Restaurant Foxy focuses on an open-flame cooking method that defines its entire culinary approach. Intense wood-fired heat transforms seasonal market produce into complex dishes while imparting a distinct, natural smokiness. The menu emphasizes raw ingredients sourced from local suppliers to ensure maximum freshness across every plate. Guests observe the preparation process as the live fire serves as the primary heat source for both proteins and vegetables. Every component of the meal benefits from controlled char and caramelization techniques developed through direct flame contact. This methodical integration of traditional grilling practices and modern market sensibilities produces a focused, ingredient-driven menu. The resulting dishes prioritize deep textures and earthy profiles that highlight the elemental nature of the cooking techniques used throughout the facility.
Foxy is widely celebrated for its creative, wood-fired cuisine, stylish atmosphere, and exceptionally professional service. Many guests praise the unique flavors, high-quality local ingredients, and the interactive experience of sitting at the chef's counter, noting that the restaurant is a must-visit destination for special occasions. While the majority of reviews highlight the memorable dishes and expertly crafted cocktails, some patrons feel the pricing is high relative to the portion sizes, and a few guests noted that the dining area can become quite warm or noisy depending on where they are seated. Despite varying opinions on value, the overall consensus points to a polished, high-end dining experience that consistently delivers sophisticated plates and attentive hospitality.
We had such a fabulous meal here a couple weeks ago. Everything was top notch. We sat at the bar, clam pasta was a highlight. They coursed everything really well. Cocktails were also great. Wine list also looks awesome. Wood fired for the win!
The staff is so sweet & treated me like family. The food is incredible & the bar & service is so good. The homemade feta is absolutely to die for, but there wasn't a single thing on the menu that I didn't love. The owner is one of the sweetest people I've ever met, & is one of the best sommeliers as well!

I usually never do this, but my experience there was terrible. I came by myself on a busy Saturday night to have a spot at the bar & the sitting they gave me was horrible. Constantly being hit from behind of the servers & guests as I was sitted on an island in a high foot traffic within a tight corridor. I think this place is meant to reserve in advance & i'd like to give a second chance since the ambiance overall was great.
My wife & I flew in to & were in Montreal for one night before heading north for vacation. My wife, always spot on with her due diligence, made last minute reservations for bar seating. We could not have dined at a better restaurant…the drinks, the food, the atmosphere, the staff. All fantastic. We sat at the bar & Sabrina mixed some wicked good cocktails & her wine recommendations to pair with our meal were spot on. She was witty, conversing & engaging, as was a'friend of the bar' sitting adjacent to us. The owner was present & leading by example, working alongside her staff. We had a moment to chat with her & extend a thank you for the wonderful experience. Gracious & humble she was. Not a recommended dining experience; but a must do dining experience.
Great service, good ambiance. You're always right up next to the action no matter where you are sitting thanks to the way that the seating is structured around the kitchen & the bar.
Listen to your host, they know a lot & they have fantastic specials. Bring your chef friends here.
This place is amazing, they have a seasonal menu which they update regularly with creative dishes & flavors. The part that made me recommend Foxy to my friends was the staff, especially the bartender & hostess, super friendly & helpful with suggestions.
Food & drinks were great. We sat at the bar & Sabrina was our bartender- she was incredible! She made some great recommendations & really made the whole experience excellent. Would definitely recommend
Reserved seats at the bar & on arrival the hostess offered us seats at the bar or seats at the kitchen counter by the wood-fired oven, which we took. Bruno, our server was excellent, reviewing the menu & offering recommendations. We had the scallop crudo, feta & pita, endive salad, capellini pasta & the whole fish (sea bass). Each dish was delightful & we enjoyed them with white & red wine by the glass. The team at Foxy work hard & are clearly passionate about customers having an overall excellent experience . Merci à tous we have a wonderful evening
