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.
Just wow! My wife & I ate here for dinner. We ordered two of their signature dishes. The pasta with butter & black truffle oil, & the beef tartare. They were exceptional. We also ordered fries from the side menu, which were without a doubt the best fries we have ever eaten! We did not order the burger with foie gras, but that will be on the menu next time!!!
Great dining experience! I had the 25$ 3 course menu (Sun-Thur, past 9pm) & everything was really tasty. The truffle pasta lived up to the hype for me. Also our waiter was super nice.

Spaghetti with truffle oil: I've been coming here mutliple times for the truffle spaghetti & each time it is super good. Very simple yet good dish. But also pretty expensive since the price went up. Update: the truffle has gotten more subtle, which is a bummer. This dish is worth it if you take the 25$ 3-course menu after 21h00. Remoulade de celeri: coleslaw style type of salad made with celeri. Dish is okay, but inconsistent. Mine was quite sour, I had to add salt. My husband's was midly bland. Cheesecake: very soft & creamy, but it tasted like cream cheese with just a sprinkle of sugar. Not cakey enough. The tartare: was properly seasonned, but doesn't come with anything like bread or croutons. Fries: Best fries ever. Not oily, stayed crunchy the whole meal & perfectly seasonned with bbq powder & salt. Came with the beef tartare. Beef tartare with black truffle: I don't know of they forgot the truffle or not, but I didn't taste it at all. I could see small truffle flakes but not tasteany truffle. The tartare was also pretty tasteless even with the chips. Had to add some salt. The chips were good & crunchy. Oysters: Took the 6 pieces oysters. Fresh, incredibly small. I don't eat oysters often so I wasn't sure what size to expect at a restaurant. To me it's small compared to the one I buy at home. Overall, food is okay, service is good & very fast, beautiful place. They blasted the AC despite it being already cold, so me & my friend had to keep our coats on (& other clients too). Only come here if you have money to splurge. The portions are very tiny & the price has risen in the last couple of years. The star of the night are the spaghetti & the fries. We were hungry again after.
Foiegwa has an energetic vibe . We are a family of 5 who arrived for dinner on a Saturday night . We ordered the beef tartare, escargots, oysters , beef bavette, braised beef, truffle spaghetti, scallops with risotto. . We highly recommend this restaurant for the great food fabulous service & wonderful ambiance. We had a great time.
A laid back spot that's great for a date or just a casual hangout with a couple of friends. It's not big, & would probably be best for parties of 4 max. The plates are small & meant to be shared, but price-wise could quickly add up, so don't come too hungry. I really enjoyed the truffle spaghetti.
I have been there 3-4 times for both brunch & dinner. The dishes are always great, BUT the drinks are outstanding!! You might feel a bit cramped up in busy night. Overall is a worthy place to try! P.S. The fried chicken with waffle & the black truffle pasta with egg yoke are my top reformations.
Very charming. The food is very very rich. We got the 3 course meal for $25 deal (available Sunday-Thursday after 9pm) The truffle pasta was really good. The chicken liver was also very good. We didn't love everything else. Make a reservation at least a few days in advance. Great atmosphere for a group smaller than 4 people.

The truffle spaghetti was good, but the portion was pretty small, especially for the price. They don't have foie gras anymore, & I mainly came for that. I get the animal rights thing, but I mean, your restaurant is named after it? Maybe rename? Lastly they asked me if I wanted water or sparlking, & didn't tell me that sparkling water would cost $6.5. That came as a surprise on the bill. Overall I guess it's still good food, but slightly disappointing in the service
My third time going to Foiegwa & I am never disappointed. A nice restaurant, fair pricing, delicious food & kind staff. I recommend the fries( they are a must have!!), the truffle pasta & any kind of cocktail. A small restaurant with a hopping ambiance make sure to reserve. Looking forward to trying the brunch!
No reservation brunch, staff was nice Good coffee, I didn't t like the bloody Caesar (too strong & lacking celery salt but appreciated the option to choose the alcohol paired with the cocktail) I ordered the truffle pasta, it was delicious & not overpowered but a bigger portion would have been appreciated. The croque mamie was good & generous, really enjoy the breakfast potatoes too. The butter croissant tasted a bit stale, like it was made from croissant the day before.. the jam & peanut butter made it sweeter & ok to eat

I had the tasting menu, the cesear salad was just lettuce with parmesan & bits of bacon, a little sauce or something would have been nice, truffle spaghetti was good but definitely not as good as before. The truffle taste was barely there, & the dessert , chocolate mousse was not edible , wayyyyy to sweet. Also my friend had the onion soup as an entree, it was way too liquid. This used to be one of my favourite restaurants, but the food quality is definitely not there anymore.
We were lucky to have the last spot at brunch in a Saturday. The place is beautiful & the ambiance laid back. We had a hot alcoholic cocktail that warmed us on this cold day. I took the homemade spaghetti with truffle butter & Parmesan & it was delicious. I'd like to go back again & try their other supper offerings. Will definitely be back
Always an excellent brunch option! This is my third time & the food is always excellent. I tried their Croque Mamie with duck & it was delicious with the small taste of truffle. Service was great & we sat in a corner next to the window which is better than the tables in the middle that I find less convivial. We were sitting there last time. Just know that brunch has gotten expensive in Montréal & the price point does reflect that at Foiegwa. But still a must try brunch in the city!
Delicious food, wonderful friendly staff with excellent service. The atmosphere is like'80s diner, & rather casual. They seem to have truffle in a lot of their dishes, so not only do they taste delicious, they smell super yummy too! They are pretty popular, & can get pretty crowded, so it's better to make a reservation.

I have come to thos place for some time & this las time I was really disappointed with the quality of the food.
The tartare was 1/3 smaller than before & you could barely taste the truffle. As well, now it is paired with some Baggett such a downgrade from the waffle chips.
As for the spaghetti, again, you couldn't taste the truffle... it was just an ordinary alfledo sauce from the supermarket.
The service & the personnel were fantastic!
Quite disappointed to be honest with the quality of the food ... & prices are higher.
The restaurant is smaller than I expected but has a great ambiance, the bar is pretty. If you're two people, anticipate being quite close to the tables next to you. The cocktails & service were excellent! Unfortunately, after reading all the good reviews about the spaghetti, I was very disappointed by it: although the truffle flavour was there, it seriously lacked salt (& I'm someone who doesn't eat salty foods much). The gnocchi was good & the duck was tender, but again, it lacked salt for my taste...Portions are also quite small, so if you don't want to order entrées, don't come here hungry!
We visited foiegwa for our anniversary & I'm glad we came. The food, ambiance, & service were really top notch.
We were served a glass of Cava as a gift which was really nice from the team.
We wanted to go to foiegwa because we wanted dishes with truffle, & we definitely got our fix! Probably the best burger we've ever had, & the spaghetti was 10/10. Was very sad we didn't have room for dessert!
Très bon resto avec un bon service. Leur fameux pasta à la truffle était au-delà de mes expectations. Je ne dirais malheureusement pas que l'ensemble de l'expérience était parfait, car la quantité de nourriture aurait pu être meilleure 🥺
