Le Pigeon

My wife and I shared and exceptional dinner with Le Pigeon. The atmosphere, service, and food were fantastic. The chefs were engaging along with the entire staff which made for a very nice dinner. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a nice dinner or dinner for a special occasion.

What a gem! Le Pigeon completely lived up to the hype - the ambience was cozy and cool, the staff were genuinely friendly and knew their stuff. We went all in on the chef’s tasting menu (including the supplement options for food and beverage), and both the vegetarian and meat options were absolutely incredible. The plating alone was worth the visit, every dish looked like a little work of art. We also did the non-alcoholic pairing, which was spot-on. Each pairing felt thoughtfully matched to its course rather than an afterthought. Totally worth the drive from Seattle.

Took my girlfriend and son here because I had heard Le Pigeon was one of the better tasting menu experiences in the PNW. It was their first tasting menu experience, and they enjoyed it very much. The menu was clearly crafted in a very thoughtful manner. It gave me classic French vibes, but I also tasted callbacks to American BBQ and Latin flavors as well. Highlights for me were the smoked rabbit pie, which was almost a play on a classic BBQ pulled pork sammie, with the sweet smoky meat, and crunchy slaw. The Foie Gras was treated very well, paired with cherry and mushrooms which I think is a delightful combo. The sturgeon really hit. Super smoky and peppery, and perfectly prepared with stunning presentation. The Lamb was out of this world by itself, perfectly cooked and delicious. I didnt even need the risotto paired with it, which was slightly undercooked. The desserts were also very creative and delicious. Service was perfect not much more to be said. Friendly, informative, and generous, without being overbearing or invasive. The ambience of the restaurant was also amazing. Its a small, intimate environment, well appointed and comfortable. Overall, Im extremely pleased with the whole experience and my son and girlfriend loved it as well. Would highly recommend to any tasting menu enthusiast.

This fine dining experience was phenomenal. Never really had French food and didn’t know what to expect, but man was it amazing. The food came out quick and it was so cool having a counter experience to see the chefs prepare each dish. The foie de gras dessert was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, but each dish had insane flavors. Definitely on the pricey side but I definitely got what I paid for and left very full! Also shoutout the staff for bringing multiple bread dishes.

Overall it was a great dining experience. The Scallop + Radish was our favorite dish of the night. It was incredibly fresh, light, and refreshing. The scallop had a wonderful firm, bouncy texture, and everything on the plate was perfectly balanced. The Smoked Rabbit Pie was another highlight. The rabbit was flavorful, and the pie crust really stood out. It was beautifully flaky and crispy, with a rich buttery aroma that added another layer of texture and flavor to the dish. We decided to add the Seared Foie Gras supplement. It was well executed, but personally I found it a bit too rich and heavy. The Smoked Sturgeon was the only course that didn’t quite meet our expectations. The fish was slightly overcooked and a little dry for my taste, although I really enjoyed the smoky flavor. The Australian Lamb was cooked beautifully—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Both desserts were excellent. The Blackberry Mousse was light, refreshing, and a perfect way to end the meal. The Foie Gras Profiterole was surprisingly delicious. No wonder the server mentioned that it’s been a signature item on the menu for years. Unlike the seared foie gras course, it didn’t feel overly rich at all, and somehow the foie gras paired incredibly well with the sweet dessert. It was unique, well-balanced, and truly memorable. Overall, this was a creative and enjoyable tasting menu with several standout dishes. We’d definitely recommend Le Pigeon for a special occasion.
