Foil Gallery est une cafe galerie qui fusionne cafe et art dans un espace industriel épuré, où les oeuvres en rotation et un véhicule vintage en vitrine donnent une atmosphere unique et photogénique. L'ambiance est souvent décrite comme calme, chaleureuse et inspirante, ideale pour travailler ou se detendre tout en découvrant des expositions, avec un design soigné et une immersion artistique marquée. Le concept attire les amateurs d'art et de design, mais les avis sur le rapport qualité prix varient: des boissons originales comme le latte a la pêche ou le matcha latte peuvent etre réussies, mais les patisseries sont parfois decevantes et les prix peuvent sembler eleves, surtout lorsque le pourboire est preleve dès le passage en caisse. Le service est parfois loue pour sa cordialite, mais d autres critiques signalent une attitude parfois froide ou elitiste et une ambiance qui peut sembler influencee par la frequentation d'influenceurs. Certains aspects pratiques reviennent aussi: l'espace peut manquer pour s asseoir, les parfums diffusés peuvent etre forts et l'offre alimentaire manque parfois de variete, mais le lieu reste percu comme spectaculaire et tres instagrammable, invitant a revenir pour l'immersion artistique et la beaute du cadre.
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.
L'endroit est magnifique & très sympa pour un café (un peu moins pour du Télé travail, d'autant plus que ce n'est pas maxi confortable ! C'est par ailleurs un peu che
Me & my husband came here on a Sunday. It was lovely the staff were very helpful & super welcoming. Lou & Kieran were very sweet. We tried the iced matcha latte with almond milk , one was butterscotch flavored & the other was salted caramel both were super yummy🥰
The sheer number of tiny beanies in this place was astonishing. The staff were lovely but this cafe is desperately self-aware of itself despite wanting to come off as the opposite. Charging $7 for a latte & then starting off the tip options on the card terminal at 18% should have been a massive red flag. The concrete cafe epidemic is unfortunately really sinking its teeth into Montreal.
I love the concept of this place - a café mixed with a rotating gallery. The space is beautifully designed & not overcrowded with art, so it feels intentional & easy to take in. The art on display wasn't totally my thing when I went, but that actually makes me want to come back & see what's next.
Had a latte (~$8) that was fine, nothing special, but the experience is really the main draw here. Definitely worth checking out if you like art, design, or unique spaces.
