Foiegwa offre une ambiance intime de bistrot parisien, un espace petit mais chaleureux et un service attentionné, avec un menu où les plats phares comme les pâtes à la truffe, le foie gras, le tartare et le magret se mêlent à des classiques comme les oeufs Benedict et des options brunch ou menu tardif qui séduisent, dans un cadre convivial et abordable. Si les visites sont souvent louées pour l'ambiance, la nourriture et le bon rapport qualité-prix, certains témoignages signalent un service parfois lent ou distrait, une salle étroite et bruyante et des ajustements de menu qui ne tiennent pas toujours leurs promesses; néanmoins l'impression générale est celle d'un endroit charmant pour un rendez-vous, un repas entre amis ou une occasion spéciale, avec des réservations recommandées en raison du petit espace.
Fun place for brunch! The place is surprisingly small, but was curious to try after always see line-up for brunch on weekends. Wait can be long if the group is more than 2, & for brunch, it's first come first serve, no reservation. Seating inside is cozy & can be noisy. Once seated, service was great & food came out very fast. I tried their Foiegwa Slam & it was delish, but wish it included coffee. 😁 Overall, great experience, would go back & now curious to try their dinner menu. It's right across from Marché Atwater so good for a nice walk there after a good brunch!
Absolutely love this spot for date night but it was my first time coming for brunch & definitely won't be the last! The blt was so tasty & the lavender matcha was PERFECT!
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!

Had a lovely brunch here with my husband & a friend. The place is super cute & cozy, the waiter was great, & the food was delicious! We had a special dish, eggs benedict with pork, & was exceptional. We got there super early bc we were told it gets super crowded & people line up. I can now see why! I HIGHLY recommend!
The place is rather small so don't expect to have a lot of space. However, the service is nice & kind, & the food is of quality! I found the pancakes to be overated, but the eggs & bread were among the best I've ever had! It's a nice place to switch it up from the usual brunch chains

We came here on a cold Sunday morning to enjoy a hearty brunch, & we were properly satisfied. We made sure we arrived before 10 am, as there are no bookings on the weekends. That paid off as we got one of the most comfy tables. It is a tight place specially with the jackets, so it pays off to arrive early & being able to choose a more spacious one. This tightness adds to the atmosphere in a way but I guess it can be annoying for some. The food was absolutely delicious we had the croissant truffle Benedict as well as the blueberry pancakes with their delicious maple cream, accompanied by some freshly made cocktails. The cocktails were very fairly priced & my Bloody Caesar was on point. The food was full of flavor & satisfied all of our cravings, the pancakes with that texture & the maple cream are definitely a must in this place. Service was always proactive & very kind, couldn't catch her name but she was extremely friendly & always smiling.
Disappointing brunch on a Friday morning. Ordered the duck confit Benedict that arrived cold on a small plate. The potatoes that it came with were served much later, so we suspect they were burned originally & the egg dish got cold waiting. My friend ordered the grand slam, which came with a pancake but did not receive her maple syrup. Service was inattentive as the only waiter in the room was at the door seating new clients & setting the tables. There are so many better brunch places in Montreal that I would not recommend Foiegwa, especially at this price.
absolument rien d'exceptionnel ce petit resto pour lequel j'avais des attentes après avoir vue plusieurs pub sur IG…j'y suis allée pour le brunch & à ma grande surprise c'est beaucoup plus petit que je pensais..ils ont mis un mûre de miroir qui donne un effet de grandeur..on ne peut pas réserver pour le brunch alors il faut attendre..j'ai commandé le pain perdu, c'est une seule tranche de pain..j'avais encore faim en sortant de la.. bref je ne le recommande pas & n'y retournez pas.
Très bon restaurant pour un brunch. La cuisine est simple & c'est ce que l'on demande. Les serveurs sont attentifs, les plats sont maîtrisés & les prix sont raisonnables. L'ambiance du restaurant est très sympa sur un thème old school. Je recommande cet endroit!
I've been to Foiegwa before for a lovely brunch & so had high expectations - was disappointed tonight. The server first tried to put us at a tiny wee table mid aisle with awkward wooden chairs - too small for me & my son is 6ft tall - when it was almost empty. I asked to sit by the window along the padded bench which was completely open with 6 sets of free tables, & she said yes - odd that she sat us at the worst table. Still, friendly & brisk staff (8/10). I actually liked that one of the servers spoke exclusively French even though I was replying in English. Went for'MTL a table' which is great to try out menu sets - it helps me decide restos to visit for the rest of the year. My shrimp cocktail was 5 defrosted shrimp, served with minced greens/onions on top of Ketchup, ick - I'd expected a cocktail or rosemarie sauce (2/10). My teen's mushroom soup was delicious, nicely plated & the best thing we tried (8/10). The scallop risotto was creamy but only three scallops (about the size of a quarter) (6/10). I had the tiny half cornish hen topped with green beans, swimming in broth, but it was very dry (4/10). Had to ask for a spoon for the broth. My chocolate mousse was grainy, served in a wee ramekin with a thick hard almond cookie'lid' that was def not a'tuile' (2/10). The lovely server exchanged it for the panna cotta, topped with sweetened berries (thawed, not fresh) & a crunchy granola (7/10). As other reviewers have pointed out, portion sizes are small, & my teen left hungry. Based on this meal I would not go back for dinner, though I think it'd be fine for a glass of wine as I like the atmosphere & staff is attentive.
Good brunch & late night eats. Conveniently placed next to Atwater cocktail club. Sometimes a wait to get it but worth it. Milkshake & fries available too :)
Mouthwatering, delicious must try the truffle fries , spaghetti is amazing , espresso drinks are pretty good, nice latte art, went for opening on a Friday for brunch walk in only got amazing food & service. Would definitely recommend.
