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.
An amazing place, the service is five stars as the same of the food!!! Everything is delicious.. it is not my first time & let me tell you that always is perfect!!
Everyone was beyond exceptional. The atmosphere, the staff but of course mostly the food was amazing. Special mentions for the gnocchi with duck & the octopus. Thank you for this moment.
We loved our time at Foiegwa. The burrata was exquisite, & the burger is always a comforting choice. The parmesan & truffle fries is way better than a poutine. My girlfriend had the spaghetti, which I regret not choosing, because it was excellent. The service was also very good.

We always visit Foiegwa when we're in Montreal. Tiny space, but comfortable. Perfect for a casual date night. Love the spaghetti, so rich & delicious. Portion size could be slightly larger though. Also had the tartare which was excellent. Cocktails were wonderful. We had room for dessert & tried the chocolate mousse for the first time & it ended up being the star of the whole meal! I'm still thinking about it. Perfect balance of sweet & bitter chocolate flavour, & so light & creamy. We shared one, but next time I'm getting my own!
Aperçu dans une publication d'Instagram, très heureuse de cette découverte! Super service avec George! Tout à été excellent, drinks, entrées, repas & miam dessert! À retourner quand je passe à Montréal! ❤️
