Went for a brunch here as a friend of mine really wanted to try this restaurant. Once out of the restaurant, I understood why I never went back to Foiegwa since my first visit in 2018. The place is really small and when it gets busy (which is the case for brunch time during the weekend), the noise makes it impossible to enjoy the atmosphere. It can really give you a headache!Besides the atmosphere, I honestly think that the food is not worth the vibe. If compared to other places, the fried chicken is Ok, the fries came cold which wasn’t very appealing and the Foiegwa Slam was ok but nothing special about it.

This place was super good, but I will say its a TAD pricy. If you eat alot you wont be satisfied with the serving size for the price!

Painfully white. Music too loud. Spilled some vinegar and accidentally started a chemical reaction. Staff was average. Food was really good though, although portions were small.

It was really great . Nice place it's really pretty inside it's smaller than you think but the fact that it's small it really makes the experience better go there if you like to have a talk.

Good food, nice flavor.Went after 21h for the 25$ per person. It was very good and on small portions so i didn't feel bloated after. The server was very friendly and well mannered.We took 2 cocktails each and it was very tasty, they sure know how to make mexican cocktails.

Interesting cocktails. Offers a late night menu with dishes that pairs well together — would recommend ordering both if dining for two. Appetizing dishes, especially the chicken liver mousse which was very palatable and oddly delightful. Place was packed full and pretty loud, would not recommend for first dates or first time meetings; great place for catching up or date nights.
A laid back spot that's great for a date or just a casual hangout with a couple of friends. It's not big, and would probably be best for parties of 4 max. The plates are small and meant to be shared, but price-wise could quickly add up, so don't come too hungry. I really enjoyed the truffle spaghetti.

A Night to Remember at Foiegwa, Where the Cocktails Are as Dazzling as the Conversation!If you're looking for a place where the dishes inspire awe and the cocktails could win awards, look no further than Foiegwa in Griffintown. Nestled in the heart of the neighborhood, this gem offers a "Menu Découverte" that's like a treasure hunt for your taste buds, revealing one culinary delight after another.Sitting at the bar really amps up the experience, especially with Chloe as your cocktail-conjuring, story-spinning maestro behind the counter. Not only does she know her way around a shaker, but she’s also your go-to guru for all things mixology and Griffintown gossip. Whether you’re sipping on a meticulously crafted martini or diving into a plate of their renowned foie gras, Chloe will ensure your evening is filled with flair and fun.Foiegwa isn't just a restaurant; it's a rendezvous spot for those who appreciate the finer things in life, like good food, great drinks, and engaging bartenders. By the end of the night, you’ll be raising your glass to good health, great company, and the undeniable charm of Chloe!

Good appetizers, highly recommend frog legs.Drinks were very good too, both taste and presentation-wise.Pasta felt very anticlimactic, wouldn’t order again.Atmosphere of a diner, good if you like cozy.Prices are a bit high for the portion size IMO

My friends and I had a wonderful dining experience at Foiegwa. The food was pricey but absolutely delicious! As for people giving this place one star reviews for not accepting kids: This is NOT discrimination. As they clearly advertise on their website, they are technically a bar not a restaurant and are simply respecting Quebec laws. There are many other establishments like them in Montreal with similar restrictions.

I have been there 3-4 times for both brunch and dinner. The dishes are always great, BUT the drinks are outstanding!! You might feel a bit cramped up in busy night. Overall is a worthy place to try! P.S. The fried chicken with waffle and the black truffle pasta with egg yoke are my top reformations.
