About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Innovative

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

James Beard Award2013
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.

I had the omnivore tasting at La Pigeon, my friends had the vegetarian tasting. The food was inventive yet balanced. I had a cocktail next door prior to dinner that was great and wine with dinner that paired nicely. All of the staff were wonderful. We were fairly late being seated for our reservation, but the restaurant was courteous and professional providing excellent customer service. Overall, a great experience. I highly recommend.

I wasn’t sure what iteration of the menu we would get since we booked a few months before our visit. This restaurant was amazing, the food was on point with every single dish. The service was fantastic, and the ambiance was great! I’ll make sure to return next time I’m in town!

This was my first time here. Food was really delicious, and service was excellent. They were on top of everything, and very aware without being overly present. I had the omnivore menu and my lady had the vegetarian menu. I honestly enjoyed the bites I had of hers better than most of mine, but again, the food was great all around. The lighting was quite dim and I personally had a hard time reading the drinks menu. We were seated at the chef’s counter, so maybe lighting was different at the tables. Overall great experience, delicious and creative food, friendly and accommodating service. Would love to go back in the future!
