Foiegwa - Montreal, Quebec

A Canadian staple of Montreal and a pretty solid one. Did the 3 course meal for $49 CAD. Wish the portions were a little bit larger, but for the quality of food it was pretty solid. The Caesar salad with the shredded cheese was excellent, the spaghetti with truffle a perfect addition ... and to close it with chocolate mousse with the granola was memorable by far. Ask for their cocktail of the month if they don’t mention it. Pretty good way to start the meal. Place is essential if you come to Montreal and are a food enthusiast like myself. Read more

Would go back for the drinks alone. Boy am glad the bar tender from the Atwater Cocktail club was tending at Foiegwa that night! Sipped on the Golden Wind. Lots of ingredients in there but you taste ALL of them TOGETHER. Lots going on in there, enough for your taste ... buds to lose their minds! The gold is a nice touch but messy. The Cinco de Mayo was good too. Fun drink but would gladly just order a second Gold Wind. Food is also nice. Torchon is only ok (might actually only have oysters next time...or tartar as app) but the scallop risotto nailed it. First, risotto is cooked perfectly, titering between barely uncooked and cooked. The scallops were too few but perfectly cooked. Tender buttery and seared enough on the outside. Flavours were subtle yet bold and satisfying. Bravo. The tartar was good. Flavour is on point but I wish they had a cut that makes it more tender. It was a tiny bit too chewy. Would still order it again though. The dessert was good but forgettable. So I actually forgot what it was. Read more

Hands down the best Caesar salad I’ve ever had at a restaurant! The risotto was incredible I love the citrus vibe and crunchy parm. The scallops could have been cooked a little less . My partner loved the braised beef the most . Would definitely recommend for an intimate date ... night spot. Great customer service and reasonable prices Read more

Great dining experience! I had the 25$ 3 course menu (Sun-Thur, past 9pm) and everything was really tasty. The truffle pasta lived up to the hype for me. Also our waiter was super nice.

Very charming. The food is very very rich. We got the 3 course meal for $25 deal (available Sunday-Thursday after 9pm) The truffle pasta was really good. The chicken liver was also very good. We didn’t love everything else. Make a reservation at least a few days in advance. Great atmosphere for a group ... smaller than 4 people. Read more
