Critics Comments

Place Pigalle is like a treasured gem that is shuffled to the back of the jewelry box. You forget about it until you pull it out, and remember just how much you've always liked it. This cozy space, tucked into a quiet corner in Pike Place Market, was once a dive bar." - Leslie Kelly, Seattle PI "No hype. Great food. No scene. Real scenery. Winsome wine list. Stellar service. Inventive cocktails. Savvy bartender. For all this - and more - Place Pigalle wins my adoration. Stylish yet serene, classy and classic, Bill Frank's hideaway, a French kiss with Northwest flavor, is the bistro that's been around 'forever' and one that deserves to stay around for always." - Nancy Leson, The Seattle Times There is something subtly, sexily confident about Place Pigalle, an intimate energy. The way our server deftly, silently arranged fresh silverware, cleared plates, crumbed the table, and refreshed wine glasses was precisely what respectful service should be. This place knows exactly what it's doing. It has nothing left to prove. "Lingering long after our last drops of wine...I reluctantly left. I walked home slowly, happy and full...It was one of the most deeply romantic evenings I've ever had." - Min Liao, the Stranger DiRoNA Award Recipient since 1997 "...Current but never faddish, this is carefully thought-out cooking frequently infused with delightful surprises...a destination for savvy locals and in-the-know-tourists..." - Tom Sietsema, Seattle Post- Intelligencer "...We've always been crazy about Place Pigalle. And we still are. It's nearly the best food in Seattle..." - A Gourmet's Notebook "...Place Pigalle is one of the restaurants that has made an art of the personally adapted menu. Views are lovely, service is genial, in sum, a fine little restaurant tucked in a corner of our grand market..." - Jonathan Susskind, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
