About

Foiegwa presents an unapologetic interpretation of French culinary traditions fused with high-calorie comfort food staples. The menu centers on classic bistro fare, characterized by rich preparations like signature foie gras, escargot, and steak frites. A standout feature remains the heavy, indulgent burger that balances traditional butchery with an elevated, buttery decadence. The interior environment channels the aesthetic of a classic Parisian haunt, utilizing a narrow, packed layout that emphasizes intimacy and constant movement. Mirrors and brass accents define the space, creating a dense, high-energy atmosphere that rejects minimalism in favor of maximalist flavor profiles. Guests encounter a straightforward approach to execution where ingredient quality dictates the composition of every dish. This establishment prioritizes consistent, robust portions that favor saturation and classic technique over modern, light-handed culinary trends.

19.25$ for one slice of french toas! With a puff of cream on top & maple syrup on the side. Nothing else! WOW that's abusing. Might as well charge the whole 20$ while you're there. My father ordered that & got an empty dish with just a slice of bread, you would expect a side of fruits... maybe 2 slices... I don't know something else. Even if it was the best french toast in Montreal, which it isn't. .. I only realized after finishing our meal that this was the price. I told the waiter, & he said, "Well, it's a thick slice of bread"... lol. Not going back for sure.

Great dining experience! I had the 25$ 3 course menu (Sun-Thur, past 9pm) & everything was really tasty. The truffle pasta lived up to the hype for me. Also our waiter was super nice.

Went for the after-9 Sunday to Thursday 3 course menu for $25. Food was delicious but portions were small (expected). Service was great & vibe was also excellent. Don't expect to be full from this menu but certainly worth it for the experience!

Chouette adresse d'un finaliste du top chef local, service très sympa & attentionné, cuisine originale, mais je ne mets que 4 étoiles car j'ai été un peu déçu par les cuisses de grenouille très grasses. Très recommandable malgré cela.

Tried the late night special. After 9pm, $25 for 3 courses plus deals on drink. Very good but not their best dishes. Understandably so given the price. Wife had the beef, not part of special deal but tasted real nice. Perfect service & nice ambiance.

Tellement bon. Plein de saveur & c'est une ambiance très décontractée, à ma surprise.

Spaghetti with truffle oil: I've been coming here mutliple times for the truffle spaghetti & each time it is super good. Very simple yet good dish. But also pretty expensive since the price went up. Update: the truffle has gotten more subtle, which is a bummer. This dish is worth it if you take the 25$ 3-course menu after 21h00. Remoulade de celeri: coleslaw style type of salad made with celeri. Dish is okay, but inconsistent. Mine was quite sour, I had to add salt. My husband's was midly bland. Cheesecake: very soft & creamy, but it tasted like cream cheese with just a sprinkle of sugar. Not cakey enough. The tartare: was properly seasonned, but doesn't come with anything like bread or croutons. Fries: Best fries ever. Not oily, stayed crunchy the whole meal & perfectly seasonned with bbq powder & salt. Came with the beef tartare. Beef tartare with black truffle: I don't know of they forgot the truffle or not, but I didn't taste it at all. I could see small truffle flakes but not tasteany truffle. The tartare was also pretty tasteless even with the chips. Had to add some salt. The chips were good & crunchy. Oysters: Took the 6 pieces oysters. Fresh, incredibly small. I don't eat oysters often so I wasn't sure what size to expect at a restaurant. To me it's small compared to the one I buy at home. Overall, food is okay, service is good & very fast, beautiful place. They blasted the AC despite it being already cold, so me & my friend had to keep our coats on (& other clients too). Only come here if you have money to splurge. The portions are very tiny & the price has risen in the last couple of years. The star of the night are the spaghetti & the fries. We were hungry again after.

Cute little spot for French food. Their pâté & beef tartare are delicious! Definitely a must try!
