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 restaurant is smaller than I expected but has a great ambiance, the bar is pretty. If you're two people, anticipate being quite close to the tables next to you. The cocktails & service were excellent! Unfortunately, after reading all the good reviews about the spaghetti, I was very disappointed by it: although the truffle flavour was there, it seriously lacked salt (& I'm someone who doesn't eat salty foods much). The gnocchi was good & the duck was tender, but again, it lacked salt for my taste...Portions are also quite small, so if you don't want to order entrées, don't come here hungry!
Lovely restaurant, staff were very nice. The brunch potatoes are delicious. The hollandaise was very thick... Perhaps just not my jam. It was almost a bit like mayonnaise. They have glutenfree bread available which is great & much appreciated.
Toujours un plaisir de se rendre dans cet établissement. La nourriture est excellente. Mention spéciale au service & surtout à Georges qui nous a fait passer des moments incroyables. Très professionnel amical & amoureux du métier merci encore :)
