About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for fine wines
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 Award2013
  • 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.

    Not bad. Tasting menu is a lot. Service is nice, but kind of stuffy and scripted. Wine list skews high, not many sub $100 options. Supplements for the tasting menu aren't too expensive ($25) but may push things overboard (just because you *can* mix foie and uni and a waffle with a banana relish doesn't mean you should?). Glad I went, may revisit in a few years.

    Went for my wife’s birthday - have been meaning to go for a while and Le Pigeon exceeded expectations. Was pleasantly surprised there was a vegetarian option, which was fantastic.

    Service from the minute we entered was professional, super knowledgeable and enjoyably discreet. Food was divine, both vegetarian and omnivorous. Wine pairing made it very special indeed! What a treat.
