Le Pigeon Portland Reviews from The Last Year
Creative/Innovative
Only tasting menu options. One classic and one vegetarian. 5 courses for $135 per person plus one additional course upon request for supplementary charge of $25. Upon booking the table, your credit card will be charged plus 20% tip. Wine pairing. Two options: regular one for $45 and a reserve wine for $85, and include 5 glasses 3-4 ounces each. If you order the sixth course with the supplement course, then you can order a sixth glass of one to pair with it and the charge is $17. Yes all adds up and ends with a bill of $650 for two The place is very small, can accommodate 22 persons plus 6-8 on the high seats they call the chef’s table. Service: excellent , very attentive , very knowledgeable and friendly. Food: it is a nice creative and innovative menu to please the palate. Some dishes are better than others and all different. Few lack the WoW factor, but overall it is very creative menu. Ambience: this is not a fine dining place, no dress code. More of a dress down done up. Unless you are celebrating an occasion, then the dress is for you and not for the establishment. Value: Ok for the quality and creativity Recommendation: hmmmm although we liked this restaurant and the food, yet we were not truly impressed with some dishes as lacking the WoW factor, but overall good experience (not necessarily memorable).
A must, an experience, small team & kitchen, better than a 1000 chefs
PHENOMINAL! And I am a critic. Fabulous ballet work in the small kitchen before your eyes, seemlessly preparing amazing dishes in a tiny space, plating, smoothing, topping, dotting their works of art, arms over and under and around, for a fabulously unexpected meal. Also, hats off to the server sharing the wine pairing with utmost detail of soil and region etc of each pour (and as I winemaker, I was happily shocked). Well done to this incredible, yet small team. Including the grace of the Mairtred. Can wait for next visit!
Absolutely incredible experience here, and well worth the
Absolutely incredible experience here, and well worth the price. Sat at the counter where the chefs were very interactive and happy to answer any questions. The tasting menu was incredible - each course prepared with both presentation and flavor in mind. I can't wait to go back!
My family and I had a lovely evening there.
Greeted promptly and warmly. Very nice amuse bouche of Dungeness crab. Three of us went with the regular tasting plus the fois gras supplemental course - the other did the vegetarian tasting menu. Each course was unique, well-executed, and most importantly delicious. Wine pairing was on point and our two kids had really thoughtful and creative non-alcoholic pairings (some great restaurants get lazy on the NA options, but Le Pigeon did not!). Highly recommend for a splurge night.

Excellent tasting menu! It was a bit too slowly paced at times, especially in the beginning, but we enjoyed the meal very much. The venison tartare with a fantastic start, and the chicken and dumplings was super flavorful. We also enjoyed the short rib and foie gras (add-on) courses very much. I enjoyed the foie gras profiteroles best. The ambiance is rustic and homey. We had a chardonnay from Williamette Valley to go with our dishes, and it was super smooth and buttery.
Finally got to try Le pigeon with a couple of my friends.
Overall it was good. The dishes were unique and presented beautifully and tasted alright. I especially liked the halibut and the desserts. Our server was amazing and accomodating. I liked how intimate the space was also but unfortunately, the night we went the music next door was very loud and it got a bit annoying and it was hard to hear conversations.
Celebrated our first anniversary at Le Pigeon and the
Celebrated our first anniversary at Le Pigeon and the experience didn't disappoint. The tasting menu was a journey through unique flavors, with each dish bringing something new to the table. Highlights included the rabbit musubi, pig foot and escargot, the roasted mistake they subbed in due to my shrimp allergy and an absolutely memorable foie gras profiterole. The wine pairings were a perfect match, elevating the meal even further. Everything from the service to the ambiance of the tiny cozy restaurant made our night special. They even had a happy anniversary printed out on our menu for us.
The service was pretty good, but the waiter kept leaving
The service was pretty good, but the waiter kept leaving for long periods of time without even checking on me, for about 30 minutes at a time before I even ordered my main course of Chicken Dumplings, they were burnt and hardly filled with any chicken. It was way to expensive and the lights hurt my eyes. There wasn't enough food for the amount I had to pay and It was a downright awful experience. Do not go here you will regret it. But if you do some of the other foods were pretty good
I was really excited to celebrate our 10th anniversary with
I was really excited to celebrate our 10th anniversary with you guys since my friend had highly recommended for us to come here and sadly we were pretty disappointed in the overall experience. I wasn't going to post this publicly and sent a private review but Le Pigeon didn't respond which made this even more disappointing and thought folks might appreciate an honest review (wish I had known). TLDR: Not worth the price, service needs work, ambience isn't where it needs to be for a high end restaurant and definitely overhyped. First, when we were seated I noticed there was only one table open and it was sat very closely to a couple and asked the server seating us if that was our table that was close to them and they said yes and likely saw my hesitation. I almost moved the table over so we could have more space because it was 2 inches from our table (I wish I was exaggerating). We felt like we were getting sat at 4 top with strangers. The couple to the other side of us had a little more breathing room but we felt sandwiched in. It was just super uncomfortable for us to even conversate that we were actually having to text each other to communicate. At one point another couple was sat next to us as the first one left, we could tell they felt uncomfortable being so close to us. Then shortly after the blonde hair server came back over actually moved our table closer to them about an inch, almost felt that they thought we moved the table when it was the other couple that did. The first server was a blonde with short/medium bob haircut greeted us and gave us the tasting menu and left us to look at the menu and drink options. About 10 minutes later, I noticed they were helping several other tables, but hadn't gotten back to us so a friendly red hair server with a facial piercing came over to fill up my water and that's when I asked if we could order our drinks from them instead and they gladly did. I looked over and could tell that the red hair server told the blonde hair server about taking our drink order. It just felt like a very long time just for a drink order and we already had known which tasting menu we wanted before we even sat down. The food overall was okay (not worth the price at all after thinking about this more). We liked most of the dishes, but the fish plate was definitely overcooked and the first basket of bread was rock hard - at first I thought that was what it was supposed to be like until one of the servers asked if we wanted another and we got it and it was much softer the second round. Another thing that seemed like a simple gesture was that we came there to celebrate our anniversary and we had zero acknowledgment of that and I had put on Resy that that was the occasion we were coming to celebrate. I understand if you guys don't do anything special for it but the simple acknowledgment would have sufficed. And I know you're transitioning to Open Table so maybe that note got lost, but the first server to greet us could have asked while seating us if we were celebrating anything tonight like most higher end restaurants do. The music venue must have had a concert going on because it sounded like a rave was happening on top of us every 20 minutes and it was clashing with the music from the restaurant. I know it bothered the other couples around us who were also making comments. I know this isn't something you all aren't able to control, but it definitely gives off a weird vibe for such an intimate and cozy restaurant you all have. I did let the red hair server that they were wonderful because they ended up coming over the most often and taking care of us and every time the blonde hair server came over we just didn't feel they were very friendly the entire time after we ordered drinks from the red hair server. The other servers were good as well outside of the blonde hair one last night. I wish I could say our experience was different because I had some high hopes hearing about great experiences from other folks but as of now, I wouldn't recommend or go here again as I feel we really didn't get the experience we had hoped for, especially celebrating such a big occasion for us.
I decided to wait a few weeks before giving this review
I decided to wait a few weeks before giving this review incase I changed my mind but the 3 stars still stands. I was pretty disappointed with the experience and food itself with the hype this place had. My partner and I went into it knowing the portions would be small but in the end, we both agreed that most of the dishes did not have a ton of flavor. With the price being as high as it was, we both were expecting so much more. The wine pairing was good and the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. This experience makes it hard for me to want to do one of these again though but who knows. Thank god I had a $500 gift card from my boss, otherwise I might have given it two stars, since it's $325 to just get food as they do a 20% gratuity, no matter what.
I'm struggling with this review.
In theory if I could I'd give it 3.5, I guess. Nothing terribly wrong, service was great the inside is small and cute but I honestly thought the flavors of the dishes would've blown me away more for the price. I had the vegetarian course with a wine pairing. The best items were definitely the mushroom soup dish, and the roasted Maitake. The beets dish was just bizarre, every bite I couldn't figure out what I was eating, some bites were good and then some not so good. Also serious kudos on the foi Gras dessert (had some of my partners bites), now that was something I thought I'd expect to see more of throughout the whole course of the meal. Since the menu changes I'm not sure how much this review of worth. If you have the money to spend (which I didn't but was invited to dinner) - go for it? I feel this type of setting is definitely for the people that like this niche market and I'd like to hope the next round of menus is better than mine.
Absolutely ON-POINT last night and unforgettable.
Every last detail from the amicable server to the focused kitchen staff were perfection. This place never disappoints. My new recommendation here has got to be the nonalcoholic pairing!! The mocktails were incredibly tailored to each course. The textures and balance of the food was impeccable and inspiring. (Pickled walnuts with venison whaaaaat!) This is one of those places I feel weird about reviewing on Yelp because it's so beyond good. It always makes me feel lucky to live in Portland and grateful to the people so committed to this craft.
Too expensive for such tiny portions.
Pretentious. At least now I know after 20+ years when I could never get a reservation I wasn't missing anything.
Le Pigeon is a great choice for celebrating any occassion,
Le Pigeon is a great choice for celebrating any occassion, for fancy dinner. We chose the chef's counter dinner experience and we saw the culinary magic happening in the kitchen. Never knew that french cuisine was so complex and has rich flavors. The service is impeccable, with a knowledgeable and attentive staff that complements the experience. Ambience was very rustic in nature. Not like the typical luxury dining ambiance, something rustic and interesting.
Everything here was amazing .
... Elevating food. The eggs are to die for. Great service and well done vibes!

Le Pigeon provides outstanding service, featuring attentive
Le Pigeon provides outstanding service, featuring attentive staff and a welcoming, cozy atmosphere. Nevertheless, the overall ambiance is marred by noise from nearby businesses. Although the halibut dish is flavorful, there seemed to be a slight overcooking that detracts from its intended texture. Despite these minor shortcomings, the restaurant's inventive menu, blending unexpected flavors and artistic plating, contributes to a memorable dining experience.
Not what we expected
Review of The Pigeon Restaurant: My experience at The Pigeon restaurant was quite disappointing overall. Despite its reputation as an expensive establishment, I found the unfriendly reservation policy to be off-putting. The fact that they required prepayment without providing sufficient details about the menu was a major drawback. When it came to the food, I was thoroughly disappointed with the taste. The dishes served lacked flavor and failed to impress my taste buds. Despite the restaurant's reputation as an expensive establishment, the taste of the food did not live up to my expectations. Another issue I encountered was the pricing of the wine. Not only was it expensive, but it was also not included in the overall cost of the meal. This made the dining experience even more costly, and I felt that it was an unnecessary expense. It would have been more reasonable to include a wine selection within the fixed price, given the high prices already associated with the restaurant. Considering the overall experience, I cannot recommend The Pigeon restaurant. The combination of an unfriendly reservation policy, poor-tasting food, and expensive wine that was not included in the meal cost left me feeling dissatisfied. There are many other restaurants in the area that offer better value for money and a more enjoyable dining experience.
