Foiegwa synthesizes the soul of a classic French bistro with a distinct focus on indulgent comfort food staples. The menu centers on elevated preparations of animal proteins, featuring rich elements like foie gras integrated into hearty burgers and savory accompaniments. Deep, clarified flavors define the kitchen approach, where traditional techniques meet substantial portion sizes that cater to appetites seeking robust textures. Polished surfaces, vibrant red accents, and classic diner aesthetic elements create an atmosphere that prioritizes functional comfort over formal constraint. Every dish maintains a rigorous consistency, emphasizing quality ingredients that stand at the center of the culinary identity. This establishment serves as a deliberate intersection between Parisian culinary heritage and accessible, high-calorie satisfaction, providing a clear, uncompromising experience focused entirely on the strength of the signature plates.
Foiegwa is consistently described as a charming, intimate spot with a Parisian vibe where a diverse menu blends comforting bistro classics with standout brunch and late night options; dishes like truffle pasta, foie gras, beef tartare and eggs Benedict are frequently praised for quality, presentation and flavor, though a few items feel small for the price or can be overcooked or underseasoned. The service is often lauded for friendly, attentive and professional demeanor, and the atmosphere is repeatedly highlighted as cozy and stylish, albeit sometimes noisy due to the small space; reservations are usually recommended, especially on weekends. Cocktails and desserts win high marks and the overall experience is described as great for dates, friends nights out, or special occasions, with several guests planning to return, even as a few reviews note uneven experiences or crowds during peak hours.
Je mets 0 car je n'encourage pas la cruauté envers les animaux. J'habite le quartier mais jamais je ne viendrais y manger. Gaver des animaux pour avoir du foie gras c'est de la torture.
Nous avons adoré notre brunch délicieux 🤤

Delicious pancakes & french toast, (I peeked at the other tables & everything looked as delicious), portions are good & staff is very friendly & attentive.
Nous avons passer une excellente soirée. Ambiance relaxe & chaleureuse, service impeccable du début à la fin. Excellent rapport qualité?prix, avec un très beau choix de cocktails & une carte de vins variée. Une belle découverte !
I love this restaurant. Went last week to enjoy an early celebration of my birthday with my family & decided to try the late menus & others ( may I say they take out the dessert wich it's a shame but completly understand). Tried the oysters/ Salade cesar & the tartare. No comment cause everthing was delicious I will love to see an option to add chicken to the Salade cesar but thats me. For the main wee chose the duck & the fish of the day wish was salmon again the meat were excellent but may I say pairing duck & pepper with onions feels pretty strange. Im not a fan of spinach & it did felt a bit to healthy & not savory enough thanks it had that delicious hollandaise. Finally I couldn't expect more for the profiteroles they were perfect.
Also a must try is their French fries with truffle!
Delish! Great spot for breakfast. We had couple slam plates with three meats, two eggs & a delicious blueberry pancake. Great fresh squeezed oj. Place rocks.. Will return 100%.

Service was sooo good. Kind, funny, & knowledgeable. Thanks for a good night. The food was delicious. The tartare was one of the best I've ever had. Really cute room!
Cozy little restaurant with a great ambiance & good service. I went for their special night-time'menu table d'hôte', the portions were good & the taste was okay. The price point is fair too. Good experience.
Excellent service & food. Small restaurant with a lot of atmosphere. We enjoyed the cocktails,
The oysters, nice portions of fois gras, tartare & very tender perfect hanger steak. Will definitely return!

From the moment we walked in, the space felt quaint, cozy, & inviting. The service struck a perfect balance between polished & relaxed, which made for a really enjoyable dining experience.
Everything we ordered was delicious - the Caesar salad, roast chicken, beef tartare, & truffle fries were all standout dishes. The spicy margarita was great, but the espresso martinis we had as a nightcap were definitely the highlight.
One small note: I'd recommend asking for the truffle sauce on the lighter side. While the flavour was excellent, the fries at the bottom of the plate became quite saturated, making them a bit too rich to finish. That said, the truffle fries paired perfectly with the beef tartare.
Dessert was beautifully presented, though a touch heavy on the chocolate - one of the cream puffs ended up a bit soggy. Still, this didn't take away from what was easily our best dining experience during our time in Montreal.
We'd absolutely love to come back.

Quel endroit charmant - je recommande vivement.
Dès notre arrivée, l'ambiance était chaleureuse, intime & accueillante. Le service était à la fois soigné & détendu, ce qui a rendu l'expérience très agréable.
Tous les plats que nous avons commandés étaient délicieux : la salade César, le poulet rôti, le tartare de boeuf & les frites à la truffe se démarquaient particulièrement. La margarita épicée était très bonne, mais les espresso martinis en fin de repas ont été notre coup de coeur.
Un petit point à noter : je recommanderais de demander la sauce à la truffe plus légère. Le goût était excellent, mais les frites au fond de l'assiette étaient un peu trop imbibées, ce qui les rendait assez riches à terminer. Cela dit, elles accompagnaient parfaitement le tartare de boeuf.
Le dessert était très beau visuellement, mais légèrement trop chocolaté - l'un des choux à la crème est devenu un peu détrempé. Cela dit, cela n'enlève rien au fait que ce fut notre meilleure expérience culinaire à Montréal.
Nous espérons y revenir avec plaisir.

From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported straight to Paris. It was a truly remarkable dining experience. Every detail captured the charm & romance of a Parisian bistro, & the food was magnifique.
When we arrived they didn't have a table for us despite our reservation. We waited 20 mins & were sat but after ordering drinks & food we had our food & almost finished it before getting our coffees & smoothie. Our server was very sweet & apologized & took them off the bill but it definitely impacted our experience. The food was decent, the blueberry pancake was really good but everything else was just okay. My server was still lovely & I really liked her just maybe an off day for sure.
