Interesting selection of dishes. The waiter described their dishes as ‘sharing plates’ rather like you get in China where multiple dishes are ordered and every diner eats from every dish. There were only two of us so we had to reduce the selection. We had the flatbread which was kind of like, say, an 8” pizza but with very tasty and original toppings. I think this was our favourite. Next we had tortellini stuffed with rabbit and served with a jus reduction from cooking the rabbit, there were 7 pieces. It would have been nicer to have had an even number as there were two of us. Finally we had the trout which was a deep red colour, cooked over wood and served on a bed of mixed vegetables. It was tasty but very small, we had about the size of a ‘fish ginger’ each. For dessert we chose the traditional chomeur pudding which was topped with an interesting combination of fruits and I think cream. We opted for one each of these. Sharing would have been inadequate. I finished with a coffee made the old fashioned way in an Italian coffee pot. I enjoyed what we had, but feel the sharing dishes especially the trout could have been more generous.

There are so many great restaurants it is hard to choose, but you will not disappointed if you decide on Foxy. Service is attentive and pleasant. True hospitality. After a glance at the menu, I told my friend she can order anything because there were so many options that I wanted. We decided on raw oysters, little gem salad, a pasta clam dish and halibut. Everything was made with care and layered with flavors. They are open seven days a week, be sure to make a reservation because they are packed.

I was able to get a seat at the bar . I have lost a lot of my smell and because of that taste but today made me very excited to experience that food still had the ability to make me excited . The wood fire was impeccable. Thank you foxy -and especially chef Andrew for what was an experience I most needed .

One of the finest dining experiences I've ever had. Every dish was special, and the service was outstanding. I hope to return to Montreal someday and will definitely go back to Foxy.

We had a lovely evening at Foxy last evening from the moment we were greeted to when we left. We sat at the bar where Enzo made sure we were comfortable and well informed of the items on the menu as well as the freshness of the products sources locally. He made very well informed wine suggestions to maximise the enjoyment of our meal. The beef tartare is the best, we order this regularly in others restaurants, that we have had. The caveleti with clams was a dish to crave enough to be back for another visit. Thank you for a wonderful meal. Now i wish i could remember the name of the book Enzo recommended…

Really enjoyed our dinner at Foxy. We started with the gem salad and the flatbread, absolutely delicious. The steak was also tasty and perfectly cooked. Finished with the sablé for dessert, which was a great way to end the meal. Nice atmosphere, very good food, and friendly, attentive service.

It's very rare that I would give a restaurant 5 stars, but Foxy is the exception. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. The service is top-notch- personable and attentive to a tee. It is a cozy and inviting restaurant that did not disappoint and has quickly become one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal.

Foxy was easily one of my favorite dining experiences in Montreal. From the moment you walk in, the restaurant has such a beautiful feel—modern and intimate, with dark tones, large open windows, and an open kitchen that brings the whole space together. We started with the shishito peppers, which were seriously addictive. They have this burst of flavor when you bite into them, followed by a sauce that balances everything perfectly. The feta with fresh pita was simple but done so well, and the matika was another standout. The Angus steak was the highlight of the food for me. Perfectly medium rare, tender, and you can actually taste hints of the wood fire. That’s what I loved most about Foxy’s cooking—the way they bring together fresh ingredients with smoky, wood-fired flavors without anything feeling too heavy. For drinks, I had the Foxy Martini, which was incredibly crisp and refreshing. The best way I can describe it is like drinking ice-cold water when you wake up thirsty in the middle of the night 😂. My girlfriend had the New Delhi and really enjoyed it too. A special shoutout to Mark, who honestly made the night. He knew the menu extremely well and every recommendation he gave us was spot-on. Instead of simply taking our order, he guided us through the menu based on what we liked, and by the end of dinner I completely trusted his choices. When he found out it was my birthday, he surprised me with a dessert on the house. I don’t even remember what it was called because I just let him choose 😂, but it was delicious and the perfect ending to the night. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and even better hospitality. Foxy is definitely somewhere I’ll return to whenever I’m back in Montreal. Thank you to Mark and the entire team for making my birthday dinner so memorable!

Service was impeccable. Food was an 8/9 out of 10. My biggest criticism is the price. Way too high for those portion sizes. Also, too dark inside and too loud, which kinda ruined the mood slightly.

We love Foxy. It's a bustling restaurant with a distinct decor and atmosphere--a je-ne-sais-quoi that makes it unique and real. Lots of experience went into this restaurant. From the decor, the layout, the service and of course the cuisine, everything is professional. Now lets talk about the food: from fantastic martinis to a great wine selection by the glass and 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, and the manager immediately came to apologize and offered to pay for cleaning and drinks. Very professional. Most restaurants would fail right there, but not Foxy. Recommended.

Had three staff members walked past me several times and not acknowledge me when I was waiting for a table outside. So I can’t attest to the food however no one acknowledged me so I went to the place next-door called La bureau and they were quick to see me and be very nice.

We had such a fabulous meal here a couple weeks ago. Everything was top notch. We sat at the bar, clam pasta was a highlight. They coursed everything really well. Cocktails were also great. Wine list also looks awesome. Wood fired for the win!

Fancy and delicious it’s how I can describe my experience. The menu is supposed to be shared so we choose the flatbread, cavatelli and the pork. Made with fresh ingredients and rich in flavors I highly recommend this place.

Sabrina is the bast bartender I’ve ever had. New Delhi is the best cocktail I’ve ever had. Honoured to have this cocktail named after my city.
