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?)
