"Ask us who makes the best French food in Portland, and we'll say Le Pigeon every time. Seasonal dishes don’t shy away from unexpected ingredients—think sea buckthorn and furikake—and are nothing short of spectacular. The $135, seven-course tasting menu (with a vegetarian option) is served in a space that has bare brick walls and a tiny open kitchen. Depending on the day you might see things like chicken and dumplings with eel and pork belly or beef tartare with saffron pickled potatoes. The restaurant’s iconic foie gras profiteroles with caramel are always served as a meal-ender, and we now refuse to eat duck liver with heated sugar any other way." - krista garcia
