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.
Made reservations for New Years Day dinner. Ordered the French onion soup to start, which was delicious. Ordered the duck special of the day & the three course meal deal for $35 which included an appetizer (we got the eggs) plate (the truffle pasta) & dessert (the chocolate mousse). Everything was delicious. The foie gras was delicious. Our drinks were delicious too, though on the smaller side & a bit expensive compared to where else we've gone in Montreal. We left & agreed this is one of the best meals we've each had. The place is very small so I recommend a reservation.
Visiting Montreal & out of over 10 restaurants that we went to, Foiegwa was our favorite! The food was delicious & the service was quick. Our waitresses were helpful & so kind! We absolutely loved it & would definitely go back.
Favorite date night in Montreal so far. Food was excellent. Service was chill, never felt rushed. Super cozy/intimate interior. Cocktails were on point.
Went there last month for a friend's birthday. The food was really good - my favorite was the mushroom soup. The service could've been better, but the place itself is cozy & nice.
Today my wife & I went here for breakfast, there was a paper behind the window that the restaurant opens at 11 today & we waited because it was 10:50, the curtain behind the door was slightly open & you could see inside through the curtain. A lady was cleaning the tables & the forks & knives on the table. I hope you don't go to this restaurant if you value your health. With a paper towel that is for the toilet & spray, She cleaned the glasses, then the monitor screen, then the chairs & the table, then the forks & the knives on the table! I could not believe that such a thing was possible! She sprayed the Windex on everything & hit the fork & knife with a napkin that cleaned everything! 🤢 #HealthHazard #DirtyRestaurant #StayAway

C'est ce que c'était ? c'est ce que j'ai eu ? c'est pourquoi je suis déçu.
J'écris rarement des avis négatifs, mais l'expérience vécue cette fois-ci a été choquante.
Le burger servi n'avait plus rien à voir avec celui que je connaissais. Fromage au goût rance, steak haché sec, frites beaucoup trop salées & condiments (excès de cornichons & d'oignons) complètement déséquilibrés.
En tant que cliente fidèle, j'ai été profondément déçue. Lorsqu'un produit change à ce point, la moindre des choses serait d'en informer la clientèle (ex: le dire dans le menu ou changer le nom)
Petit restaurant très charmant. Le service était agréable & on a très bien mangé. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Ils ont aussi une belle carte de vins.

Nous étions assis au bar. Beaucoup d'espace pour y manger. Restaurant avec moins de 70 places, qui rend l'ambiance très agréable. Pas bruyant. Excellente nourriture. À refaire!
