Bar Pigalle, located at 2915 John R Street in the heart of Brush Park, Detroit, offers a New-American, French-inspired dining experience combined with a creative selection of playful cocktails and an exceptional wine list. Led by award-winning mixologist Travis Fourmont and Chef Norman Valenti, Bar Pigalle is nestled within The Carlton Lofts, a historic building designed by renowned American architect Louis Kamper.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Norman Valenti

From the OpenTable editors: Part of a new wave of French restaurants in Detroit and named a best new restaurant by Eater, this Brush Park destination is the place to be for stellar cocktails and wine. That's because award-winning drinks pro Travis Fourmant leads the team and has created a lineup that includes a Corsican Negroni and a Parisian Painkiller. Pair it with American Wagyu steak frites, mussels, and more in a chic space with turquoise banquettes, hanging plants, and exposed brick.

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Bar Pigalle! Our server was attentive and kind, and our dinner (steak frites for both of us)and dessert (creme brulee and chocolat) were all fantastic. Thank you, Bar Pigalle!

This meal was a wonderful splurge! We indicated through OpenTable that it was our anniversary, and our attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable server offered us some bubbles to celebrate. Every course of our tasting menu was delicious, as were the perfectly briny oysters. I did think that the music was a bit loud, but not to a degree that warranted comment. Would DEFINITELY recommend. Oh, and we went on a Monday night, an evening in Detroit when many restaurants are not open.

Ambience: Beautiful/Exceptional (except the music choice; every other word in one particular song was “f—k, f—k, f—k”, I would expect a restaurant of this caliber to have a better selection of music) Service/drinks:Excellent Food: Unfortunately, the food was subpar and that is being polite. My husband’s steak had too much fat on it, especially for how much it cost, and the risotto, an unusual saffron flavor was just that, unusual. I had about 4 bites and left it. We had an appetizer that was equally disappointing. I’ve had several friends who said the “food isn’t what it used to be” and “they had better menus in the past.” I would go back to have drinks at the bar but unless they change their menu, food is not an option at this point.
