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.
It's such a cute little spot. The vibe is cozy & welcoming, & the staff was super nice & attentive throughout our meal.
We started with the fried chicken appetizer & the foie gras, both were great, but the foie gras really stood out, one of the best I've had. The fried chicken was tasty too, though the portion could've been a bit bigger. The asparagus was a bit of a letdown, not quite what we were hoping for.
For mains, I had the truffle tartare, which was absolutely delicious. My husband had the beef bavette, cooked & seasoned perfectly.
Overall, the food was great & the prices are really reasonable for the quality. Would definitely come back to try more!
I came here for breakfast & ordered scrambled eggs. The server didn't ask how I wanted them cooked, & when they arrived, they were undercooked for my taste. I politely asked if they could be made well done, & the server replied rather rudely,'They're scrambled eggs.' I responded calmly,'I know, I just prefer them well cooked. Thank you.' The potatoes were also disappointing, & overall, the staff could definitely be more polite.

Restaurante pequeno, necessário reservar. Boas bebidas e ostras frescas. Pedimos o pato e o steak, nao achamos nada demais. A comida é boa, mas nao é sensacional. Com isso, achei um pouco caro pois esperava mais da comida.
Nous sommes venus pour tester le menu à 26 dollars entrée plat dessert de fin de soirée, & j'ai un peu été déçu sur plusieurs points, l'entrée avec des oeufs durs à la truffe accompagnée d'une salade n'était pas à retenir, la truffe était présente mais un peu légère, la salade était elle imbibé de sauce ce qui était un peu dommage,
Le tartare avec frites était bon, dommage que les frites soient beaucoup trop salé, ça gâche un peu…
& pour finir le brownie était ok,
L'ambiance du restaurant était sympa quoique un peu bruyante mais dans l'ensemble bien,
Le menu a 26 dollars vaut le coût comparé au prix affiché en routine cependant cela ne donne pas forcément envie d'y retourner,
Merci,
Everything is perfect, except for service, especially they just gave 11 oyster, supposed to be 12. We just noticed it after we left. Will think it twice next time before going to this restaurant.

Stupendous cocktails to start! The food was delicious as well. We shared a dozen oysters, white asparagus, magret with foie gras & the spaghetti. The oysters were perfectly shucked, sweet & briny. A bit of grated horseradish would have been a nice addition to the mignonette & hot sauce options. The white asparagus with clarified butter, capers & toasted croutons was absolutely delicious. However, the stalks were a bit thin & because of that, more of the tougher end was included making it a bit hard to cut & stringy...otherwise food would be solidly 5 star. The duck was delicious, nicely medium rare & the foie gras was melt in your mouth. The demi was delicious & went well with the potatoes. The truffled pasta was simple but not over powered with truffle oil & reminiscent of stringozzi con tartufo from our recent trip to Umbria. A vegetable side dish other than salad would be nice to add (beans, broccoli?)
Une ambiance sympa, c'est un restaurant dont tout le monde parles à Montréal, pourtant après un deuxième essaie je trouve encore que certains plats manquent d'assaisonnement, c'est bien mais je penses qu'il y aurait place à l'amélioration. Un commentaire qui se veux constructif rien de plus.
I was there yesterday. The food was good but the service was horrible. The waitress had a terrible attitude. Very rude & unpleasant. Service like this is not acceptable, I won't be coming back.
