Olive et Gourmando's nocturnal sister: Foxy. Wood fired cooking paired with plenty of veggies. Charred flatbreads, grilled meat and fish. Rustic, seasonal, and honest. Cozy atmosphere and relaxed dress code. Welcoming young children for early service only.
Reviews portray Foxy as a lively, wood-fired, chef-driven spot where many dishes shine, from scallop crudo and maitake mushrooms to halibut, bluefin tartare and inventive cocktails, while the open kitchen and counter seating add to the show. The dining experience is praised for impeccable service and bold flavors, but the price tag can feel steep and portions are sometimes small, with a few visits noting menu changes and some uneven execution. The terrace is a highlight when weather allows, and guests often leave with a strong impression of originality and quality even when opinions vary.
Good. worth a visit. small portions, be warned. 50$ for a literally 2 inch by 2 inch piece if fish was something. everything was very good though. amazing service.
Lede to this review: our waiter was dreadful.
He abandoned us for half an hour at a time. He spent 5 full minutes consulting with a couple 3 tables down over their wine selection. The table to our left spent 35 awaiting their check after requesting it.
All told it was 30 minutes from being seated until our drinks arrived.
After that we were treated to additional attention from the hostess who was able to fill in gaps for her flailing colleague.
Service aside. The food was delicious!
We enjoyed an appetizer of the oysters, followed by the'radicchio' (a lovely salad complemented with purple & golden beets), the cavatappi (fantastic mushroomy, cheesy goodness), cauliflower (a bit austere, wouldn't order again), & the halibut (pictured; featuring a delectable dashi buttermilk sauce).
Très belle table entre Griffintown & la Petite-Bourgogne, il faut absolument gouter les cocktails maisons qui sont tous excellents ! Les plats à partager entre les convives sont tout aussi délicieux, un must ! Le cadre est également très chaleureux avec la cuisine ouverte & la cuisson au feu de bois
Wonderful place! Every dish was a hit after the other, the place is beautiful & the staff was great & welcoming. We found the price adequate for the superb level of the food.
Accueil chaleureux. Service impeccable. Les plats sont savoureux, uniques, & la présentation est superbe. Les cocktails sont wow. On a adoré & nous reviendrons !

When the waiter is coming every two minutes, it's tough to relax. Also 265$ for (1) 17 oz steak (splitted between 3 persons), 2 beers & 2 glass of wine & an 5 inches small pizza appetizer. Might be exagerated! Also we been told the steak was 18 oz & the waiter didn't even know if it was 16 ou 17 or 18. At 120$ + tax for a steak, you should know right away. Despite that the place is lovely & warm.
Amazing experience all together! Very personable & friendly staff, excellent service & unique meals & cocktails! This was a lovely find in Montreal! Would 100% recommend.
Had a fantastic evening, great atmosphere & cocktails. Only downside was that I left hungry despite having the dip & chips, feta salad & crab main dish. I think for the $$ I should have probably been full!
From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Veronica & her incredible staff. The service was impeccable-attentive, friendly, & truly made us feel at home. As for the food? Absolutely outstanding. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, & beautifully presented.
It's rare to find a restaurant that delivers on all fronts, but this place truly does. If you're looking for an amazing dining experience with top-notch service & exceptional cuisine, this is the spot. Can't wait to come back!

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.
La qualité des plats est top, le service est super & s'adapte aux demandes, mais le restaurant est très étroit & la musique est forte donc le son est très fort pour un restaurant qui dégage pourtant une ambiance tranquille, presque intime.
Certains choix sont bizarres comme les endives dans la pavlova mais la grande majorité des plats sont excellents
If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Montreal, Foxy is an absolute must-visit. The ambiance is sleek & intimate, with a modern yet cozy feel, making it the perfect setting for a night out. The dim lighting & stylish decor create a relaxed, welcoming environment where you can truly enjoy the food & conversation.
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!
Food is amazing! We got 4 tapas to share (we're 2 people) & we were satisfied.
The flat bread was delicious & we got a mezcal cocktail called Clara, so good!!
I really recommend this place for a date
My daughter treated me to a lovely evening at Foxy. We were warmly welcomed by Véronique & were served by Geneviève, who was charming, efficient, & generous. The cocktail, meal, & desserts were interesting & very tasty! We are both vegetarians & enjoy the veggie options.
Warm atmosphere with dim lighting. The flatbread & maitake were exceptional. The carrot & cauliflower dishes were a bit firm, but overall all the dishes had good flavours. We would definitely eat here again!
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.
Impeccable service, cool vibe, & a decent wine list. The food was overall okay but a bit pricey for its originality or portion, even considering that most of their dishes were tapas-style to share. For example, $24 for 6 oysters, which might be average in Griffintown but I saw many better price-quality. The duck was pretty good. The food menu is relatively small too.
