Took my dad here for his birthday dinner and had a wonderful time. The food is incredible with lots of flavors and complexities. We loved every dish we ordered. Staff had excellent attention to detail and very knowledgeable.
They don't do any vegan options.
It's a pretty unhealthy menu and they put butter and milk in everything. Pretty disappointed because Ive never heard of a restaurant doing this and I had to cancel my reservation. Usually restaurants are very accommodating and I've never be

This is the single greatest dining experience I've ever had in my life. I dined here in April and have not stopped thinking about it since. I must get myself back to Portland just to eat here again. Get the wine pairing!!

My boyfriend surprised me with a booking here on our last night in Portland! We don't typically get French cuisine, but we were in the mood for something high end. He booked on OpenTable on the same day at 7:00 pm. When we arrived, we were sur

Just in town for a few days and they had availabilities day of on a Wednesday! The staff was super nice and even gave me some recs for other places to eat. Loved how all dishes were centered around a protein. I got a glimpse of some of the vegetarian
All in all, it was a great experience dining at Le Pigeon.
However, given the price point, I was a bit disappointed with some of the dishes. My favorite dish was the foie gras and duck lumpia. The duck fat combined with the crispy lumpia was PACKED with flavor. I also enjoyed the ube/tamarind drink in the n
Late review for 4/18 Was fortunate enough to have booked
Late review for 4/18 Was fortunate enough to have booked the counter for an impromptu anniversary trip. Coming from LA I was honestly a bit skeptical how the food scene would compare but boy was I educated. It was amazing watching this talented tea
Delicious Dining in a Small but Lively Space
Had a great experience at this tasting menu restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious—each course was creative, well-executed, and full of flavor. You can really tell the chef puts a lot of thought into the presentation and pairings. The space

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. T
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
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
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 impor

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 r
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

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 chicke

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 porti
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
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 tex
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.

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 p
There's a reason why this is an emblematic place in Portland
Definitely one of Portland basic places. We've been going for a long time and every single time is better than the last. This place lives up to its name and fame. We had —as always— the tasting menu and it is totally worth it. I have problems eve
Le Pigeon never disappoints.
We try to make it there anytime we are in Portland. I am not a vegetarian but ordered the vegetarian chef's menu so we wouldn't miss out on any dish and I am so glad I did. It sounds weird but the omelet was one of the best dishes I've had in ages. T
I think Le Pigeon has seen better days.
The food was super tired. I mean we couldn't wring one ounce of joy outta those entrees. Even the pictures look tired.I'm tired just writing this. Needless to say this was a disappointing experience for what was supposed to be one of the best restaur
Our meal at Le Pigeon was a wonderful experience.
We sat at the counter which allowed us the pleasure of watching the food be prepared in a restaurant like this, that is a true treat as each plate is like a work of art.The biggest surprise of the meal for me was the beer can chicken dish. It's fasci

I am a 65 year old lifelong vegetarian and the meal that I had last night at Le Pigeon was the best meal I have ever had in my entire life. It was a tasting menu, which was a special treat, a little bit of a lot of things, and yet it was balanced and
Fantastic food and service and a experience.
Not only was the food beyond expectations the staff and chef show true pride in food and experience. Worth the wait to get in, it's a true treat, very ada friendly

Underwhelmed.
I am a big foodie and after living in Portland for 9 years this restaurant has always been on my list. Should've went when they opened years ago. Did not life up to the hype or price at allThe space is incredibly cramped. And the tables looked haphaz

I wanted to try this restaurant ever since I saw it on Unique Eats in 2012. 10 years later, I finally did it and on my birthday no less.It's definitely a pricey meal but it's worth every penny. It's a small restaurant but I never felt crammed in. Ser
Adventuresome but over-complicated
The is a lot to like about Le Pigeon. Service is excellent and the wine list is superb. On the other hand, to me, the food is adventuresome (good!) but often over-complicated. IE the core ingredients (like quail or lamb) get lost in the preparations
Great food but venue cold & loud
Dined here with 6 and sat at the table in front of the window. Very cold against the glass and the air conditioning could not be tired down. Great looking restaurant so the view was nice but they also had a live band playing upstairs which was extrem
Connect with users posting reservations for Le Pigeon Portland
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Le Pigeon Portland. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Le Pigeon Portland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Le Pigeon Portland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at Le Pigeon Portland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Le Pigeon Portland!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
