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.
Honestly, Foiegwa is always a nice & excellent restaurant that never disappoints with its food selection.
I went with my friend to try their special 25$ set menu again this year after 9 pm, & it was such a steaaaaal.
Although the choice was pretty limited, the food was bussing & succulent.
We had the beef tartare, homemade spaghetti with butter & black truffle, & the duck breast. The taste & aroma of the food were so rich, flavorful, & tender.
Although the service was a little bit slower, the staff were still attentive & present to check on you. Definitely worth going back to try their other menus.
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
Chaque fois que je vais au Foigwa, c'est toujours une belle expérience incroyable. Le classique spaghetti monté au beurre & truffe noire est toujours mythique. Il faut le détour !
The food, the wine & mostly Sarah our waitress were amazing, don't sleep on spaghetti you might regret it. First time, been waiting for a while to go & honestly my wife was happy, so was I. Thank you for the experience
felt so sick eating here for the first time had to spaghetti w the raw egg & devilled eggs it might of but them. the eggs were also cold like straight of the fridge cold. felt like i was dying genuinely right after eating. wish i got my money back.

Foiegwa is such a hidden gem. It's small, but that's exactly what makes it cozy (corner table gang 🙋🏻?♀?). The lighting & vibe make you feel right at home.
We went for Montréal à table, & the service was great from the start - friendly, clear, & attentive. I had the shrimp cocktail, spaghetti, & tartine. The shrimp cocktail was generous & flavorful, & the spaghetti… honestly, a party in my tummy. Perfectly cooked & so comforting.
What stood out most were the little details - the person who brought our food wasn't the same one who took the order, but he knew exactly who each dish was for (no awkward'who had the spaghetti?' moment 👏). Plates were cleared at the right time, never rushed.
The food felt homemade, full of care - the kind that brings back memories. My date loved the dessert too.
If you're looking for a cozy spot with great service & heartwarming food, Foiegwa is it.
Nous avons passé un bon moment chez Foiegwa. Le service était sympathique & efficace. Tous les plats étaient très bons. Mention spéciale aux spaghetti au beurre & truffe, un délice! La portion pourrait toutefois être un peu plus généreuse, j'ai dû commander un autre plat après, qui était aussi très bon. Bonne ambiance, mais tables très près les unes des autres vu la petitesse de l'endroit. Une belle découverte dans l'ensemble.
Much smaller cozier space & ambiance when I went at night for the $25 night menu. Service was amicable, quick, they change cutlery per course, & most of all, everything was delicious with amazing taste & texture. Portions were good & the $25 menu should fill you up. Truffle spaghetti & foie gras from MTL à table $35 menu are musts.
Foiegwa is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we walked in, the warmth of the staff set the tone for the evening. Everyone was genuinely kind, attentive, & welcoming without ever being intrusive.
The food was an absolute revelation!! We started with the asparagus à la grenobloise, which was bright, buttery, & perfectly balanced. It was simple in appearance but bursting with flavor. Then came the homemade spaghetti with butter, black truffle, egg yolk, & parmesan, a dish so rich & decadent it felt like a little piece of heaven on a plate. Every bite was silky, earthy, & indulgent in the best way possible. We finished with the profiteroles, delicate & airy, with just the right amount of sweetness to close the evening on a high note!
Overall, Foiegwa delivers that rare combination of refined cuisine & heartfelt hospitality. It's the kind of place where every detail, from the textures of the food to the thoughtfulness of the service, that makes you feel like you're experiencing something special. I can't wait to go back.

Stupendous cocktails to start! The food was delicious as well. We shared a dozen oysters, white asparagus, magret with foie gras & the spaghetti. The oysters were perfectly shucked, sweet & briny. A bit of grated horseradish would have been a nice addition to the mignonette & hot sauce options. The white asparagus with clarified butter, capers & toasted croutons was absolutely delicious. However, the stalks were a bit thin & because of that, more of the tougher end was included making it a bit hard to cut & stringy...otherwise food would be solidly 5 star. The duck was delicious, nicely medium rare & the foie gras was melt in your mouth. The demi was delicious & went well with the potatoes. The truffled pasta was simple but not over powered with truffle oil & reminiscent of stringozzi con tartufo from our recent trip to Umbria. A vegetable side dish other than salad would be nice to add (beans, broccoli?)
I love this place! Ive been countless times. I always come back for their famous truffle spaghetti it is amazing! I also enjoyed their 25$ three course meal special that they offer every Sunday to Thursday starting at 9pm, I would definitely recommend especially their Mushroom Veloute!
We opted for the'menu découverte'. Each dish was well-prepared & showcased the chef's attention to detail.
The portions are medium-sized but surprisingly filling. The highlight, of course, was the lovely foie gras, which lives up to the restaurant's name. It was rich & flavorful
Another standout was the spaghetti with egg, black truffle, & parmesan. The combination of flavors & textures was lovely.
To finish off the meal, we indulged in a dessert of chocolate mousse topped with an almond tuile. The mousse was decadent & perfectly complemented by the crispy wafer cookie, creating a delightful end to our dining experience. 🍫🍪
Overall, my visit to @foiegwa was fantastic. With well-crafted dishes, a cozy atmosphere.
L'ambiance est superbe, le prix est dérisoire, les cocktails sont incroyables mais la cuisine semble avoir la prétention d'être haute, malgré quelques vilains défauts. Outre l'assiette de spaghetti servie avec une cuillère ; pire : une cuillère servie *dans* l'assiette - le gâteau en dessert était lui aussi servi avec une cuillère, on repassera pour les coutumes de restauration 🤷 -, les deux plats principaux étaient drôlement salés (toutefois très bons). Peut-être pas très esthétiques car (ignorons la cuillère) les deux plats sont saupoudrés de fromage. Un tartare de boeuf plus italien que classique américain, mais avec un oeuf & de la sauce. Les ingrédients semblent de bonne qualité, l'entrée (velouté de champignons) absolument délicieuse. & une mayonnaise promise pour les frites qui n'a jamais été servie. 🙃🙂
