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!

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!

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.
