Mmmmmm. Another great Portland restaurant..... Le Pigeon

YUM! I was finally able to try Le Pigeon, a new(er) Portland restaurant on E Burnside and 7th that has been very well received by Portlanders and food critics alike. This small new restaurant has already been written up by New York Times food editors, and was packed to the brim even on a Monday night at 10pm - for good reason.

It's SO GOOD!

I enjoyed a foie gras appetizer which was finished with some cherries and a sweet cherry sauce, and then had a main course of Beef Cheek Bourguignon. This is food that makes you take a deep breath and sit back in your chair. Also, the space is pretty fun. Seating is communal, so you'll share your table with other Portlanders and visitors. The kitchen is open to the dining area, and if you sit at the bar, you'll get to see the chefs in action. Take a trip, I promise you'll be glad you did. (Take me with you!! :) )
