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.
Tres bruyant mais tres bon accueil! Nous avons tres bien mange; accompagnement minimum (pas de legumes ou pates ou autre); certains plats sur le menu non disponibles. Temperature du vin pas assez froid
We were lucky to have the last spot at brunch in a Saturday. The place is beautiful & the ambiance laid back. We had a hot alcoholic cocktail that warmed us on this cold day. I took the homemade spaghetti with truffle butter & Parmesan & it was delicious. I'd like to go back again & try their other supper offerings. Will definitely be back

Always an excellent brunch option! This is my third time & the food is always excellent. I tried their Croque Mamie with duck & it was delicious with the small taste of truffle. Service was great & we sat in a corner next to the window which is better than the tables in the middle that I find less convivial. We were sitting there last time. Just know that brunch has gotten expensive in Montréal & the price point does reflect that at Foiegwa. But still a must try brunch in the city!
SENSACIONAL! Viemos no jantar e bos apaixonamos pela comida, ambiente e atendimento. Pedimos a fraldilha, o spaghetti trufado e o steak tartare para compartilhar e todos os pratos incríveis! Também, os drinks sao maravilhosos! Dica: peçam o La Madelaine!
Delicious food, wonderful friendly staff with excellent service. The atmosphere is like'80s diner, & rather casual. They seem to have truffle in a lot of their dishes, so not only do they taste delicious, they smell super yummy too! They are pretty popular, & can get pretty crowded, so it's better to make a reservation.
The food quality was really lacking for the price paid - the French onion soup was poorly seasoned & had bad tasting cheese, the Cesar used meat that we could tell was previously frozen, & the pate was just bad. The cocktails were good, though

Tout d'abord, nous avions réservé au bar & on nous a assis à une table directement dans l'entrée. Nous avons gentiment demandé d'être déplacés & que nous avions demandé d'être assis au bar. L'hôtesse n'était pas très chaleureuse avec sa réponse, mais a finalement pu nous accomoder. Nous avons commandé des entrées & un plat principal, & bien que le serveur nous ait demandé si nous voulions bien les entrées d'abord, nous avons reçu le plat principal d'abord sans aucune mention des entrées; nous avons dû demander & on nous a ensuite dit qu'il y avait eu une erreur dans la cuisine. J'ai commandé 3/4 plats plusieurs fois dans le passé, & la qualité de 2 de ces plats était nettement inférieure aux nombreuses autres fois (salade césar pas très gouteuse & portion beaucoup moins généreuse - tartare de boeuf sans les chips habituelles remplacées par un à côté de petites tranches de pain qui était clairement un remplacement dernière minute). Malgré tout, aucune accomodation n'a été offerte pour remédier à ces nombreux inconvénients/erreurs. On aurait facilement pu nous offrir un verre ou une entrée pour compenser.. je suis très déçue de mon expérience & je ne compte pas y retourner.
I went here alone for brunch! Service is nice! I enjoyed chicken (on the waffle), it was so crispy & yummy ! It was amazing because the maple syrup was thick brown, but delicious ! (It was first time to see that type of maple syrup) Generally, everything is basic :)
I have come to thos place for some time & this las time I was really disappointed with the quality of the food.
The tartare was 1/3 smaller than before & you could barely taste the truffle. As well, now it is paired with some Baggett such a downgrade from the waffle chips.
As for the spaghetti, again, you couldn't taste the truffle... it was just an ordinary alfledo sauce from the supermarket.
The service & the personnel were fantastic!
Quite disappointed to be honest with the quality of the food ... & prices are higher.
