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.
Nous avons passé un bon moment chez Foiegwa. Le service était sympathique & efficace. Tous les plats étaient très bons. Mention spéciale aux spaghetti au beurre & truffe, un délice! La portion pourrait toutefois être un peu plus généreuse, j'ai dû commander un autre plat après, qui était aussi très bon. Bonne ambiance, mais tables très près les unes des autres vu la petitesse de l'endroit. Une belle découverte dans l'ensemble.
Much smaller cozier space & ambiance when I went at night for the $25 night menu. Service was amicable, quick, they change cutlery per course, & most of all, everything was delicious with amazing taste & texture. Portions were good & the $25 menu should fill you up. Truffle spaghetti & foie gras from MTL à table $35 menu are musts.

A bit overhyped & overpriced. The food was just okay, nothing spectacular (mind you, its breakfast/brunch so I didn't have masaive expectations). The prices are high for what you get.
I had the unpleasant experience of asking for extra ham on my dish, I was told by the waiter that it was a substantial portion of ham which is why they couldn't simply replace the sausage in my dish with a portion of ham. When the plate got to me, there were two thin slices of ham, each cut in half. So really, this was one thin slice of a ham. I asked the waiter if he had forgotten the extra, he checked with the kitchen & said'no, this is it'. This extra portion (slice) was 4$.
It feels like a dishonest approach to extras, nothing worse than going to brunch & feeling that you're getting squeezed for money despite the hard costs of the meal being low (potatoes, bread, eggs & meat, no veggies). See the photos & judge if this would have been worth upwards of 30$ for you.
Great place for a nice dinner. The duck & beef mains were excellent, wouldn't change a thing. Only thing I wish they had was a dish with the seared foie gras besides the add on. The foie gras appetiser was delicious, but that add on is really something else. Maybe I didn't notice it in the menu, but would love a small plate with the add on foie gras. Very pleasant service, cozy vibe. A top contender for special occasions.
Foiegwa is always such a pleasure to come back to…. The food & the service are consistently great, & the atmosphere is lovely…!. The only downside is that sometimes you feel a bit rushed, especially when they mention the 1h15 time limit at the table & the need to order quickly
Other than that, everything is just spot on 👌
Foiegwa is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we walked in, the warmth of the staff set the tone for the evening. Everyone was genuinely kind, attentive, & welcoming without ever being intrusive.
The food was an absolute revelation!! We started with the asparagus à la grenobloise, which was bright, buttery, & perfectly balanced. It was simple in appearance but bursting with flavor. Then came the homemade spaghetti with butter, black truffle, egg yolk, & parmesan, a dish so rich & decadent it felt like a little piece of heaven on a plate. Every bite was silky, earthy, & indulgent in the best way possible. We finished with the profiteroles, delicate & airy, with just the right amount of sweetness to close the evening on a high note!
Overall, Foiegwa delivers that rare combination of refined cuisine & heartfelt hospitality. It's the kind of place where every detail, from the textures of the food to the thoughtfulness of the service, that makes you feel like you're experiencing something special. I can't wait to go back.

Très bonne cuisine. Service sympathique & efficace. Cadre agréable mais musique vraiment trop forte & peu adaptée à un restaurant ( plutôt pour un bar).
J'ai toujours adoré déjeuner au Foiegwa, surtout pour son bénédictine croissant, jambon & sauce hollandaise à la truffe. Par contre, je dois dire que je suis très déçu de voir la qualité descendre… Sur la première photo, il s'agit du plat tel que je l'ai toujours connu. La deuxième photo est le plat en septembre 2025. Que s'est-il passé? Plus de jambon blanc, mais plutôt une viande froide qu'on peut acheter à l'épicerie, plus de cheddar en abondance, plus de croissant croustillant, & surtout, une sauce commerciale qui goûte à peine la truffe. C'est réellement dommage…
Amazing vibe, aesthetic is really nice! Food was underwhelming though. The chicken & waffle & salmon Benedict was bland. Thank God for hot sauce. On top of that, i noticed a tiny hair on my pancake & told the server. He came back a few minutes later with the exact same plate. Choose the sweet over savory option. The pancake was SO good. Really made up for the whole meal. Matcha latte was nice as well. Overall experience 3/5
After a couple of drinks at their speakeasy next door, we came here for the dinner service. The food could be better. Maybe I had a high expectation as the cocktails were done so well. Nothing stood out. They were nice enough to let us in earlier even though the reservation was for 30 mins later. Washroom was interesting, the tinted window inside faces a major street. I might not come back for this one but I would still try the other restaurants under the same owner.
Après en avoir beaucoup entendu parler sur TikTok, je me suis rendu dans ce chouette restaurant avec ma mère qui était de passage... & on ne va pas se mentir, c'était un excellent choix !
Un restaurant à la décoration sobre mais très efficace, le personnel est rapide, efficace & d'une amabilité sans faille... & le plus important ! Les menus ont l'air tout E.X.C.E.P.T.I.O.N.N.E.L.S. ! Nous avons prix le menu du dernier service (car réservé sur le tard donc peu de disponibilité) & il était tout bonnement divin ! & quand on voit le prix qu'on paye en plus... une vulgaire honte tellement les 3 plats étaient somptueux ! Après cette première expérience, le besoin d'y retourner se fait ressentir, donc je recommande très fortement ce restaurant !
