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.

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.

I have been to this restaurant many times over the course of last 20 years and I have to say this was one of my favorite places for creative food and good service. Unfortunately during my last visit to this place I noticed that the quality of service and food have significantly declined. The waiters are not attentive and the service was very sluggish.
