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 food was decent! I felt the vol au vent wasnt as flavourful as it could have been & for $29, I was expecting something a bit more than what it was.
The spaghetti was the star of the night. 10/10.
Our server forgot about our drinks & we had to wait over 1hr, after ordering, for our main meals which was stressful for a 2hr reservation block.
Overall would come back, but not for dinner. Brunch is where it's at!
Petit restaurant icône à Montréal, où l'atmosphère est chaleureux. Nous sommes allés en fin de soirée, donc expérience intime parfaite pour une date. Les huîtres étaient fraiches, par contre mal nettoyées (nous avions des morceaux de coquille en bouche). Le tartare de boeuf est superbe niveau coupe de la viande & qualité, mais on ne goûtait que le parmesan niveau saveurs, quand même déçus. Le poisson était bien, les gnocchis au canard aussi. Bref, de bons petits plats pour un moment sans prétention. Aucune attente pour les plats, ce qui était très apprécié! Le service était bien, le serveur nous a fait ressentir une belle énergie. Merci beaucoup pour l'accueil chaleureux.
It great brunch place :) I've been to here already 3times for brunch & every time meal & coffee were nice. I like the ambience (it's a small space & a bit noisy) One of the best brunch downtown!
We visited foiegwa for our anniversary & I'm glad we came. The food, ambiance, & service were really top notch.
We were served a glass of Cava as a gift which was really nice from the team.
We wanted to go to foiegwa because we wanted dishes with truffle, & we definitely got our fix! Probably the best burger we've ever had, & the spaghetti was 10/10. Was very sad we didn't have room for dessert!

J'ai testé Foiegwa pour un brunch un dimanche. Petite line up à l'extérieur, comme j'étais seule je n'ai pas attendu longtemps & j'ai pu être placé au comptoir. Ce que j'aime beaucoup car j'ai pu voir l'équipe travailler grâce à sa cuisine ouverte. Ambiance très sympa & cosy & plat délicieux, ainsi qu'un très bon latte. Le service était rapide & très aimable. Je recommande !
Thanks so much to the server with the avocado tattoo for taking great care of me with my dairy allergy. The food & wine were delicious. Looking forward to returning on my next trip to Montreal!!
La musique était tellement forte que ns avions bcp de difficulté à se parler.
Moi & mon amie n'avons pas l'intention d'y retourner à cause de cette raison malheureusement.
Went for thanksgiving dinner & did not regret it one bit. The price suits the food & service if not is a bargain for this quality!! Dare I say the dinner I had was as satisfying as much more expensive restaurants in the area. Loooove this place & will be back for more!
