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.
Cozy little restaurant with a great ambiance & good service. I went for their special night-time'menu table d'hôte', the portions were good & the taste was okay. The price point is fair too. Good experience.
This place is such a cozy spot with great food & service. I love the diner vibes & the place is great for conversations. The service was quick & friendly & the prices are reasonable.
A bit overhyped & overpriced. The food was just okay, nothing spectacular (mind you, its breakfast/brunch so I didn't have masaive expectations). The prices are high for what you get.
I had the unpleasant experience of asking for extra ham on my dish, I was told by the waiter that it was a substantial portion of ham which is why they couldn't simply replace the sausage in my dish with a portion of ham. When the plate got to me, there were two thin slices of ham, each cut in half. So really, this was one thin slice of a ham. I asked the waiter if he had forgotten the extra, he checked with the kitchen & said'no, this is it'. This extra portion (slice) was 4$.
It feels like a dishonest approach to extras, nothing worse than going to brunch & feeling that you're getting squeezed for money despite the hard costs of the meal being low (potatoes, bread, eggs & meat, no veggies). See the photos & judge if this would have been worth upwards of 30$ for you.
Montreal French Food with great cocktails. Sit at the bar to interact with the friendly bar & kitchen staff or find an intimate table for you & your friends. Every dish is delicious & thoughtful. Worth the price!
It's such a cute little spot. The vibe is cozy & welcoming, & the staff was super nice & attentive throughout our meal.
We started with the fried chicken appetizer & the foie gras, both were great, but the foie gras really stood out, one of the best I've had. The fried chicken was tasty too, though the portion could've been a bit bigger. The asparagus was a bit of a letdown, not quite what we were hoping for.
For mains, I had the truffle tartare, which was absolutely delicious. My husband had the beef bavette, cooked & seasoned perfectly.
Overall, the food was great & the prices are really reasonable for the quality. Would definitely come back to try more!

We got really kind service & the food was just sooo good. It's our second time coming & both times were such great experience. The burger & beef tartare were super yummy! Prices are very affordable too. Def recommend if you're in the area!

Prices & ambiance were great. We had the after hours menu, which was a great deal for a 3 course dinner. The smash burger was good, a standard burger, & the fries were tasty. Really liked the muscles & the sauce. Brownie was okay, a bit dense. Overall, great food for the price!
Overrated for the price. The portions were small & over priced. We left hungry & the flavours weren't great. Again, for the price we were hoping for more. For example, the pasta is $30 for such a small amount. We were fine with having a 2 hour time limit but the food took a while to come out & then we got dessert but they forgot about the sparkler for my friends birthday so they had to come out with a piece of bread with a sparkler in it. Then before we were done eating they told us our time was up & we had to leave. It just felt rushed & disingenuous as an experience.
We came here on a cold Sunday morning to enjoy a hearty brunch, & we were properly satisfied. We made sure we arrived before 10 am, as there are no bookings on the weekends. That paid off as we got one of the most comfy tables. It is a tight place specially with the jackets, so it pays off to arrive early & being able to choose a more spacious one. This tightness adds to the atmosphere in a way but I guess it can be annoying for some. The food was absolutely delicious we had the croissant truffle Benedict as well as the blueberry pancakes with their delicious maple cream, accompanied by some freshly made cocktails. The cocktails were very fairly priced & my Bloody Caesar was on point. The food was full of flavor & satisfied all of our cravings, the pancakes with that texture & the maple cream are definitely a must in this place. Service was always proactive & very kind, couldn't catch her name but she was extremely friendly & always smiling.
Disappointing brunch on a Friday morning. Ordered the duck confit Benedict that arrived cold on a small plate. The potatoes that it came with were served much later, so we suspect they were burned originally & the egg dish got cold waiting. My friend ordered the grand slam, which came with a pancake but did not receive her maple syrup. Service was inattentive as the only waiter in the room was at the door seating new clients & setting the tables. There are so many better brunch places in Montreal that I would not recommend Foiegwa, especially at this price.
This place is overrated. We went there for the 3 courses for 25$ & the food portions were not only very small, but it was also very mid. We were excited about the truffle spaghetti & honestly the pasta tasted like the buldack carbonara one. It tasted cheap & not worth the price. It's a very small place, very crowded but it has a charm, sadly not as amazing as it was advertised on TikTok. :( I'm glad we had the chicken liver. It saved the night.
