Read full reviewService was fabulous - and the food incredible at that! The Asian calamari starter was superb and the duck spring roll was tasty - the hoisin sauce less so (i.e. it was too sharp tasting for our palettes, but this is not to say it would not be thoroughly enjoyed by others). The prawn mains was TRULY FINGER-LICKING good, but disappointingly the lamb rump was not anything to write home about ... we found the cuts to be way too thick, not adequately cooked per request and also tasteless somehow (?). The chocolate brownies were plentiful in serving size (i.e. 3 were served but they were soooo soooo very sweet that 1 would have been "too much") and the coconut panna cotta was a medley of flavours (perhaps too much so). Pigalle was always my favourite restaurant to go to (i.e. my annual birthday treat). The poshness of the experience of it was always so appreciated; with the recent extension of the restaurant, however, the ambience is still lovely - and so well-supported by excellent staff service - but just not so "posh" anymore. Not sure it would be my first choice of go-to restaurant in future - possibly (?). That said, the overall experience was thoroughly enjoyed by all - and with portion sizes more than filling, we were all "stuffed" by the evening's end! For the price, food quality, service excellence and cosy atmosphere (it was a magically warm Spring evening - BEAUTIFUL for us!) I would definitely recommend a visit.
Great
We were a group of 5 who enjoyed a Sunday lunch together. All dishes were delicious as well as the presentation being that of fine dining. We loved the experience and hope to be back.
Asian calamari starter was great, however, the duck spring rolls need more flavour. The lamb rumb main was tasty and satisfying. The main was the best tasting course. Desserts were quite nice with the panna cotta being surprisingly refreshing.
