Bar Pigalle, located at 2915 John R Street in the heart of Brush Park, Detroit, offers a New-American, French-inspired dining experience combined with a creative selection of playful cocktails and an exceptional wine list. Led by award-winning mixologist Travis Fourmont and Chef Norman Valenti, Bar Pigalle is nestled within The Carlton Lofts, a historic building designed by renowned American architect Louis Kamper.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Norman Valenti

From the OpenTable editors: Part of a new wave of French restaurants in Detroit and named a best new restaurant by Eater, this Brush Park destination is the place to be for stellar cocktails and wine. That's because award-winning drinks pro Travis Fourmant leads the team and has created a lineup that includes a Corsican Negroni and a Parisian Painkiller. Pair it with American Wagyu steak frites, mussels, and more in a chic space with turquoise banquettes, hanging plants, and exposed brick.

The Christmas Eve brunch at Bar Pigalle was excellent. The food and service were fantastic. The only thing I recommend is to better time the courses so there isn’t a large wait time between each one.

I never, ever waste time on writing poor reviews - I believe word-of-mouth is still the truest form of good (or bad) advertising. But this experience was really bad. We were excited to try another “newer” restaurant in Detroit, but sadly things fell flat right after we were seated by the friendly hostess. Between the ultra snooty servers (both our main server and the server who poured our wine) and the small, mediocre portion of fries and baked Brie we ordered as starters, we ultimately decided to give up trying and leave even though we still had half a bottle of wine to finish. We tried, but we won’t be going back.

Went there with my wife before a Red Wings game. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Food was excellent. Not a big selection, but not uncommon these days.

My wife and I came here because we both love French food and this place was highly rated. After dining here, we see why. Delicious food, excellent service and a great ambiance. We’d absolutely eat here again if we were back in Detroit.
