Cozy little restaurant with a great ambiance and good service. I went for their special night-time "menu table d'hôte", the portions were good and the taste was okay. The price point is fair too. Good experience.

From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported straight to Paris. It was a truly remarkable dining experience. Every detail captured the charm and romance of a Parisian bistro, and the food was magnifique.

When we arrived they didn’t have a table for us despite our reservation. We waited 20 mins and were sat but after ordering drinks and food we had our food and almost finished it before getting our coffees and smoothie. Our server was very sweet and apologized and took them off the bill but it definitely impacted our experience. The food was decent, the blueberry pancake was really good but everything else was just okay. My server was still lovely and I really liked her just maybe an off day for sure.

Thank you for taking the time to share this, and also for your kind words about your server, we’ll be sure to pass that along to her. We’re really sorry about the wait and the delays with your drinks. That’s definitely not the experience we aim to provide. We’ve recently started accepting brunch reservations, and while that’s not an excuse, it may have contributed to the disorganization you experienced as we’re still adjusting our flow. We truly appreciate your patience and your feedback. It helps us improve quickly. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the blueberry pancake, and we hope to give you a much smoother experience on your next visit. Thanks again for coming by 🤍

Honestly, Foiegwa is always a nice and excellent restaurant that never disappoints with its food selection. I went with my friend to try their special 25$ set menu again this year after 9 pm, and it was such a steaaaaal. Although the choice was pretty limited, the food was bussing and succulent. We had the beef tartare, homemade spaghetti with butter and black truffle, and the duck breast. The taste and aroma of the food were so rich, flavorful, and tender. Although the service was a little bit slower, the staff were still attentive and present to check on you. Definitely worth going back to try their other menus.

I went to this restaurant with my friends and I found the atmosphere was very nice and food was great! It’s a small place, but since we went on a Tuesday it wasn’t crowded. I’ll definitely come back to try the brunch.

Creative, buzzing ambiance, great food. But what really stole the show were the cocktails (cinco de mayo) and the desserts (sweet clover crème caramel)!

The food was good but basic and not a big menu. The restaurant isn’t well decorated and clean but it isn’t big, so you need a reservation in the evening. And the service was nice.

I went here with my friends for brunch and we had a good time. The food was good. Lots of sea food options but limited in other areas. We ordered several dishes. It was a bit greasy but I liked the taste. The drinks were great! Serve was very nice and friendly. The staff greeted us, led us to our seats and kept checking on us. I took a picture of our food and shared it below. After our meal it took a while to get the bill so that wait was a bit annoying.

The service was disappointing. We had just finished eating when they immediately took our plates away. The waitress seemed very eager for us to leave she brought the bill right away because we didn’t order dessert. She looked upset the entire time and never smiled, even though we treated her with a lot of respect and kindness. The menu we were expecting wasn’t available, and they didn’t have the dessert that was mentioned on TikTok. Overall, the food quality was very average.

Hello Mary-Jane, Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our intention is never to make guests feel rushed. Clearing plates once a meal is finished and presenting the bill when no dessert is ordered is part of our standard service flow, but it should always be done in a way that feels natural and welcoming. We will review this internally to ensure the experience reflects the hospitality we aim to deliver. Regarding the menu and the dessert mentioned on TikTok, many of our items are seasonal or limited and may not always be available. We understand how expectations can be shaped online, and we’ll continue working on communicating availability more clearly. Thank you for taking the time to provide your perspective.

(UPDATE: January 2026) Foiegwa used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but unfortunately the drop in quality has become increasingly noticeable. I went to Foiegwa several times in 2025 and had consistently good experiences. The space is charming and beautiful, and the service is usually above average (and yes, the staff is undeniably good-looking — keep that part going). In early January, I went for brunch and was surprised by what seemed like a reduced portion. My eggs benedict arrived with only one egg on the bread. I pointed this out to the server, since the menu clearly says “eggs,” not “egg,” and everyone else at the table received two. An extra poached egg was brought to me — which I appreciated — but the situation still left me uncomfortable. For dessert, I ordered pancakes, which were burnt in my opinion. I’ve attached a photo so you can judge for yourselves. A few days later, I came back for dinner and, unfortunately, didn’t know that the late-night menu previously offered at $25.99 was no longer available. The food itself was good, but after these two experiences, I no longer feel that the value for money is as strong as it used to be. (PREVIOUS REVIEW) Excellent food, portion size, environment and staff. There’s no “bad choice” in their menu, everything seems to be delicious, I’ve been there 4 times and every single experience I had was good.

Hello Enzo, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback and for having supported Foiegwa over the years. We truly appreciate your past loyalty and your thoughtful observations. Regarding our late-night offering, we made a deliberate decision to transition from a fixed-price menu to an à la carte selection at accessible prices. This approach allows us to offer more choice and better reflect how our guests dine late at night. We continue to develop this offering as part of an ongoing effort to adapt to evolving habits. Your comments on the brunch menu have been noted. We are consistently working to strike the right balance between generous portions, quality ingredients, and responsible pricing in the current context. While we’re glad the food quality itself met expectations, we understand your concerns regarding perceived value and will share this feedback with our team as we continue to refine our menus. Thank you again for taking the time to write :)

Cozy and stylish place to dine in. Foiegwa was recommended by a few of my close friends who had great things to say about the menu items. A few of us chose la table d’hôte which is great for those who come here for the first time and would like to taste a bit of everything, while I ordered the homemade truffle spaghetti with oysters on the side. The oysters were slightly too salty in my opinion. The pasta was impeccable and we had to make sure everyone tried it!! We also ordered their cocktails, the Mariposa (the drink on the left) was delightful 🍝🪴

The brunch at Foie Gras was a real disappointment. I found it very average, with low-quality ingredients and flavors that were simply not there. The taste was lacking overall and did not meet expectations for a brunch experience. On the positive side, their pasta dishes and the burger are actually quite decent and much better than the brunch. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to make up for how underwhelming the brunch was.

My husband and I stumbled upon Foiegwa while researching breakfast places in Montreal, and we’re so glad we decided to give it a try. We arrived around 10:00 AM on a Sunday, and the restaurant was about half full, with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. After looking through the menu, my husband ordered the smoked duck Benedict, while I chose “Le Foiegwa Slam”, paired with a freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. Let me tell you, the pancake was spectacular. Perfectly fluffy, rich in flavor, and absolutely delicious. It was hands down one of the best pancakes I’ve had in a long time. The entire plate was well-balanced. My husband also really enjoyed his smoked duck Benedict, which was flavorful and well executed. Honestly, this meal alone felt worth the visit to Montreal. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a breakfast or brunch experience.
