Foiegwa is widely praised for its cozy, intimate vibe, charming décor, and consistently solid food and service, with standout dishes like truffle spaghetti, foie gras, and mushroom velouté, plus inventive cocktails. The staff are described as friendly and attentive, making it a reliable choice for brunch, date nights, or casual dinners, though a few reviews mention slow or uneven service during peak hours. Space is small, often crowded and a bit loud, which can affect pacing and comfort, and some diners feel portions are small or prices high for what is offered, especially on brunch or late-night menus. Reservations are recommended and the late-night or prix-fixe options are frequently noted as good value. Overall, Foiegwa comes across as a beloved Montreal spot with a memorable atmosphere and consistently strong cuisine, even as a minority of visits note inconsistencies or crowding.
Honestly, Foiegwa is always a nice & excellent restaurant that never disappoints with its food selection.
I went with my friend to try their special 25$ set menu again this year after 9 pm, & it was such a steaaaaal.
Although the choice was pretty limited, the food was bussing & succulent.
We had the beef tartare, homemade spaghetti with butter & black truffle, & the duck breast. The taste & aroma of the food were so rich, flavorful, & tender.
Although the service was a little bit slower, the staff were still attentive & present to check on you. Definitely worth going back to try their other menus.

I went to this restaurant with my friends & I found the atmosphere was very nice & food was great! It's a small place, but since we went on a Tuesday it wasn't crowded. I'll definitely come back to try the brunch.
Pour ma part, ça été une déception culinaire. Cela m'a pris par surprise car les commentaires lus avaient placé mes attentes beaucoup hautes. L'extra foie gras dans le burger ne vaut vraiment pas la peine & il était sec à manger. Longue attente pour recevoir notre facture. Espace très restreint dans l'environnement. Dommage mais ça n'a pas été une belle expérience.
Cannot go wrong with truffle & pasta, superior combo. My friend doesn't like truffle & he gave this pasta a 10/10. Fries were also hugeeee & oh so good

Excellent resto cela fait une dizaine de fois que nous y allons. Super service aussi de la part de Jordane. Personnel toujours bien sympathique & très accueillant.
The food was good but basic & not a big menu. The restaurant isn't well decorated & clean but it isn't big, so you need a reservation in the evening. & the service was nice.

Honestly, what an amazing place. Had a great time. Great selection on the menu, cozy & intimate. the food was amazing & the drinks were pretty nice. I would out this on my top 10 places, surely because of how nice & cozy it was. I will definitely go again. a must visit
Amazing food & service, the Caesar salad is out of this world. Only took some points off as it is a bit smaller than expected so the noise level was a bit high with the music
I went here with my friends for brunch & we had a good time. The food was good. Lots of sea food options but limited in other areas. We ordered several dishes. It was a bit greasy but I liked the taste. The drinks were great!
Serve was very nice & friendly. The staff greeted us, led us to our seats & kept checking on us.
I took a picture of our food & shared it below.
After our meal it took a while to get the bill so that wait was a bit annoying.
