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.

The food was good, but honestly I wouldn't go unless you're getting the late-night $25 menu. Paying 4x the price for the same portions just isn't worth it.
I ordered the escargot & it was good but they were hard to get out of the shells with the regular utensils they gave us, & there was no bread to soak up the sauce.15 minutes later, the table next to us ordered the same thing & theirs came with bread.
The mains were also way too small for the price. I paid $26.50 for the spaghetti, which you can literally get as part of their $25 late-night menu. We also got charged $7.50 for a bottle of sparkling water without being told it cost extra.
Two appetizers & two mains came to over $100 with no drinks, & we stopped for food on the way home because we were still starving.
The atmosphere is really nice & the food itself was good, but definitely not worth the regular prices. Feels like one of those places TikTok overhyped. I'd only go back for the $25 late-night menu. Not a bad place at all just not worth the full prices.
The place sits about 30 people & is very intimate. The walls are full of art (black & white portraits).
A nice place for couples or smallish groups. Would not be as suitable for large groups.
It was our first time & we tried the late night / after 9 pm menu (excellent deal).
We tried all the items & the best ones were: beef tartare (+$3), Caesar salad & the spaghetti (simple yet so rich).
Will pass on the shrimp cocktail (common). The smash burger needs to be eaten with a knife & fork, & the duck (+$3) was a generous portion with red meat sauce (?) & the corn nibs were okay.
The place was packed - & the service was excellent.
Everyone was super friendly.
I had chocolate french toast & it was so good. Not sickening sweet either... just the right sweet salty & softness.
My son had the smoked salmon & the spaghetti. He really enjoyed his meal.
Honestly, Foiegwa is always a nice & excellent restaurant that never disappoints with its food selection.
I went with my friend to try their special 25$ 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
