Foiegwa est souvent décrit comme un endroit charmant et cosy, avec une ambiance bistrot parisien qui se prête autant au brunch qu’au dîner ou à une soirée; le service est généralement salué pour sa chaleur, son efficacité et son attention, même si certains passages en période d’affluence peuvent donner une impression de rythme plus pressé ou de lenteur; côté cuisine, les plats vedettes reviennent fréquemment: des pâtes à la truffe et des plats de foie gras, du magret et des fruits de mer, des veloutés de champignons et des desserts qui clôturent bien le repas. Le rapport qualité-prix est perçu comme satisfaisant dans l’ensemble, mais certaines notes évoquent des portions plus petites ou des prix élevés au brunch, et quelques expériences de brunch ont laissé une impression mitigée. L’atmosphère intime et conviviale, les cocktails et les vins ajoutent à l’attrait, tout comme la possibilité de tester des menus découverte ou des offres nocturnes; en somme, Foiegwa apparaît comme une adresse prisée à Montréal pour des sorties chaleureuses et gourmandes, bien que des améliorations ponctuelles puissent être souhaitables selon les visites.
The quality & preparation of the food was excellent. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked &, despite being literally covered in sauce, was still crispy; my one criticism here is that the meat itself could have been more flavorful but the sauce makes up for it. The bechamel fries were probably the best fries I have ever had. My girlfriend loved the burger. The chocolate mousse was perfect; rich & chocolatey. All of this speaks to the skill of the chef which is a rare find these days.
Service was excellent. Incredibly fast & friendly.

I went here alone for brunch! Service is nice! I enjoyed chicken (on the waffle), it was so crispy & yummy ! It was amazing because the maple syrup was thick brown, but delicious ! (It was first time to see that type of maple syrup) Generally, everything is basic :)
Disappointing. The house Old Fashioned was poorly mixed & lacked the essential cherry. Fried chicken was tasty but very little sauce & no vegetables or anything to go with it. Pot au feu contained very little meat, overcooked vegetables & did not have the standard pearl onions. A cute restaurant but not a great dining experience.

The service was good, they were very friendly & were smooth on delivering their service. The food was average, considering the price. I had the chicken & waffles, & ended up slightly dissatisfied as the sauce they added to it was too sweet & should have been put on the side instead of drenching the waffles. The atmosphere was way too loud & I couldn't hear my own thoughts.
The food here was amazing! We ordered the BBQ frog legs, chicken liver mousse, escargot, & Caesar salad for appetizers to share & they were all super tasty. The frog legs tasted exactly like fried chicken. For mains we ordered the truffle spaghetti, truffle Parmesan beef tartare, & the duck gnocchi & they were so good! The truffle spaghetti was my favourite & it was super rich & full of flavour. The staff were all super friendly & it was nicely decorated.
Both of two dishes are amazing, which are beyond my expectation. The chicken liver is covered by some jam, therefore its offensive smell is readily covered. What a clever chef:) The spaghetti is creamy & milky. But the place is smaller than I thought.
We arrived at 9:10 PM. We had a 945 reservation at the bar & got there a little early. The hostess was gracious enough to give us a table instead, so that we wouldn't have to wait until 9:45 PM. The chicken ballotine was the best dish. The food runner/ server was very attentive. He had such a nice attitude about him. Definitely recommend!!!
