Review Summary

Foil Gallery is widely recognized as a unique and visually striking destination in Montreal that successfully blends a contemporary art gallery with a high-end cafe experience. Many visitors praise the stunning industrial decor, the high quality of the specialty beverages like matcha and lattes, and the overall creative, immersive atmosphere that makes the space feel like a curated project. While the aesthetic and drink quality consistently receive high marks, reviews are mixed regarding the food selection, which many find limited or underwhelming in variety. Feedback on service is polarized, with some patrons describing the staff as welcoming and helpful, while others express concerns about an elitist or cold environment and frustration over high pricing and automatic tip prompts. Ultimately, the venue is frequently recommended as an essential stop for those who appreciate design, art, and modern cafe culture, even if it may not suit everyone as a regular or functional workspace.

J'aurais mis une meilleure note s'il y avait du service (il n'y en a aucun) & que ça ne demandait pas 18% de tips minimum.

Might be the best matcha in the city! Super cool space, incredibly high quality matcha, & they host cool events.

Some of the speciality drinks are a bit expensive however the drinks are also incredibly high quality so it feels worth it. The staff are always so kind as well!

I visited the FOIL Gallery during my trip to Montreal & really enjoyed the experience. The space is small but thoughtfully curated, which makes it easy to take your time & appreciate each piece without feeling overwhelmed.

The gallery has a modern & creative vibe, with works that feel fresh & interesting. I liked how everything was presented-it all felt intentional & well put together.

They also offer drinks, which was a nice touch. It made the visit feel more relaxed & social, & added to the overall atmosphere while walking through the space.

It's not a huge gallery, but that's part of the charm. It's a nice, quiet stop if you're exploring the city & want to see something a bit different.

Hands down the best matcha & cafe I've ever been to. The matcha is incredibly green & smooth - I'm completely addicted to the black sesame iced matcha drink😄. The owners are both artists - both of their beautiful artwork is hanging on the gallery walls, which makes the space feel really special. They also curate the gallery & invite other artists to exhibit on rotation, so there's always something new to see. It's an exciting place to visit, hang out, & enjoy a truly delicious drink.
