pictures? They are so dry that they look like they were baked yesterday & not even reheated.
We were recommended this restaurant from a coworker for our girls weekend away. From the very start the staff were 10 out of 10! Very kind, professional & got us a great spot. The vibe in the small Cafe was so lovely woth great pictures & music. The drinks were amazing! Great selection of alcohol beverages & BEST part.... no children. This explained the high end experience & flavor in the food. The chef was accommodating for changes to the menu. The truffle eggs Benedict, duck confit egg Benedict & chicken & waffles were insane! Can't recommend this location enough. We went at 1030am & had no problem getting a table for 5 though it was full but when we left, the entire corner sidewalk was filled with waiting people. No reservations.

Je fut agréablement surprise & satisfaite de ma visite! La nourriture était délicieuse, les portions étaient bonnes & le service était juste wow! L'ambiance est magnifique & plaisante. La décoration est très jolie & un peu rétro. Je recommande fortement!
Mouthwatering, delicious must try the truffle fries , spaghetti is amazing , espresso drinks are pretty good, nice latte art, went for opening on a Friday for brunch walk in only got amazing food & service. Would definitely recommend.
I visited Foiegaw for their $25 late-night menu after 9 pm (with some cocktails on special too!). The food was absolutely delicious & worth every penny. Great vibe & decor-highly recommend!
Honnêtement, c'était vraiment très average. Le foie gras était bon, le tartare de thon juste je comprend pas pourquoi il le serve, vraiment aucun goût, sauf le goût de tomate qui fonctionne pas du tout à mon avis. La César est correcte, sans plus. Le service ça va, pas du tout impressionné par le sommelier, à part me nommer le nom des vins, j'ai eu aucune recommandation ou explication, très décevant. Une seule salle de bain, très inconvénient pour les clients, surtout qu'elle n'était pas propre. En sommes, je pense pas que ça vaut le détour.
It's a really good place for having brunch or breakfast, the staff is so friendly & nice, & the portions are good for the price, I recommend the cold latte.
Had a meal set for 25. From salad to mains everything was delicious, I would say one of the best pasta I ever had. Highly recommended to go & try their food
