Gruf, unhelpful, pretentious, So the atmosphere was generally made. The service was rough and rushed. I was not treated as a high-paying customer I was treated as some sort of ghetto street rat. The servers are not pretty enough to act the way they do. Many better places to dine in town.

yummy! our menu had a lot of mushy textures in the dish components, which is something to call out if it's not your thing. that said, the menu changes. delightful meal. will recommend.

This is a magical delicious experience above what a typical restaurant has to offer. A place to go to celebrate good times or just good food.Every bite is thought out and exquisite.The wine pairing takes it to the next level and is reccomended.Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian tasting menu as well as the normal one.

I was really excited to celebrate our 10th anniversary with you guys since my friend had highly recommended for us to come here and sadly we were pretty disappointed in the overall experience. I wasn’t going to post this publicly and sent a private review but Le Pigeon didn’t respond which made this even more disappointing and thought folks might appreciate an honest review (wish I had known).TLDR: Not worth the price, service needs work, ambience isn’t where it needs to be for a high end restaurant and definitely overhyped.First, when we were seated I noticed there was only one table open and it was sat very closely to a couple and asked the server seating us if that was our table that was close to them and they said yes and likely saw my hesitation. I almost moved the table over so we could have more space because it was 2 inches from our table (I wish I was exaggerating). We felt like we were getting sat at 4 top with strangers. The couple to the other side of us had a little more breathing room but we felt sandwiched in. It was just super uncomfortable for us to even conversate that we were actually having to text each other to communicate. At one point another couple was sat next to us as the first one left, we could tell they felt uncomfortable being so close to us. Then shortly after the blonde hair server came back over actually moved our table closer to them about an inch, almost felt that they thought we moved the table when it was the other couple that did.The first server was a blonde with short/medium bob haircut greeted us and gave us the tasting menu and left us to look at the menu and drink options. About 10 minutes later, I noticed they were helping several other tables, but hadn’t gotten back to us so a friendly red hair server with a facial piercing came over to fill up my water and that’s when I asked if we could order our drinks from them instead and they gladly did. I looked over and could tell that the red hair server told the blonde hair server about taking our drink order. It just felt like a very long time just for a drink order and we already had known which tasting menu we wanted before we even sat down.The food overall was okay (not worth the price at all after thinking about this more). We liked most of the dishes, but the fish plate was definitely overcooked and the first basket of bread was rock hard - at first I thought that was what it was supposed to be like until one of the servers asked if we wanted another and we got it and it was much softer the second round.Another thing that seemed like a simple gesture was that we came there to celebrate our anniversary and we had zero acknowledgment of that and I had put on Resy that that was the occasion we were coming to celebrate. I understand if you guys don’t do anything special for it but the simple acknowledgment would have sufficed.The music venue must have had a concert going on because it sounded like a rave was happening on top of us every 20 minutes and it was clashing with the music from the restaurant. I know it bothered the other couples around us who were also making comments. I know this isn’t something you all aren't able to control, but it definitely gives off a weird vibe for such an intimate and cozy restaurant you all have.I did let the red hair server that they were wonderful because they ended up coming over the most often and taking care of us and every time the blonde hair server came over we just didn’t feel they were very friendly the entire time after we ordered drinks from the red hair server. The other servers were good as well outside of the blonde hair one last night.I wish I could say our experience was different because I had some high hopes hearing about great experiences from other folks but as of now, I wouldn’t recommend or go here again as I feel we really didn’t get the experience we had hoped for, especially celebrating such a big occasion for us.

Innovative French cuisine in the style of Le Pigeon.Le Pigeon presents adventurous French-inspired cuisine, characterized by its unique creativity and originality. Enjoy a diverse selection of wines in the intimate setting of its East Burnside Street location in Portland.Their Chef's Tasting Menu promises a complete journey with nine courses, starting from amuse-bouche to petits fours.The dishes are visually appealing, almost like paintings on plates!I was impressed by the friendly and excellent full service, as well as the quality and flavors of the dishes.

I'll be brief; mid place for a date, given that you should focus on the food. When dessert comes around, ask for the dolin blanc.

Celebrated my husband’s birthday at Le Pigeon sitting at the chefs counter. It was an incredible meal and experience. Loved chatting with the chefs and seeing the magic come together. Start to finish delicious food, nicely paired wines - each with a unique story, and overall amazing evening. We will be back next time we are in Portland.

Having eaten at most of the good restaurants in the city, I'd have to say Le Pigeon is the best. The dessert was the best I've ever eaten in my 36 years of life. Service was great, neighborhood is awesome. You know the food is good when you drop about 400 bucks for two people and you walk out smiling. People forget that cooking is skilled labor, and Le Pigeon represents some of the most skilled people in the industry in our town- that goes for front of house staff, servers, cooks, and all the kitchen staff that contribute to make dining at places like Le Pigeon/Canard such a wonderful experience. One small note, I was not a huge fan of the Musubi, it was a bit too pineapplely for my tastes, but my partner enjoyed it and I am not the biggest Musubi guy, so that really is not the fault of the restaurant.
Consistently one of the best restaurants in Portland. French, but not dogmatically so.Each dish is a creative combination of ingredients and textures. And the meal always fits together like a wonderful story.Great for a special occasion. Or make up an occasion so you have a reason to go.

Fantastic. Extremely rewarding.Even the basic wine pairing was exceptional, though some were too cold.No dish here was a lifetime standout but everything was expertly crafted and many were delightful and intensely satisfying.The overall experience of sitting at the bar and not taking it too seriously and having good conversation and just enjoying what was put in front of us was one of the simplest and richest dining experiences in memory.It was a lovely time and I'm grateful for the work that went into creating this space.
