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.
This was a really good restaurant. We tried the late night tasting menu & got the mushroom velouté (soup), smash burger & truffle pasta. The truffle pasta was the highlight of the meal really creamy & you could really taste the truffle. The smash burger was also good but I would say the bechamel fries were really good as well. The velouté was also really good & a great starter, personally it looked tastier than the chicken liver. Overall this is a great place for a date & the place is cozy & nice. The 25$ tasting menu is absolutely worth it
Such a memorable experience! The cocktails were deliciously inventive, the food was perfect, & the service led by maître d George & the team was amazing!
Overrated for the price. The portions were small & over priced. We left hungry & the flavours weren't great. Again, for the price we were hoping for more. For example, the pasta is $30 for such a small amount. We were fine with having a 2 hour time limit but the food took a while to come out & then we got dessert but they forgot about the sparkler for my friends birthday so they had to come out with a piece of bread with a sparkler in it. Then before we were done eating they told us our time was up & we had to leave. It just felt rushed & disingenuous as an experience.
Très bel endroit !
La nourriture est bonne, le menu fin de soirée est une super bonne idée & permet à des étudiants de se régaler pour un prix plus que correct !
Les cocktails sont bon en plus d'être innovant !
( Si jamais & ce n'est que mon avis le tartare manque un tout petit peu d'asaisonement )
We opted for the'menu découverte'. Each dish was well-prepared & showcased the chef's attention to detail.
The portions are medium-sized but surprisingly filling. The highlight, of course, was the lovely foie gras, which lives up to the restaurant's name. It was rich & flavorful
Another standout was the spaghetti with egg, black truffle, & parmesan. The combination of flavors & textures was lovely.
To finish off the meal, we indulged in a dessert of chocolate mousse topped with an almond tuile. The mousse was decadent & perfectly complemented by the crispy wafer cookie, creating a delightful end to our dining experience. 🍫🍪
Overall, my visit to @foiegwa was fantastic. With well-crafted dishes, a cozy atmosphere.

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.
L'ambiance est superbe, le prix est dérisoire, les cocktails sont incroyables mais la cuisine semble avoir la prétention d'être haute, malgré quelques vilains défauts. Outre l'assiette de spaghetti servie avec une cuillère ; pire : une cuillère servie *dans* l'assiette - le gâteau en dessert était lui aussi servi avec une cuillère, on repassera pour les coutumes de restauration 🤷 -, les deux plats principaux étaient drôlement salés (toutefois très bons). Peut-être pas très esthétiques car (ignorons la cuillère) les deux plats sont saupoudrés de fromage. Un tartare de boeuf plus italien que classique américain, mais avec un oeuf & de la sauce. Les ingrédients semblent de bonne qualité, l'entrée (velouté de champignons) absolument délicieuse. & une mayonnaise promise pour les frites qui n'a jamais été servie. 🙃🙂

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!
