Foiegwa offre une ambiance intime de bistrot parisien, un espace petit mais chaleureux et un service attentionné, avec un menu où les plats phares comme les pâtes à la truffe, le foie gras, le tartare et le magret se mêlent à des classiques comme les oeufs Benedict et des options brunch ou menu tardif qui séduisent, dans un cadre convivial et abordable. Si les visites sont souvent louées pour l'ambiance, la nourriture et le bon rapport qualité-prix, certains témoignages signalent un service parfois lent ou distrait, une salle étroite et bruyante et des ajustements de menu qui ne tiennent pas toujours leurs promesses; néanmoins l'impression générale est celle d'un endroit charmant pour un rendez-vous, un repas entre amis ou une occasion spéciale, avec des réservations recommandées en raison du petit espace.
The steak tartare was inventive generously portioned, & thanks perhaps to the diner homage crockery felt & tasted retro. Our party of four enjoyed everything including the frites. A delightful mystery is how the crunchy bits in some of the sauces stayed crunchy despite the liquid immersion. There's much more going on here than meets the eye. It was impossible not to reach for the serving spoons in our family style array of dishes & licking them clean. Damn lucky neighbourhood to have a corner joint like this.
Avant tout je signale qu il toujours facile de critiquer.
J ai beaucoup aimé le cadre,les cocktails,j ai trouvé les plats bon mais trop salé.
La serveuse était efficace mais peu souriante & agréable.

Excellent arctic char & broccolini. The potato rosti tasty & unusual but a starter for one. The bartending produced nicely crafted cocktails & there's an ample wine list. Beers not so much. Excellent & friendly table service. Busy but not noisy small dining room
We arrived at 9:10 PM. We had a 945 reservation at the bar & got there a little early. The hostess was gracious enough to give us a table instead, so that we wouldn't have to wait until 9:45 PM. The chicken ballotine was the best dish. The food runner/ server was very attentive. He had such a nice attitude about him. Definitely recommend!!!
Small beautifull trendy place with great wine list.
Food is good but plates could be more generous.
Nice for a laid back diner.
Service is cajual.
Got a Calvados shooter for my wife's birthday. Always nice to have that little personnal touch.
I recommand.

I haved dined at Foiegwas several times on my visits from NYC. I have recommended it to several friends traveling to Montreal. I dined there last night & it will be my last visit. We were seated very graciously by our waiter & given our menues etc. After a short wait, I ordered a cocktail & gave our dinner orders. All perfect. After 5 minutes my delicious cocktail was served & within 1 minute my order of velouté was brought to the table as well. I was not prepared to eat it immediately & was looking forward to enjoying my drink. The waiter came by & I asked ( politely) if he could take the velouté back to the kitchen to keep it warm while I drank my drink. He said he could but 1) it could not simply be kept warm & would have be thrown out & a new one made & 2) I should have informed him that I did not want them served together. I am not one to waste food so I did not send it back. First of all, how could I know they would be served together? Is it not customary to bring a cocktail first & let the guest have five or ten minutes to enjoy it? & why would the waiter want to make me feel badly or guilty about returning it to the kitchen? He could have simply taken it back without question & returned it to me after my drink, without the unprofessional explanation given. The rest of the meal was ok, not great. My spaghetti was not hot but luke warm. The bathrooms were quite messy (& it was early in the night). Napkins on the floor, trash overflowing. I ask if this is what is viewable to the public, is the kitchen in the same state? With regret, I will not be returning or recommending Foiegwas in the future.
Awesome food quite original & super tasty!
Try the eggs Benedict with braised beef chipotle totoally awesome
Cappuccinos arrived cold was not happy about that so I don't think I will not order their cappuccinos again but I will go back to try other dishes
