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 pour son atmosphère chaleureuse, son décor élégant et son menu savoureux, avec des plats signatures comme les spaghettis à la truffe, le tartare de bœuf et les crêpes souvent cités comme des expériences mémorables. Bien que de nombreux clients saluent le service amical et professionnel ainsi que l'énergie vibrante qui en font un lieu idéal pour le brunch ou une soirée en amoureux, la petite taille de l'établissement entraîne souvent un environnement bruyant et des temps d'attente prolongés. Les avis sur la cuisine demeurent majoritairement positifs, bien que certains clients aient souligné des incohérences occasionnelles dans la préparation des plats, la taille des portions ou la fluidité du service. Malgré des avis partagés sur le rapport qualité-prix et la proximité des tables, la plupart des visiteurs le décrivent comme une adresse montréalaise pleine de charme et recommandent vivement de réserver pour garantir une visite agréable.
The beef tartare & the pasta was delicious! The service & atmosphere was very nice, a nice & quiet restaurant. Their late night menu is great price for what they offer!
Tutto abbastanza buono ma le porzioni erano francamente un po' scarse, soprattutto a fronte dei prezzi. Il french toast era mezza fetta, la salsiccia era piuttosto piccola. La cosa migliore è stata il burger con croissant bun e i drink, la peggiore indubbiamente la pasta: davvero troppo cotta al punto volendo di poterla mangiare col cucchiaio, in più l'uovo davvero non c'entrava niente, il sugo era già abbastanza grasso e l'uovo era davvero di troppo, come il Cipolletti che davvero era fuori luogo. Il volume della musica era un po' alto per i miei gusti. Siamo stati serviti da una ragazza gentilissima.
Cannot go wrong with truffle & pasta, superior combo. My friend doesn't like truffle & he gave this pasta a 10/10. Fries were also hugeeee & oh so good

Cozy & stylish place to dine in. Foiegwa was recommended by a few of my close friends who had great things to say about the menu items.
A few of us chose la table d'hôte which is great for those who come here for the first time & would like to taste a bit of everything, while I ordered the homemade truffle spaghetti with oysters on the side. The oysters were slightly too salty in my opinion. The pasta was impeccable & we had to make sure everyone tried it!!
We also ordered their cocktails, the Mariposa (the drink on the left) was delightful
The brunch at Foie Gras was a real disappointment. I found it very average, with low-quality ingredients & flavors that were simply not there. The taste was lacking overall & did not meet expectations for a brunch experience.
On the positive side, their pasta dishes & the burger are actually quite decent & much better than the brunch. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make up for how underwhelming the brunch was.
Made reservations for New Years Day dinner. Ordered the French onion soup to start, which was delicious. Ordered the duck special of the day & the three course meal deal for $35 which included an appetizer (we got the eggs) plate (the truffle pasta) & dessert (the chocolate mousse). Everything was delicious. The foie gras was delicious. Our drinks were delicious too, though on the smaller side & a bit expensive compared to where else we've gone in Montreal. We left & agreed this is one of the best meals we've each had. The place is very small so I recommend a reservation.
I'd heard so many good things about this restaurant, so I finally decided to try it out - but honestly, it was mediocre at best. I ordered the late-night table d'hôte, starting with a stale potato salad, followed by a dry, cold, & pasty truffle pasta that barely had any truffle flavour. For dessert, I got a sandy brownie that felt like a piece that sat on the counter for days. The wine selection by the glass was okay. Given that it's only 25$ for the whole 3 course menu, it's definitely not bad, but I expected so much better for such an institution.
I've heard about Foiegwa since forever & finally tried it for the Mtrl a table event.
First of all, the service was so warm & friendly. Professional while not pretentious. I felt we were really a regular at a neighbourhood restaurant even though it was our first time here.
Food was delicious. Fair portions. Well balanced in flavours except for the pasta which was a bit salty.
Atmosphere was casual & cozy. Great for a date night.
Would definitely come back again. We kinda fell in love with that spot. Wish brunch took reservations!
