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.
Disappointing. The house Old Fashioned was poorly mixed & lacked the essential cherry. Fried chicken was tasty but very little sauce & no vegetables or anything to go with it. Pot au feu contained very little meat, overcooked vegetables & did not have the standard pearl onions. A cute restaurant but not a great dining experience.
Très belle expérience. Nourriture excellente !
Nous avions commandé plusieurs entrées qui, à notre demande, ont été apportées dès qu'elles étaient prêtes. Du coup, je vous suggère fortement d'éviter cette façon de faire. Opter pour un service plus lent & rythmé. Ceci dit, la demoiselle qui nous a servi était géniale. Elle connaissait bien ke menu, les plats, le vin. Merci ! On y reviendra.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!!🙂⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was coming back after a good experience a few years ago. Overall the menu was pretty boring, especially the limited & rather expensive choice of desserts. The amount of food was on the low side, which is fine if it was backed up by very good quality but it wasn't really the case. My duck was at best luckwarm when I got it. In the end, I was disappointed & found it too expensive for what you get.

Un très bon service, mais un bien meilleur souvenir de la qualité des p'ats servis & la qualité des produits. Pour les prix annoncés sur la carte on a eu un peu l'impression de vider les fonds de stocks de 2023.

Such a gem of a restaurant, transported us to another era, & most of all the service & food was amazing. Will definitely recommend Foiegwa, a total food vibe.
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.
Place incroyable de A à Z. Le service & l'ambiance. On se croit transporté dans leur monde. Les gnocchis de canards étaient juste ..wow. l'entrée de pieuvre nous a grandement surpris aussi. Nous y retournerons c'est sur.
Excellent nourriture avec un service chaleureux & personnalisé. Un grand merci pour l'accueil pour notre célébration! Cela restera longtemps dans notre coeur ♥️
