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.

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.
