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.
We ordered one of their most famous dishes which is the truffle cream pasta. The dish was flavorful & well-prepared, but the portion size was rather small, especially given the higher price point. On the bright side, the service was pleasant & attentive. Additionally, their cocktails were a highlight-there were plenty of options, & the ones we tried were excellent. ( Europe trip) Overall, it's a good spot for a flavorful meal & great drinks, though a bit on the expensive side for the portions served.
Atmosphere is great. Service is good. Order of chicken mouse, pasta, oysters, Food review: Late night menu, Yo not gonna lie that truffle pasta had a certain acidity that brought me back to a flavour of p*****. Not bad p***** right. Acidity over all plates got us bad, the apple sauce & pasta. P* taste. Fuggazi beer was nice. Pomegranate wine, I'd chose something else. Bad luck?

Better than Bouillon Bilk, at least in my opinion. This place scored higher on both quality & value. The foie gras was generous & delicious, the truffle pasta could easily compete with what you'd find in the markets of Florence, & the scallop risotto was spot on. The staff provided exceptional service. Thanks Sara!
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!
Had a meal set for 25. From salad to mains everything was delicious, I would say one of the best pasta I ever had. Highly recommended to go & try their food
Loved this place. The after 9pm 3 course meal for $25 CAD was awesome. You can still get items off the regular menu, but don't pass on the 3 course one. Choice of fois grois/cucumber salad, hamburger/truffle pasta, & a dessert. I'd pass on the tuna tartare, but otherwise everything was great. Small, cozy, & very young (lots of college students) after 9pm. Reservations are a must for that special. Place holds only 42 people. Service was excellent too

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!!!
We got the late night 3 course meal for $25. The pasta was the best! But the other dishes were okay. Service was slow & the tables are too close together so it's hard to have privacy or room to get up & get in your seat.
Great dining experience! I had the 25$ 3 course menu (Sun-Thur, past 9pm) & everything was really tasty. The truffle pasta lived up to the hype for me. Also our waiter was super nice.
Good appetizers, highly recommend frog legs. Drinks were very good too, both taste & presentation-wise. Pasta felt very anticlimactic, wouldn't order again. Atmosphere of a diner, good if you like cozy. Prices are a bit high for the portion size IMO

I have been there 3-4 times for both brunch & dinner. The dishes are always great, BUT the drinks are outstanding!! You might feel a bit cramped up in busy night. Overall is a worthy place to try! P.S. The fried chicken with waffle & the black truffle pasta with egg yoke are my top reformations.
While the bartender & her drinks were excellent, the dining experience fell short. Despite not being picky, I found that every dish lacked flavor. We waited over an hour for a small portion of pasta, which simply wasn't good. Regrettably, this experience has led me to the decision not to return & I would suggest exploring other dining options.
Very charming. The food is very very rich. We got the 3 course meal for $25 deal (available Sunday-Thursday after 9pm) The truffle pasta was really good. The chicken liver was also very good. We didn't love everything else. Make a reservation at least a few days in advance. Great atmosphere for a group smaller than 4 people.
I honestly loved this place. Just maybe a few tweaks would it make it even better. For one...I know it's a brunch service but the portions could be a little bigger. My pasta for example was $28 & though very delightful & very flavorful, was really small for such a price. & the salad as well..I'm not a big guy but I'm a man. I need more than four forks full of arugula & greens. Overall experience was good for me & my date but honestly, I think she ordered what I should've 🤣

My third time going to Foiegwa & I am never disappointed. A nice restaurant, fair pricing, delicious food & kind staff. I recommend the fries( they are a must have!!), the truffle pasta & any kind of cocktail. A small restaurant with a hopping ambiance make sure to reserve. Looking forward to trying the brunch!
No reservation brunch, staff was nice Good coffee, I didn't t like the bloody Caesar (too strong & lacking celery salt but appreciated the option to choose the alcohol paired with the cocktail) I ordered the truffle pasta, it was delicious & not overpowered but a bigger portion would have been appreciated. The croque mamie was good & generous, really enjoy the breakfast potatoes too. The butter croissant tasted a bit stale, like it was made from croissant the day before.. the jam & peanut butter made it sweeter & ok to eat
Très bon resto avec un bon service. Leur fameux pasta à la truffle était au-delà de mes expectations. Je ne dirais malheureusement pas que l'ensemble de l'expérience était parfait, car la quantité de nourriture aurait pu être meilleure 🥺
