Restaurant Foxy privilégie une méthode de cuisson à feu ouvert qui définit l'ensemble de son approche culinaire. Une chaleur intense au feu de bois transforme les produits du marché saisonnier en plats complexes tout en leur conférant un caractère fumé naturel et distinct. Le menu met l'accent sur des ingrédients bruts provenant de fournisseurs locaux afin d'assurer une fraîcheur maximale dans chaque assiette. Les clients observent le processus de préparation car le feu vif constitue la source principale de chaleur pour les protéines et les légumes. Chaque élément du repas bénéficie des techniques de caramélisation et de marquage au feu développées par contact direct avec les flammes. Cette intégration méthodique des pratiques de grillade traditionnelles et des sensibilités du marché produit une cuisine axée sur les produits. Les plats résultants privilégient des textures profondes et des profils terreux qui soulignent la nature élémentaire des techniques de cuisson utilisées.
Foxy est largement reconnu pour sa cuisine créative au feu de bois, son atmosphère élégante et son service d'un professionnalisme exemplaire. De nombreux clients louent les saveurs uniques, la qualité des ingrédients locaux et l'expérience interactive offerte au comptoir du chef, faisant de cet établissement une destination de choix pour les occasions spéciales. Bien que la majorité des commentaires soulignent la mémorable qualité des plats et des cocktails travaillés, certains convives trouvent que les prix sont élevés par rapport à la taille des portions, et quelques visiteurs ont mentionné que la salle peut parfois devenir chaude ou bruyante selon l'emplacement. Malgré des avis partagés sur le rapport qualité-prix, le consensus général souligne une expérience gastronomique raffinée qui propose constamment des assiettes sophistiquées et une hospitalité attentionnée.
We love Foxy. It's a bustling restaurant with a distinct decor & atmosphere--a je-ne-sais-quoi that makes it unique & real. Lots of experience went into this restaurant. From the decor, the layout, the service & of course the cuisine, everything is professional.
Now lets talk about the food: from fantastic martinis to a great wine selection by the glass & fabulous steak & oysters, followed by great desserts, you wont be disappointed. It's real food, not an overpriced corporate restaurant.
We had a small mishap where the server spilled a glass of red wine on me, & the manager immediately came to apologize & offered to pay for cleaning & drinks. Very professional. Most restaurants would fail right there, but not Foxy.
3ieme visite, toujours aussi parfait! Merci encore & toujours à Marc-André qui rend notre expérience unique à chaque fois! Un merci aussi Laurianne pour son service attentionné & merci à Sabrina pour les drinks toujours réussi & délicieux!

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.
We were disappointed with our visit to Foxy. We found the dishes to be quite expensive considering the quality & complexity of what was served. The total bill came to nearly $200 for two people, & we didn't even order any drinks. On top of that, we were still hungry when we left. In our opinion, the price was not justified. We do not recommend this restaurant.
I feel this place is overrated. Menu is hard to understand, we had to look up most of the items online & asked the server several questions. Anyway, had the chips & dip only because I just wanted a drink after dinner. These are veggie chips, very thin.. & taste like leaves. I didn't enjoy them at all. My friend had the carpaccio & said it was good. I've been here before & struggled with the menu then too.. If you really want to try this place, I suggest you research the menu before coming & see pictures. I think it's one of those restaurants that people will either really like, or dislike.
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).
First time & certainly not the last. Food was 10/10. Genevieve guided us & every recommended dish was better than the next. Honestly just delicious. As well all the wines she recommended & drinks were great .
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
