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.
A bit noisy on the weekend but it's a small place that's not a bother. Food was great had the blueberry pancakes & they were great. The benedicts on croissant were good but tasted a bit too much of truffle. Still very good. I definitely recommend it.
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.
Very good experience. I loved the croissant Benedict with truffle. The foie Gras was also delicious. Service was attentive & welcoming. Right next to an amazing market! Will be back.
Amazing place. I am not disappointed! They let us order the tasting menu for just 1 guest which gave my mom the opportunity to order another dish for us to try & share. This business is ethical & mindful of their guests & we were taken care of by all staff member. I believe this venue pools their tips amongst staff members because it was obvious that all of them paid attention to each guest & would help each other out to look after guests & I appreciate that. We can feel it through the attentive care & quality of service. The bill came out at $75 for 2 people who ate until near explosion. This was a very very worthy meal. We tried the chicken liver mousse, foie gras au torchon, truffle spaghetti & the escargots. Escargots could use a bit more flavour. The other dishes were amazing. Jeremy & Sarah provided amazing service, so thank you. Will be back again!
We were recommended this restaurant from a coworker for our girls weekend away. From the very start the staff were 10 out of 10! Very kind, professional & got us a great spot. The vibe in the small Cafe was so lovely woth great pictures & music. The drinks were amazing! Great selection of alcohol beverages & BEST part.... no children. This explained the high end experience & flavor in the food. The chef was accommodating for changes to the menu. The truffle eggs Benedict, duck confit egg Benedict & chicken & waffles were insane! Can't recommend this location enough. We went at 1030am & had no problem getting a table for 5 though it was full but when we left, the entire corner sidewalk was filled with waiting people. No reservations.
Came here with five people, got a great both, we don't speak any French & the service was phenomenal. The drinks were fantastic - we had cappuccino, espresso martini & had mimosa for the table. The food was unbelievable, we had a few different eggs Benedict, croque madame & chicken & waffles. The truffle hollandaise is to die for, & the fois gras torchon was perfect. The vibes here are also very cool, & everyone in your party has to be over 18 to dine.

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.
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?
Mouthwatering, delicious must try the truffle fries , spaghetti is amazing , espresso drinks are pretty good, nice latte art, went for opening on a Friday for brunch walk in only got amazing food & service. Would definitely recommend.

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!
Loud noise place, everyone sit quite tight. No service at all. Awful Steak quality not good meat. Truffle Spaghetti was not real truffle I have to say.

Have been to foiegwa four times over the last few years & it is one of my favourite restaurants in Canada in terms of its bang for buck. The homemade spaghetti with truffle is to die for ($28.75). The chicken liver mousse ($6.25)& bechamel parmesan truffle fries ($9.25) are both great. Service is friendly & quick. The restaurant is very cute.
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
A Canadian staple of Montreal & a pretty solid one. Did the 3 course meal for $49 CAD. Wish the portions were a little bit larger, but for the quality of food it was pretty solid. The Caesar salad with the shredded cheese was excellent, the spaghetti with truffle a perfect addition & to close it with chocolate mousse with the granola was memorable by far. Ask for their cocktail of the month if they don't mention it. Pretty good way to start the meal. Place is essential if you come to Montreal & are a food enthusiast like myself.
Got the $25 3-course meal plus the extra Betty Boop cocktail, very satisfied with everything! Started off with the chicken pâté, then with the creamy truffle spaghetti, & finished with a nice cheesecake. Everything was so tasty!
