What People Are Saying About Pigalle
The Owner
Pigalle
Owner
Gastronomically, you are in an area where goose and duck dominate, often cooked over wood smoke, where fresh river salmon and trout grace the tables of the open air cafe culture. Dishes from South West France that make use of ingredients which the region has in abundance, such as wild mushrooms, truffles, duck, foie gras, walnuts, chestnuts, hams, cheeses and wines and armagnac. These delicious meals are complemented by a wide range of excellent wines, from the famous Bordeaux reds to the less celebrated wines such as Cotes de Duras from the Lot et Garonne or from the vineyards around Cahors and Gaillac. If all this sounds too good to be missed head to Pigalle and head for dishes such as "Cassoulet" and "Duck Confit".

The Scene
Like its big sister, L'Express, the style is classically Parisian, with antique theater posters, woven cafe chairs and tin ceilings. With snazzy entrances from the street and the Days Inn lobby next door, it attracts tourists and roving New Yorkers alike; both theatergoers and an after-club crowd gravitate to its all-night kitchen.
The Food
Brasserie favorites are prepared by the book: Onion soup gratinee bubbles with a thick layer of Gruyere cheese, and grilled shell steak is served medium-rare, with a side of crisp shoestring potatoes. More inventive entrees, such as the salmon tournedos rolled with scallion slices, are beautifully assembled, but lack seasoning. For a snack, try the warm goat cheese Provencale served with tomato on a lightly sweetened honey crouton, or go for the molten chocolate cake.

Modern interior, clean line, ambient lighting. From presentation to taste, everything i had there was wonderful. I sometimes go there by myself to have a glass of wine and couple appetizers for dinner. Defintely one of my fav. restaurants in the city.

My girlfriend and I had breakfast there after we got ready for the day at the hotel. There was alot of hype surrounding this place. The venue itself was ok. The food was like any other breakfast joint. On the breakfast menu, it says eggs and "fries" when it fact its just cubs of potatoes cooked in onions. Not the best thing to eat in the morning. I ordered sausage and I got two different kinds and shapes. Kinda weird. Our server was awesome though. Other then that, not going back there.

I tend to judge the mettle of a French restaurant by their fois gras. I was very pleased with the offering at Pigalle. I had heard about their breakfast and brunch, but wanted to try something else. Very glad I did. Can't wait to go back now and try more!
