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.
Très bon resto avec un bon service. Leur fameux pasta à la truffle était au-delà de mes expectations. Je ne dirais malheureusement pas que l'ensemble de l'expérience était parfait, car la quantité de nourriture aurait pu être meilleure 🥺
The food here was amazing! We ordered the BBQ frog legs, chicken liver mousse, escargot, & Caesar salad for appetizers to share & they were all super tasty. The frog legs tasted exactly like fried chicken. For mains we ordered the truffle spaghetti, truffle Parmesan beef tartare, & the duck gnocchi & they were so good! The truffle spaghetti was my favourite & it was super rich & full of flavour. The staff were all super friendly & it was nicely decorated.

Both of two dishes are amazing, which are beyond my expectation. The chicken liver is covered by some jam, therefore its offensive smell is readily covered. What a clever chef:) The spaghetti is creamy & milky. But the place is smaller than I thought.
Although we appreciate that there is a 2 hr time slot per sitting, we felt rushed by our server. When she told us politely that we would have to vacate as there was a party coming, there were still empty tables & no one waiting at door
Perhaps it's better to advise/ remind the party when they enter
Still the food was great

We had a wonderful meal last night. Our server was really fantastic (young guy, dark hair)....We let him choose the wine & the food & he was spot on. Will definitely be back!!!
It would have been nice if it was stipulated anywhere, online or in the restaurant & even the menu that there will be NO foie gras served anymore in a restaurant where name says so...
