I think the pasta is a bit overcooked. The portion is small, even for a light eater.

The 25$ menu is a cost effective option. The portions are good and taste is fantastic! But make sure to reserve before, cuz the 25$ menu is only available for client with the reservation after 9pm :)

Once told a friend to visit here and when they came back they bragged about it being the best restaurant reccomendation they ever have received. So let's just say it is really good.

I’d heard so many good things about this restaurant, so I finally decided to try it out — but honestly, it was mediocre at best. I ordered the late-night table d’hôte, starting with a stale potato salad, followed by a dry, cold, and pasty truffle pasta that barely had any truffle flavour. For dessert, I got a sandy brownie that felt like a piece that sat on the counter for days. The wine selection by the glass was okay. Given that it’s only 25$ for the whole 3 course menu, it’s definitely not bad, but I expected so much better for such an institution.

We came for my partner's birthday; we enjoyed it very much. Food was excellent, service was a bit slow but they were also busy so I could clearly tell they were understaffed however the ambiance and music made up for it.

I’ve heard about Foiegwa since forever and finally tried it for the Mtrl a table event.

First of all, the service was so warm and friendly. Professional while not pretentious. I felt we were really a regular at a neighbourhood restaurant even though it was our first time here.

Food was delicious. Fair portions. Well balanced in flavours except for the pasta which was a bit salty.

Atmosphere was casual and cozy. Great for a date night.

Would definitely come back again. We kinda fell in love with that spot. Wish brunch took reservations!

I’m honestly really disappointed with my brunch experience at Foiegwa today. My fiancé and I came here back in the summer of 2023 and had such an incredible meal that it stuck with us for years.

For my birthday brunch this November (2025), I decided to order the same thing — the chicken and waffles — but what came out was a totally different experience. The chicken was dry, overcooked, and served in small nugget-like pieces instead of the full, juicy portions they used to make. The waffles were also dry and lifeless, missing the balance and flavor that made the original dish special. For $25, it really felt like a downgrade. Thankfully, I added potatoes on the side — they ended up being the best part of the meal.

Photos attached: 2023 vs 2025 — the difference speaks for itself.
I’m giving 3 stars because not every dish here is bad (I’ve tried both brunch and dinner), but seeing how much this signature plate has changed makes me realize it’s not worth the hype anymore. I really hope the kitchen revisits what once made their food great.

It's 18+. And no notice anywhere on that. So its a bar or a restaurant...? They should do a better job on that
