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.
Not much to say, food was excellent (typical French food), service in English or French was perfect, neither too much or too little attention, able to enjoy the meal in peace. Too bad we were too full to try desserts... a bit on the pricier side but definitely worth it 👌
* Cute little place, great vibe. * Service is super-friendly, but somewhat chaotic & disorganized. * Food is a hit or miss: Some dishes superb (the braised beef was heavenly), & some very mediocre & subpar (the Foie Gras pasta was starchy & hugely undercooked, the Crêpes Suzette was crude & drenched in Cointreau).
The food is phenomenal. I'm writing this review whilst still sitting in the restaurant, having booked to return tomorrow night also. We had the cod fritters, braised beef, spaghetti & chocolate mousse. All incredible! The best meal we have had in canada. A must for anyone in or visiting Montreal.
This place is overrated. We went there for the 3 courses for 25$ & the food portions were not only very small, but it was also very mid. We were excited about the truffle spaghetti & honestly the pasta tasted like the buldack carbonara one. It tasted cheap & not worth the price. It's a very small place, very crowded but it has a charm, sadly not as amazing as it was advertised on TikTok. :( I'm glad we had the chicken liver. It saved the night.

Belle soirée - atmosphère accueillant, nourriture savoureuse, service attentionné! Que demandez de plus! J'ai adoré le risotto! Nous fêtions notre anniversaire de mariage avec des amis & la serveuse nous a offert un digestif après le dessert & à même trinqué avec nous! Petite touche dont on va se rappeler!
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!
We ordered one of their most famous dishes which is the truffle cream pasta. The dish was flavorful & well-prepared, but the portion size was rather small, especially given the higher price point. On the bright side, the service was pleasant & attentive. Additionally, their cocktails were a highlight-there were plenty of options, & the ones we tried were excellent. ( Europe trip) Overall, it's a good spot for a flavorful meal & great drinks, though a bit on the expensive side for the portions served.
Good brunch & late night eats. Conveniently placed next to Atwater cocktail club. Sometimes a wait to get it but worth it. Milkshake & fries available too :)

The food is a bit mid. Our server took our order & never check in afterwards. Had to try to call her over 10times before she even glanced at us. Place is soooo packed but no a/c so it's so hot. One bathroom & the line is huge.
Nice little restaurant, I love the deco. Our waitress is so nice & helpful. They got a late night menu with the price of 25 & 50 for 3 course meal. Sure I'll go again.
Atmosphere is great. Service is good. Order of chicken mouse, pasta, oysters, Food review: Late night menu, Yo not gonna lie that truffle pasta had a certain acidity that brought me back to a flavour of p*****. Not bad p***** right. Acidity over all plates got us bad, the apple sauce & pasta. P* taste. Fuggazi beer was nice. Pomegranate wine, I'd chose something else. Bad luck?
La nourriture toujours bonne mais il faudrait penser à diversifier le menu du soir après 21h... en 3 mois nous y sommes allés 3 fois & ça n'a pas changé du tout, même pas une petite variante sur le dessert ou les entrées... nous reviendrons quand il y aura du nouveau. & attention aussi, il est impossible de vous joindre par téléphone... c'est embêtant quand on veut annuler/modifier une réservation & qu'on a notre carte de crédit en garantie 😬

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.
Great vibes, great food, great service. We went for a bit of a celebratory dinner & definitely was not cheap but worth the cost. Shrimp cocktail was good. The Cesar salad was perfectly dressed. The beef tartare was truly something else - covered in cheese is a nice touch. Don't miss the dill cucumber salad either. Memorable dinner.
Walked in without a reservation so we sat at the bar. Great to watch the bartender making drinks. Loved my scallop risotto dish & the cider they had on tap. Excellent accommodating wait staff!
