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.
Foxy draws praise across reviews for inventive, wood-fired cuisine and an open, intimate atmosphere, with the option to sit at the chef's counter to watch the action; dishes are described as flavorful and creative, with standouts like maitake mushrooms, bluefin tuna tartare, halibut, mussels and flatbread with feta, all showcasing seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and wood fire. The service is repeatedly noted as impeccable and friendly, though a few experiences mention occasional lapses or pressure during peak times. Pricing and portion sizes receive mixed feedback, some finding the value aligns with the high quality while others feel portions are small for the price. 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.
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

We sat at the bar where Antoine took care of us. He was super warm & fun to chat with & made great recs. Everything we put in our mouths was special. The New Delhi is the most unique cocktail I've had in recent memory. We ordered the carrot, the cappelletti, the chicken, & the maitake to start. We thoroughly enjoyed every dish. We aren't big dessert people, so we followed Antoine's suggestion to choose an additional small plate from the dinner menu, the homemade feta & squash dish, to wrap up the meal. It was perfect. The restaurant interior, like so many places in Montreal, is beautiful. It's dark & moody & romantic & is made even more enchanting by the warm smokiness of the wood burning oven. Highly recommend this spot.
Delicious food in a lovely atmosphere. You can tell that the chefs put a lot of thought into the menu's creativity & execution. The duck with barley risotto was my favorite dish of the night. Everything else was good but not necessarily memorable.
Formidable expérience !! Merci a toute l'équipe !! & particulièrement à Marc-André pour ce service exceptionnel ! Table des vins de Corse ! On reviendra...!
Délicieux! Super bon service. L'accompagnement du magret était une des meilleures assiettes que j'ai mangé. Les drinks un peu cher comparé à ailleurs pour des classiques, mais sinon côté nourriture le rapport qualité prix y ait (dispendieux mais on mange vraiment bien!)

Staff, nourriture, selection de vin, odeur du restaurant. Tout est fait au charbon de bois. Expérience incroyable. Les vins que on nous a servi étaient tous une découverte & coup de coeur. Un gros merci a Marc-André pour son service hors pair. J'ai deja réserver pour moi & ma conjointe tres prochainement. Merci!
Incredible dining experience. Delicious locally-driven food/drink, impeccable service, & cozy atmosphere. Cocktails & zero-proof options were extensive & top notch. Mentioned in Canada's 100 best this year, & well worth the recognition! They were very accommodating to dietary restrictions. We had a one-sided lactose intolerance, & I was impressed that the server immediately went through the menu & described in great detail what kind of dairy was in each dish & whether they could make accommodations. A nice touch & outstanding level of service & attention to detail that is very uncommon but hugely appreciated!

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
The food was absolutely incredible. The maitake was my absolute favorite of the night. The service was top notch. So glad I got a chance to go here while in Montreal. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

Loved the Foxy experience; great salad, seabass fish delicious 😋, the mushrooms yummy, dessert perfect with peaches. Loved the rose wine. Service is perfect, lots of details to help us choose 😁🤠🤩
La nourriture était excellente!! L'un des meilleurs steak que nous avons eu dans notre vie . Le service était impeccable, la serveuse qui apportait notre vin connaissait vraiment bien ses produits! Nous avons adoré . Ils ont également été très accommodant concernant les restrictions alimentaires d'un membre de notre groupe qui ne pouvait pas manger de produit laitier. Je recommande fortement .
