Foiegwa propose une interprétation sans compromis des traditions culinaires françaises mariées à des classiques réconfortants et généreux. Le menu se concentre sur des plats de bistro emblématiques, caractérisés par des préparations riches comme le foie gras signature, les escargots et les steaks frites. Un élément central demeure le burger dense et décadent, alliant une boucherie traditionnelle à une exécution riche en beurre. L'aménagement intérieur évoque l'esthétique d'un café parisien typique, utilisant une configuration étroite qui favorise une ambiance dynamique et une proximité immédiate. Les miroirs et les finitions en laiton définissent l'espace, créant une atmosphère saturée qui privilégie le maximalisme des saveurs. L'établissement adopte une approche directe de la cuisine où la qualité des ingrédients dicte la composition de chaque assiette. Cette institution privilégie des portions robustes misant sur les techniques classiques plutôt que sur les tendances culinaires légères.
Foiegwa est largement reconnu comme un bistrot de quartier charmant et intime qui capture une énergie parisienne vibrante au cœur de Montréal. Les clients soulignent régulièrement la qualité exceptionnelle de sa cuisine, mettant en avant des plats incontournables comme les pâtes à la truffe, le foie gras généreux et les classiques du brunch tels que le bénédictine sur croissant ou les crêpes. Bien que la majorité des visiteurs louent un service chaleureux, professionnel et attentionné, la petite taille de l'établissement peut le rendre bruyant et animé, ce qui rend la réservation fortement recommandée. Malgré quelques avis plus mitigés concernant la taille des portions ou une expérience de service ponctuelle, le consensus général reflète une expérience culinaire mémorable et de haute qualité qui incite de nombreux clients à revenir.
Tartare beef was delicious came with fries, risotto was okay, gravlax presentation was lacking taste average. It was very busy make sure to make a reservation, restaurant is pretty cramped , service was friendly
* Cute little place, great vibe. * Service is super-friendly, but somewhat chaotic & disorganized. * Food is a hit or miss: Some dishes superb (the braised beef was heavenly), & some very mediocre & subpar (the Foie Gras pasta was starchy & hugely undercooked, the Crêpes Suzette was crude & drenched in Cointreau).

The food is phenomenal. I'm writing this review whilst still sitting in the restaurant, having booked to return tomorrow night also. We had the cod fritters, braised beef, spaghetti & chocolate mousse. All incredible! The best meal we have had in canada. A must for anyone in or visiting Montreal.
Great vibes, great food, great service. We went for a bit of a celebratory dinner & definitely was not cheap but worth the cost. Shrimp cocktail was good. The Cesar salad was perfectly dressed. The beef tartare was truly something else - covered in cheese is a nice touch. Don't miss the dill cucumber salad either. Memorable dinner.
A restaurant with a classic space, imbued with European style & the diverse & sophisticated flavors of French cuisine. My sister & I chose the following dishes: - Beef Tartare (appetizer) ~ $21.75 - Escargot (appetizer) ~ $15.50 - Truffle Pasta (main) ~ $28.75 - Truffle Fries (sides) ~ $9.25 Escargot was truly a pleasant surprise - the delicate flavor made me remember it forever after enjoying this legendary dish from a thousand years ago. According to my research, this type of snail is a specialty on the menu of Portugal or the Catalan region in Spain. However, in France, snails have just developed & become a very popular dish. Snail shells have also been found at Volubilis, an archaeological site in Morocco. From there, people have learned about the origin of this snail species. Accordingly, snails have been on the menu in France as well as other countries since the Romans brought them as a favorite snack 2000 years ago. Snails have been a food since ancient Rome, gradually becoming popular over time & existing & developing until today. After spreading to France, they became popular, especially snail dishes originating from the Burgundy region. On the other hand, beef tartare is not to my & my sister's taste. It seems that my sister & I are not used to enjoying completely raw beef, but are more suitable for seafood tartares such as salmon or tuna. Anyway, this is a quite unique dish, you can try it to see if it suits your taste. About Foiegwa's famous handmade truffle pasta, I was impressed with the natural flavor of the mushrooms combined with the rich cooking cream to create a smooth, attractive texture. The highlight is the truffle paste - a classy spice that brings a distinctive & passionate aroma. The price does not include 15% VAT & 25% tip. The total bill is nearly $110 for 2 people, which is too cheap for me - a delicious French restaurant, suitable for casual dining; at this price range, I believe that Foiegwa is absolutely a great choice.
Delightful restaurant! Overall: 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Truffle Pasta - 4.5/5 - I loved the flavours of the pasta & the egg was an awesome touch. Flavourful but not too strong or oily, was just right! Braised Beef - 4.5/5 - one of the softest beets I've ever eaten! It was so tasty & tender & both my friend & I really enjoyed it. Atmosphere - 5/5 loved the quaint look, the restaurant had so much character... wasn't just a typical restaurant. Service: 5/5 - everyone was friendly & helpful!
We were three. The calamari was terrible! Huge crust with a small rubbery piece inside. My braised beef was delish. The crepes suzette were rubbery. Dinner for three with an inexpensive bottle of wine was 300 dollars. You can eat anywhere for that amount!
Just wow! My wife & I ate here for dinner. We ordered two of their signature dishes. The pasta with butter & black truffle oil, & the beef tartare. They were exceptional. We also ordered fries from the side menu, which were without a doubt the best fries we have ever eaten! We did not order the burger with foie gras, but that will be on the menu next time!!!
