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.
Super expérience ! On reviendra sans hésiter 😌
Je connaissais le resto de nom parce que ma salle de sport est juste à côté, & j'avais entendu parler de leur menu du soir à 25$ (dispo du dimanche au jeudi à partir de 21h). J'avais un peu oublié, jusqu'à ce que je tombe sur leur pub Insta avec un menu vraiment sympa. (Avec notamment des pâtes à la truffe).
Du coup, avec mon copain, on a testé un dimanche à 21h... & c'était top!
Tout était top, le service efficace.
Le lieu est petit donc pas mal bruyant. Pas un endroit où tu t'attardes pendant des heures, mais pour un dîner savoureux & avec bon service, c'est parfait.
We got really kind service & the food was just sooo good. It's our second time coming & both times were such great experience. The burger & beef tartare were super yummy! Prices are very affordable too. Def recommend if you're in the area!

Prices & ambiance were great. We had the after hours menu, which was a great deal for a 3 course dinner. The smash burger was good, a standard burger, & the fries were tasty. Really liked the muscles & the sauce. Brownie was okay, a bit dense. Overall, great food for the price!
I loved the place, it's beautifully decorated, & the service was excellent. A young woman with curly hair served us & she was very attentive. The food was delicious, & they have great vegetarian options. However, I was a bit disappointed with the orange juice. Being Brazilian, I'm used to fresh juice, & it seemed like the juice wasn't fresh or might have been mixed with packaged juice. Other than that, I really enjoyed my visit & would definitely come back
I had a great experience at Foiegwa overall. The ambience is really cool - lively & stylish - although it did get a bit louder as the evening went on, & the tables were a little narrower. I found the burger a bit overrated, but aside from that, everything else was excellent. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try & will definitely go back!

Our second time here in a two week span- the food is incredible, & the service exceptional. On our first visit, only bar seats were available (super comfy & spacious), & Jack the bartender is so awesome that we requested to sit at the bar on our second visit, hoping he would be there. A new must visit for us whenever we are in town, can't wait to come back!

Un de mes endroits préférés pour bruncher à Montréal. Les portions sont généreuses, les boissons sont toutes plus délicieuses les unes que les autres, & le service est très agréable!
I love this place! Ive been countless times. I always come back for their famous truffle spaghetti it is amazing! I also enjoyed their 25$ three course meal special that they offer every Sunday to Thursday starting at 9pm, I would definitely recommend especially their Mushroom Veloute!
We always love the atmosphere at Foiegwa, it's like being transported to a bistro in the middle of Paris. The cocktails, food & service have always been fantastic every time we visit!

This was a really good restaurant. We tried the late night tasting menu & got the mushroom velouté (soup), smash burger & truffle pasta. The truffle pasta was the highlight of the meal really creamy & you could really taste the truffle. The smash burger was also good but I would say the bechamel fries were really good as well. The velouté was also really good & a great starter, personally it looked tastier than the chicken liver. Overall this is a great place for a date & the place is cozy & nice. The 25$ tasting menu is absolutely worth it
Such a memorable experience! The cocktails were deliciously inventive, the food was perfect, & the service led by maître d George & the team was amazing!
