What people say, in short
Le Pigeon is repeatedly recommended for a more elaborate French dinner, including by people choosing a meal for visitors. One diner praises the tasting menu, and another found the food worth the cost. Other experiences were mixed: one visitor enjoyed the food but left hungry, while another found a meal merely good and would choose Canard instead. A commenter also names it as a possible date-night choice.
