 Le Pigeon Restaurant Review: Chef Gabriel Rucker’s tiny storefront bistro takes reservations for the majority of its seating, but the ten bar stools wrapping around the lively open kitchen are always first-come, first-served. It’s not uncommon to see Rucker in conversation with diners as he wields his skillets and saucepans. The menu, which features local, organic and free-range ingredients, changes often, but the rich, tender beef cheek bourguignon is a standard. Menu descriptions are deceptively simple given the results---for example, “sweetbreads, prawns, grits, lobster mushrooms,” or “duck, crêpe, chard, peaches and foie.” There’s also a notable burger and a vegetarian dish available, such as rice pilaf-stuffed pepper with goat cheese, chanterelles and walnuts. Desserts range from foie gras profiteroles to honey-bacon-apricot cornbread. The wine list is appropriately varied to match the innovative fare. |
