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.
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!
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've been to Foxy three times. The first two times were really good. The food was impressive, flavourful, & nicely presented. I remember sharing a platter with different meats & potatoes. It had a kind of tapas or shared starter feel to it & it worked really well.
On my second visit, I had the same platter & again the experience was solid. But by the third time, the menu had changed. I ordered the burrata & a few other small plates. This time the execution just wasn't there. The dishes felt a bit flat & underwhelming compared to my earlier visits.
The terrace is definitely the best part of the space. It's quiet, has a great ambiance, & feels much more relaxed. I like the drapes & the layout, it gives it a really nice atmosphere. Inside is a different story. It tends to get loud & there's unfortunately a bit of a lingering smell that makes it less pleasant.
Would I recommend it? It really depends. If the terrace is open, it can be a lovely place to eat. But the menu isn't as strong as it used to be & the experience depends a lot on timing & season. Based on my last visit, I'd give it a three out of five.
Amazing experience all together! Very personable & friendly staff, excellent service & unique meals & cocktails! This was a lovely find in Montreal! Would 100% recommend.
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
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.
