Le Pigeon serves adventurous French-inspired food, along with a varied selection of wines in an intimate dining room on Portland’s East Burnside Street.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Gabriel Rucker

  • Award icon

    James Beard Award2011

From the OpenTable editors: When Le Pigeon opened in 2006, it put Portland on the culinary map. The best seats in the intimate, brick-walled dining room are at the chef’s counter, where you’ll get a front row view of multi-James Beard Award-winner Gabriel Rucker’s dazzling, French-forward dishes. Cap the evening with playful desserts that could include foie gras profiteroles or a glass from the luscious Oregon- and French-centric wine list.

    Compared to the November menu, the July one felt like a bit of a step down in both food quality and overall thoughtfulness. The standout for us was definitely the shrimp and grits, it had such a cohesive, elegant umami and everything on the plate came together beautifully. Unfortunately, the other courses didn’t quite hit the same mark. Many felt like a collection of ingredients that didn’t have much chemistry, more like elements placed together rather than a fully harmonized dish. The steelhead, for example, didn’t leave the same impression as the cod from last time, and the final chicken dish was quite dry, especially in contrast to the rich, memorable sweetbread course from November. Within the same dish, the roasted pork also leaned dry and had a strong, slightly off-putting pork flavor. We also noticed that some of the carb portions felt more like filler than a thoughtful part of the composition.

    The wine can chicken was overcooked and very tough to eat, and the red wine pairing that went with it tasted a bit off. I didn't want to complain then as the service was generally pretty friendly, it was date night, and the grits and strawberry sherbet were excellent. Overall it was decent but I'm not sure it was worth the expense.

    The food and drink experience was absolutely amazing! The servers were very knowledgeable about each dish from the tasting menu and wine. Each had an extensive description of the dish and wine pairing. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are visiting Portland!

    20/10 - the best culinary experience this decade. From greeting to exit everything was executed with precision and thought. Well done.
