Message from Place Pigalle

While located in the heart of the historic Pike Place Market, Place Pigalle is often called a hidden gem because of its unique location behind the market (giving it an almost speakeasy vibe). The restaurant specializes in seasonal menus combining local ingredients with a variety of culinary traditions. The resulting dishes always have been artful, always entertaining, always fresh...disarmingly successful. Couple such critical acclaim with a wonderful Elliott Bay and Olympic Mountain view, an award-winning wine list and a bar that specializes in the unusual and you have the reasons for this Pike Place Market restaurant's success. Best of Citysearch winner multiple years for "date spot," "best view," and "best seafood." Whether you dine inside or the summer patio, there is a great view from every table.

Fresh, elegant seafood and a rustic-yet-romantic setting make this one of Pike Place Market's best-kept secrets.

The Story
If this dining room were a movie set, the two strangers would certainly fall madly in love, gazing at the ferries crossing Puget Sound at sunset. Since 1982, diners have stumbled upon this black-and-white tiled, linen-tabled bistro only to discover a taste of romance. Gracefully attentive servers are consistently well-informed about the revolving menu.

The Food
Take the hint as you make your way past the fish-mongers--seafood is your best bet. The day's fresh sheet can be playful: On one evening, reduced balsamic syrup was striped over strawberry-topped ono. Notable starters include terrific mussels steamed in balsamic and bacon; an onion soup laden with Gruyere; and perfectly bitter, wilted greens. Carnivores should choose the tender lamb chops or the hoisin-laced rare duck breast.
