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.
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!
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.
