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.

The restaurant is quite small, & given it's a favourite brunch spot for many, its queues get ridiculously long on a good day. I recommend arranging your morning around it. The food itself is pricey, but delicious. The eggs Benedict & smoked salmon are excellent, as is the spaghetti. The atmosphere is good, not great, because of how cramped it feels unfortunately.
J'ai testé Foiegwa pour un brunch un dimanche. Petite line up à l'extérieur, comme j'étais seule je n'ai pas attendu longtemps & j'ai pu être placé au comptoir. Ce que j'aime beaucoup car j'ai pu voir l'équipe travailler grâce à sa cuisine ouverte. Ambiance très sympa & cosy & plat délicieux, ainsi qu'un très bon latte. Le service était rapide & très aimable. Je recommande !
Incredible food. The flavors are so rich & authentic. A great experience from making the reservation to dining with a large group. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Montreal.
We had the best time at Foiegwa! The service was attentive, knowledgeable & friendly. The food was delicious! We had the salmon gravlax, the tomato tart, the pâté & the beef tartare... I would eat these everyday if I could. I highly recommend this place!

I love Foiegwa & make a point to go back every time I'm in Montreal. The food & service is always amazing & I recommend it to all of my family & friends! The beef tartare, escargot & frog legs are definitely some of my favourites on the menu!!!
We arrived at 9:10 PM. We had a 945 reservation at the bar & got there a little early. The hostess was gracious enough to give us a table instead, so that we wouldn't have to wait until 9:45 PM. The chicken ballotine was the best dish. The food runner/ server was very attentive. He had such a nice attitude about him. Definitely recommend!!!

Small beautifull trendy place with great wine list.
Food is good but plates could be more generous.
Nice for a laid back diner.
Service is cajual.
Got a Calvados shooter for my wife's birthday. Always nice to have that little personnal touch.
I recommand.
I haved dined at Foiegwas several times on my visits from NYC. I have recommended it to several friends traveling to Montreal. I dined there last night & it will be my last visit. We were seated very graciously by our waiter & given our menues etc. After a short wait, I ordered a cocktail & gave our dinner orders. All perfect. After 5 minutes my delicious cocktail was served & within 1 minute my order of velouté was brought to the table as well. I was not prepared to eat it immediately & was looking forward to enjoying my drink. The waiter came by & I asked ( politely) if he could take the velouté back to the kitchen to keep it warm while I drank my drink. He said he could but 1) it could not simply be kept warm & would have be thrown out & a new one made & 2) I should have informed him that I did not want them served together. I am not one to waste food so I did not send it back. First of all, how could I know they would be served together? Is it not customary to bring a cocktail first & let the guest have five or ten minutes to enjoy it? & why would the waiter want to make me feel badly or guilty about returning it to the kitchen? He could have simply taken it back without question & returned it to me after my drink, without the unprofessional explanation given. The rest of the meal was ok, not great. My spaghetti was not hot but luke warm. The bathrooms were quite messy (& it was early in the night). Napkins on the floor, trash overflowing. I ask if this is what is viewable to the public, is the kitchen in the same state? With regret, I will not be returning or recommending Foiegwas in the future.
