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.

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.

A bit overhyped & overpriced. The food was just okay, nothing spectacular (mind you, its breakfast/brunch so I didn't have masaive expectations). The prices are high for what you get.
I had the unpleasant experience of asking for extra ham on my dish, I was told by the waiter that it was a substantial portion of ham which is why they couldn't simply replace the sausage in my dish with a portion of ham. When the plate got to me, there were two thin slices of ham, each cut in half. So really, this was one thin slice of a ham. I asked the waiter if he had forgotten the extra, he checked with the kitchen & said'no, this is it'. This extra portion (slice) was 4$.
It feels like a dishonest approach to extras, nothing worse than going to brunch & feeling that you're getting squeezed for money despite the hard costs of the meal being low (potatoes, bread, eggs & meat, no veggies). See the photos & judge if this would have been worth upwards of 30$ for you.
Great place for a nice dinner. The duck & beef mains were excellent, wouldn't change a thing. Only thing I wish they had was a dish with the seared foie gras besides the add on. The foie gras appetiser was delicious, but that add on is really something else. Maybe I didn't notice it in the menu, but would love a small plate with the add on foie gras. Very pleasant service, cozy vibe. A top contender for special occasions.
Foiegwa is always such a pleasure to come back to…. The food & the service are consistently great, & the atmosphere is lovely…!. The only downside is that sometimes you feel a bit rushed, especially when they mention the 1h15 time limit at the table & the need to order quickly
Other than that, everything is just spot on 👌
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.
Très bonne cuisine. Service sympathique & efficace. Cadre agréable mais musique vraiment trop forte & peu adaptée à un restaurant ( plutôt pour un bar).
