Nate was incredible! Attentive, alert, and engaged he made the experience memorable. The food preparation and presentation were fantastic. Only wish we were here longer so we could go again!

One of my absolute favorite restaurants in Seattle. If you didn't know it was there you might walk right past the small hallway to the entrance and not even know it. The service and food quality are both top tier. I try to go at least once per year. It is pricier than most dining options in the city but you absolutely get what you pay for. Compared to many new restaurants popping up that try to charge the same prices the experience at Place Pigalle blows them out of the water in my experience. It is established and very well-run. Sitting on the balcony area on a summer night watching the sun set over Elliott Bay while enjoying the culinary delights is unmatched. It is the perfect place for a very special evening.

We were brought here by a dear friend for lunch on our 31st wedding anniversary. Having never been it was a feast for the senses. The atmosphere was beautiful with views, and great things to see inside as well. We started with some bubbles, and then sampled a number of items from the menu. Each was skillfully prepared and a taste for the senses. I would highly recommend for any occasion, but it is especially suited for a romantic get away. Alex our server went above and beyond to make sure all of us had an experience to remember.

On a spectacularly sunny Saturday we stumbled upon Place Pigalle restaurant! On the verge of becoming mildly overwhelmed by the market’s bustling atmosphere we ducked out to a passageway with views of the sound. Saw the restaurant and decided to check it out. Best move of the day, the hostess greeted us warmly and even though we had no reservation asked us to give her a few moments. The restaurant is on the smaller side with the best views. Although full, noise wasn’t an issue, you could hear French music playing. We were seated at a table in the corner with impressive views of the sounds. Each ordered salads, one white wine and one iced tea. I had the warm beet salad with the dressing on the side, hubs had the Apple endive salad. Salads were perfection. Servicer’s name was Hannah. Witty, professional and attentive. Nice selection of wines. I would highly recommend the iced tea. Unsweetened, crisp with a delightful minty finish!

Such a lovely cozy spot. First off, the cocktails were amazing. The food was so delicious- we thoroughly enjoyed the dozen oysters, bitter greens and duck cassoulet. I had never loved duck so much. But above all our serve Ariana was wonderful and so charming! She knew what to recommend and she let us really enjoy the evening and take our time. She really enhanced the experience. Thank you for a really special evening!!

Incredible date night spot, perhaps the best at the Market. The views of the sound and Seattle waterfront park are amazing, book early for a chance at a window seat. Ambience is great, regardless. Highly recommend the saffron clam chowder, it might have just been the best clam chowder I’ve eaten in the PNW. Beet salad was also very tasty. Our mains were scallops and the venison, both solid options. The mash with the venison was super rich and flavorful. The venison itself could’ve used a touch more seasoning, but there was salt at the table, and I generally prefer my meats on the saltier side. The cocktails and desserts were also fantastic. Can’t wait to come back to try the mussels and duck dishes.

We hosted an intimate family & friends private engagement party at Place Pigalle in April. The food was delicious, the atmosphere and views spectacular, and the service impeccable. We appreciated the owner's care and attention to our wishes before the party and then the restaurant crew knocked it out of the park in every way. Thank you Place Pigalle team for creating a memorable celebration for all time. We'll be back.

Get the mussels!!! It was the best ever, had hands down. This place is a hidden gem. Came across this unassuming place while looking for a spot for dinner. This is a special place. It's small and cozy where they focus on the quality of food. The service was exceptional. Try and get a window table.
