Best

loved it from the moment go and have been back 3 times in 5 weeks so what does that tell you.I have to recommend the mussels pigalle and any glass of wine from the house list will...

Worst

This is placed under seafood restaurants,and just b/c you have some seafood on the menu, you are not necessarily a seafood restaurant. The food is good, the view was pretty good,...

Romantic Seattle Restaurant Place Pigalle 3/11/2011

I am member of a daily deal site called Tippr and I bought the Place Pigalle voucher. I finally got around to getting my wife out of the house to a romantic dinner and used my voucher for the meal. I was welcomed warmly and seated quickly and all I can say is that the food was better than described on the website. The owner stopped by my table shook my hand and asked if we needed anything.My wife was amazed that i went through the trouble of finding such a romantic restaurant that had so of the best food.I wanted to say that this restaurant is one that deserves more attention and is worth the money.I have recommendation that you try the mussells pigalle and the roast duck. more

Best Seattle Restaurant 3/6/2011

i want to leave a glowing review for one of the best restaurants in all of seattle. Place Pialle has gone out of their way to make my dining experience a pleasurable one. They executed on preparing dishes and created a aptomsphere in which one can lose track of time.I love that wine list was extensive,service was great not over the top and that i had a great time with my loved ones. I will surely visit this place again and recommend the french onion soup to all who will listen. more

Seattle French Restaurant 2/28/2011

I wanted to try something I never tried before which was French food. I looked around on the net and asked for some recommendations from friends and happened to upon Place Pigalle. I made a reservation and was prepared for nice evening with my girlfriend. I arrived at place pigalle to see romantic and charming restaurant in the heart of pike place market. We had only short before being seated,so we sat at the bar for a glass of wine and just enjoyed the surrondings.When seated the server recommended the mussells pigalle and a another special wine which was her favorite. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the french onion soup and salad with scallops. The main dish that was prepared was roasted duck which was a first for me and I really liked alot. Anyways i would recommend this nice restaurant to anyone looking for a new experience downtown seattle more

Amazing View and Seafood 5/28/2009

Went here for some app's and drinks on a nice day, right below the market and very friendly atmosphere, not huge, so we had to wait a little while to get a table, but very friendly and tasty. Pros: View, Scallops Cons: Good service more

A GEM! 5/23/2009

I discovered this Gem of a bistro tucked deep in the market and it was a terrific discovery. It is truly one of my favorite places to relax and have a late lunch. The staff is absolutely fabulous and along with an intimate dining room overlooking the bay and fantastic menu it all equals a great experience each visit. I highly recommend a visit if you want a unique experience in Seattle. Pros: Great Food, lovely oasis in the Market - 5 Star Service more

Incredible Restaurant, Great service, great food. 10/17/2008

I discovered Place Pigalle about one year ago. This is one of the best restaurants in seattle. The appetizers do just that, but on the soup/salad secion be careful...the bowl of onion soup, while extremely delicious, will leave you full. So if you plan on eating anything else other than maybe an appetizer and desert, avoid it. However if you want it to be your meal, it can be. And a very good one at that. The pork chop, although it changes in serving style, is always delicious, tender, and juicy. Special orders are well accomodated, I went here for prom and my date was a vegitarian. She was still able to request one of the entrees in vegetarian style, and it was delicious. The mussels are one of the best dishes on the menu, and will keep you coming back. The lamb is absolutely delicious, as is the steak, both are prepared with great care, and have accoutremon specially selected for the season, keeping them fresh at all times. The atmosphere is fantastic, great view, ambiance, and with the owners on site, you can tell there is pride in the service and cleanliness of the restaurant. Staff is very helpful, and knowledgable about the wine list, in fact the resident oenophile also is the main wine purchaser at the Columbia Tower Club. The bartenders are entertaining, and drinks are carefully made. They are also very knowledgeable about the establishment, and are wonderful to strike up a conversation with. The owners usually handle any sort of anomoly of service personally, and are very friendly. This is a place where anyone can have a great time, not snooty or pretentious, and the view is to die for. Busy times are some of the best times to dine, and occur on fridays and saturdays. Make sure to make a reservation, but even without one it is still possible to obtain a table. Enjoy this place, (pun intended), you will not be dissappointed. Pros: ambiance, parking, service, FOOD, view. Cons: Cost, but well worth it more

Who brings dogs? 7/21/2008

I'm sorry, but to the person below this review, who brings dogs to a nice restaurant? This place is awesome, and I agree with the waitress. Sorry, but I don't want fleas and dog hair in my meal when I am out on a special occasion! Leave your dogs at home and get real! more

Rude, Pretentious, NOT PET FRIENDLY 7/7/2008

Some of my friends were visiting from out of town and they brought their two small dogs. We stopped here and simply ASKED if we could dine out on the patio with our pets (mean while the dogs were outside.)\r The hostess flipped an attitude and said ""Dog's aren't allowed in restaurants.""\r And when I went to grab a paper menu that happened to be the drink listing she said, ""Oh are you going to take that?""\r My response was, ""Is that a problem?"" Her response was, ""well it's only the drink menu not the dinner menu.""\r She was so rude. Acting as if my fellow pet owners and I should not dare set foot near that place.\r Needless to say we'll never go back even without our pets.\r It looks like, from the other ratings, that if you get a chance to get past the troll guarding the front door it may be a nice restaurant. Maybe they should consider hiring a new hostess.\r \r Pros: There are plenty of restaurants close by once you get rebuked by this one. Cons: Terrible Customer Service more

One Word ""WOW"" 3/21/2008

First off, the service is exceptional. They were very tentative, never let our wine glass empty, checked on us occasionally to see if we needed anything, and we were the last people to leave so they were having their dinner I assumed and they got up just to thank us for coming in. Now let get to the food, we had the escargots and the sauce was so good that we asked for more bread so that we can dipped. The beets salad was fantastic and I wouldn't recommend the sautee seasonal greens (it was just so-so). The seafood in Saffron Tomato broth was awesome, very flavorful. The venison medallions (deer meat) was great if you like that kind of exotic meat but for me it was the taste that needed to be acquired but I love the sauce. The best that night was the Carlton Farms Pork Rib Chop. It was so tender and juicy that it just melted in your mouth. We were too full by the time for desert so will save it for next time. : ) Pros: Service, Food, Ambience Cons: Nothing more

Delectable Food and View! 3/18/2008

What a great little romantic restaurant! It was recommended to me by a friend... I had never seen it before; tucked away behind Rachel the Pig (and the ""fish throwers"") at Pike Place Market. The food is delectable! If you go you MUST try the mussels (the best I've ever had....in a bacony balsamic brew that was out of this world) and the scallops (simmered in a pomegrate sauce that was truly amazing). The beet salad with goat cheese was scrumptious too! We couldn't get a window table (first come first serve) but still had a wonderful view of the sun setting over Puget Sound. The service was great as well- very professional but not too over the top. I'm surprised this restaurant (and chef) isn't more well known in Seattle....I guess it's been there in the market for years. This was truly the best meal (and dining experience) I've had in Seattle in a very long time! Pros: Romantic, outstanding food and service and view more

Don't trust this place for a special occassion 12/13/2007

We recently went to Place Pigalle for my boyfriend's birthday. They didn't deliver on any of their promises, a window table, candle in the dessert, all things I discussed with them on the phone that same day. The waitress was rude when we arrived, our table near the window was taken, and there was an inordinately long wait between the salad and entree (over 30 minutes). This wouldn't have been bad but the temperature in the restaurant was officially freezing, we both froze. The was a staff shift in mid-evening, at the end someone we hadn't seen before took our plates and reluctantly (we had to ask) offered dessert. We chose the Cherry Torte which arrived so cold (sub zero, with no candle) that it had no flavor, and after asking for no dairy (soy for our coffee) the waiter still brought heavy cream to put on the dessert. All in all it was a horrible, freezing, three hour flop that cost waaaay too much ($150 for two, with one glass of wine.) I feel reall ripped off.\r \r I feel like I have to warn friends and family about Place Pigalle - to spare them a similar experience. \r Thanks for listening, hope your dining experiences are bright. Happy holidays!\r xo Pros: Location, view, tasty food, could be romantic if it wasn't freezing Cons: Slow service, rude wait person, freezing temperature, no attention to detail more

One of the best dining experiences ever 10/30/2006

My wife and I have several years of experience working in restaurants, so we tend to be pretty tough critics. We both agree that our dinner at this unassuming little place is one of the best dining experiences either of us have ever had. All of the dishes--sauteed calamari, beet salad, sea scallops, Columbia River Sturgeon, po de creme--were perfectly portioned and prepared. The sauces--a dijon vinaigrette and a grapefruit butter sauce, among others--were unbelievably delicate and exploding with flavor. The prices are a great deal considering the higher prices at most nearby restaurants, the atmosphere is very romantic without trying to be, the service (by our server and the owner) was thorough and expertly paced--I can't say enough good things. Pros: Everything Cons: Can't think of anything more

Sound views, good food, white table cloths, pleasant atmosphere 8/25/2006

We came on a Saturday night after a movie at Pac Place. The place is not obvious, behind the pig in pike place, which is nice. We sat indoors, a four-seater by the windows. The food was good, though the sommelier was a bit peremptory with wine suggestions. I had the red coconut curry seafood bisque. Our friends had the pork mole, cooked medium rare, which was perfect; and a vegeterian dish, also good. For atmosphere (after-hours, easy to overlook place) this place is up there with Chez Shea. For food, it's good. I'd recommend to friends. Pros: despite tourist location, after hours it' more

Lovely bistro with a view 3/25/2006

Lovely, tiny spot that makes us feel like we're in Paris, but with a fantastic view! Place Pigalle is a French gem--and definitely more French than a ""seafood"" restaurant. It's a small menu but inventive. I think their best offerings are in the appetizers- every one is beautifully prepared, creative, and delicious. Fairly light too- petite portions (just like in France!). Wine list was good but more weighted to WA and Cal vintages rather than French. I'd definitely recommend reservations. It's wonderful and romantic, definitely a bit expensive, but worth it for a special occasion or a romantic evening out. Especially during the summer! Pros: French food, Appetizers, Romantic Cons: Need reservations more
