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.
The flavour & portion are not worth the price. I ordered a french toast & out came one medium sized brioche for 17.5$. The taste was good but wish there was more bread & cream. My friend had the shakshuka & said it was lacking spice.
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.
My first time there with my husband Kamel. We went yesterday on August 3rd for my birthday after visiting the amazing cocktail club. Food is very fresh & tasty, very good. 👍 services, I have to say, I don't remember his name, but in August 3rd at 7pm this guy was amazing, kind, respectful, amazing service. We felt super welcomed & had an amazing experience. Thank you & see you soon😍
I was not impressed with the food. Our food was cold, the pancakes were way too dense & dry. The chicken & waffles were meh. They were definitely understaffed for a long weekend, which sucks because it's not the staffs fault. The service was super slow & they forgot about my smoothie though I had requested it several times, at least they took it off our bill.
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
Menu de fin soirée à 25$ très très bon si vous avez une petite envie de vous faire plaisir sans avoir à hypothéqué votre maison c est une très bonne option.

Really great brunch experience as someone coming in from Toronto for a weekend trip! Service & food were great! Ordered the Foeigwa slam - pancakes were excellent, though light on condiments it was really savory. Others like eggs, bread & sausage were likewise prepared well. Recommend visitors check it out! (Pancake score: 8.5/10)
Have been to foiegwa four times over the last few years & it is one of my favourite restaurants in Canada in terms of its bang for buck. The homemade spaghetti with truffle is to die for ($28.75). The chicken liver mousse ($6.25)& bechamel parmesan truffle fries ($9.25) are both great. Service is friendly & quick. The restaurant is very cute.
Here's a long overdue review for Foiegwa! I've been coming here for the past two years, & it never disappoints. The food is consistently great, & on the rare occasion it's not up to expectations they're quick to make things right. But what really sets Foiegwa apart is the service. Everyone is so accommodating & friendly, even when it's super busy. Sandrine, in particular is an absolute gem. She's always got a huge smile on her face, whether it's the middle of July or a blizzard outside. Every time I walk in, no matter my mood I always leave feeling better ☺️ Here are just a few photos of the amazing food from the past couple of years as you can see they always keep a very high standard. A big thanks to the entire brunch team for making every visit so enjoyable ❤️
Deux menus découvertes; foie gras avec le pain extraordinaire, entrées asperges excellentes, risotto pétoncles super, bavette & frites c'était ok mais un peu sceptique sur la qualité de la viande & la sauce (frites très bonnes). J'ai beaucoup aimé le pannacota / céréales pour dessert. Service bien rythmé. Toujours plein donc vaut mieux réserver.

Went twice. After hours set menu was good value & well presented. Drinks were good. Brunch was mediocre - I expected something more given the restaurant's reputation.
For those looking for a phenomenal gastronomic experience up to 30$ per person, this is the place, I recommend it & whenever I can I will eat at this place
Foiegwa was such an amazing experience. We went there for my partners 60th birthday w a party of 12. They were so accommodating & friendly. Our server was George. He was so much fun made sure we were taken care of. He also got us into Atwater cocktail bar. The experience was the best. Would come back & will be recommend this place to friends. Thank you so much.
The place is small & as a result can be noisy. However, once the late lunch crowd thinned out, we agreed that the food was excellent as was the afoggato. A charming, unique & uplifting poace to eat, close to the Marche Atwater.
