RESTAURANT REVIEW

Signature dishes include foie gras cured like bacon and the “over the top dessert” of profiteroles stuffed with foie gras, so it’s not surprising that Le Pigeon’s motto is “In foie gras we trust.” Reviewers aren’t shy about how they feel about the place: “The most interesting and inventive food in Portland” manages to be “so well-balanced that even the richest dishes don’t seem heavy.” Chef Gabriel Rucker’s partner, Andy Fortgang, previously the beverage director at Craft in NYC, has organized a wine list that has surprisingly good depth for a restaurant of this size.
