The service is repeatedly noted as impeccable and friendly, though a few experiences mention occasional lapses or pressure during peak times.

The ambiance, especially the terrace, is frequently praised, and cocktails receive strong reviews, making Foxy a standout Montreal dining destination despite seasonal or seating-based variability.
I don't think I can say enough good things about this place.
I have eaten at Michelin star restaurants all around the world. A lot of them are generally tasting menus. Which I do believe foxy may offer. However, we chose the Comptoir chef seating. Which means we got to sit at the counter & watch the chefs in action it was such an amazing experience.
When you first walked into the restaurant, you can smell the wood because they cook everything over wood & it is such an amazing smell. It sets you up for a great experience right from the beginning.
We sat at the counter as I mentioned. At first, I was thinking while this counter is awfully tiny. How is this going to work. But I do find that the servers staggered the food & placed everything precariously in a way that made it all work. So yes, it's a small space but it worked just fine.
We ordered a bunch of items to share between the group. We started with the Scallop Crudo & the feta & pita. I personally loved the scallops more than the pita, but my coworkers loved the pita better. Then we moved on to The Little gem salad & the Capelletti pasta. Both were fantastic. Last we had maitake mushrooms & cod. The mushrooms were a meter event for me! I've obsessed with mushrooms, & this was absolutely incredible.
The server came by & asked if we wanted dessert. We decided to have oysters & carrots as our dessert. Lol we saw the chefs making them & they just looked so incredible that we couldn't resist.
This is going to sound really strange, but those carrots were really one of the highlights for me. I can't explain it. They were just so incredibly flavorful & it was something I will think about for a long time.
The only negative for me is that I didn't really love the wine selection that the server suggested. However, wine is such a personal preference that it's not really his fault. It just it wasn't for me.
Major shout out to Jenna. She was manning the oven closest to us. & she was doing everything with a smile. She was explaining the process to us. She was doing such an incredible job. She made the experience even more fun.
I will 100% come back here when I am back in Montreal.
Foxy is an absolute gem! The food is creative, beautifully prepared, & full of flavor - every dish felt fresh & thoughtful. The atmosphere is warm & stylish, perfect for a night out, & the staff made the experience even better with their friendly, attentive service. Truly one of the best dining experiences in Montreal - highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of trying several dishes, & each was an exceptional blend of flavors. The Maitake mushrooms with black garlic, garlic scape, & sunflower seeds were an absolute highlight - earthy, savory, & packed with umami in every bite. The Cauliflower with yogurt, tomato, & furikake provided a refreshing balance of creamy & tangy, while the Pavlova stole the show. The combination of yogurt, blood orange, endive, & lemon granita was the most incredible blend of citrus, sweet, & creamy I've ever had. It was a perfect way to end the meal, bright & refreshing with just the right touch of indulgence.
My friend opted for the Flatbread topped with tomato, eggplant, & buffalo stracciatella - a comforting yet elegant dish with a great balance of flavors. The Beef Carpaccio with fermented sunchoke, crème fraîche, & egg yolk was rich & tender, while the Mussels with celery, kombu, & focaccia were simply divine, delicate, & brimming with flavor.
The service was impeccable - our server was attentive, knowledgeable, & friendly, making the evening even more enjoyable. Every dish was presented beautifully, & the staff's recommendations were spot on.
Overall, Foxy offers a delightful combination of exquisite dishes, impeccable service, & a chic atmosphere that makes it a standout in Montreal's vibrant culinary scene. Highly recommended!
Foxy est un incontournable à Montréal, offrant une ambiance moderne & intime, parfaite pour une soirée agréable. L'éclairage tamisé & le décor élégant créent une atmosphère relaxante.
J'ai adoré le Maitake aux graines de tournesol, fleur d'ail & ail noir, un vrai délice umami, ainsi que le Chou-fleur avec yaourt, tomate & furikake, qui offrait une belle fraîcheur. Le Pavlova, avec son mélange de yaourt, orange sanguine, endive & granité de citron, était un équilibre parfait entre douceur & acidité.
Mon ami a opté pour le Flatbread à la tomate, aubergine & stracciatella di buffala, ainsi que le Carpaccio de boeuf avec topinambour fermenté, & crème fraîche. Les Moules avec céleri, kombu & focaccia étaient également excellentes.
Le service était impeccable : attentionné & professionnel, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable. Une excellente adresse à recommander sans hésitation!
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.
A great address in at the boarder of Griffintown & little burgundy! They have a wood oven that create unique flavor to their very local ingredients! Love the fact that they designed the menu to be shareable which gives, always a better experience!! Excellent service & wine card
