Super tasty, amazing food, great variety in dishes, and perfect portion sizes for sharing! The kitchen found it we were visiting from out of town and gave us the corn dish as a gift. So incredibly kind! So happy to have eaten here on our last night in Canada. Great way to end a trip!
So good! Really delicious food and wine. Very friendly to those avoiding gluten. Sarah was an outstanding server, gave great advice and was a lot of fun.
Wow. Went for dinner with two friends. Great place for sharing. Started with the caviar. Had the beet salad and roasted cabbage salad. Then the 24oz steak. BEST steak I’ve had in a very very long time. Make a reservation. Apparernly the regulars have favourite spots at the bar. We were told that we had two hours before the reservation arrive, They were great about just moving us down a few seats. We were forwarned so was definately not an issue for us
Loved everything we tried (& the eclectic dinnerware!). Service was excellent - server knew food & wine menus well. Only complaint was that the music was too loud & the room was too dark! (4.5/5)
My friend and I decided to try pigeonhole for big taste this year. I'm so glad we did. The ambiance was nice and romantic. Our server was awesome and helped us with excellent choices of food and wine for our meal. The grilled cabbage was the best! I will be back the next time I'm in Calgary.
The decor is very nice, we went there after reading about it a lot in the media. We found the menu to be kind of limited and too specific, the portions are very small too, we only had starters and chose to have a meal somewhere else. But no doubt the quality and taste were great! But the portions are a bit girly... I was there with my boyfriend.
Really cool place. Love the vibe and the look! The food is delicious. The perfect spot to share a couple plates with friends. Good selection of wines and beers. Gotta check it out.
I recently checked out Pigeonhole's shared plate menu for Summer Feast and tried some of their most popular dishes, including the crowd-pleasing charred cabbage with grated mimolette cheese and jalapeno cream. I highly recommend coming here for a large group, double dates, dinner with parents or really with anyone so you can try more dishes!
On Friday evening, L and dropped by Pigeonhole for some wine and cheese. I wasn’t aware that Pigeonhole offers 50% off all bottles of rosé from Monday to Friday, 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm till close. I asked L if he would share a bottle with me. He said that rosé was a bit too feminine for him but he would do it for me.
I have to agree with most of the previous reviews that it is overpriced and I found the quality inconsistent. Half of our dishes were exceptional and the other half were disappointing. I would go again just to get the cauliflower and a cocktail but wouldn't go for a whole meal.
I went here on New Years with a group of six and all the dishes we got were amazing! The kitchen is open so you can see the chefs cooking right in front of you
I tried Pigeonhole for the first time during the 2017 Big Taste. They served items off their regular menu at the same portion size. It was a fantastic deal. The food was fresh with lots of layers of flavours. We shared the lamb tartar and ricotta dumplings to start and both were amazing! For our mains, we shared the Octopus and pork chops, and we enjoyed them as much as our starters. For dessert, we had their aerated cheesecake. It too was tasty. Although I prefer a denser version, I still enjoyed it. Pigeonhole is on the pricier side when it is not the Big Taste, but the food merits the price tag. I highly recommend it.
Came for a bachelorette party dinner and it was perfect! Delicious food and amazing staff. The drinks were a little pricey but the foods are worth it. I haven't had beef tartar for sooo long and I loved it!!! Definity bringing my girl friends here!!
Had an amazing experience here!
The food is a bit pricey, but the flavors are superb and the service was amazing. This is meant to be a shared plate dining experience which is always cool. We started with the scallop appetizer and it was bright and refreshing, lots of flavors going on that contrasted beautifully to the mild scallops. Secondly we had the burrata toast, the pesto on the toast was *amazing*. Finally the sourdough schnitzel with a Dijon hollandaise (it was a little watery but tasted amazing). We also had a bottle of Rosé which was a great pairing with them all.
I highly recommend checking them out! It's a lovely ambiance and a staff member even held the door for me when I wanted to go to the bathroom, so cool
Tried pigeonhole for the first time and was really impressed. Some great veg options. There is also a nice selection of cocktails, wine, and craft beer but the food was definitely the star of the show. Would highly recommend the mushroom croquettes, beets with whipped feta, and the burrata. The crab toast and waygu beef tartare were also excellent. We don't usually get dessert but so glad we did, the Mille Feuille was so delicious- a truly joyful meal everything was so good. The washrooms were also private single and gender neutral.
Came here for a birthday dinner on Friday night. At 915 pm they were surprisingly packed and every table was seated. It was really dark inside so I didn’t get to take too many photos. We started with the beef tartare, foie gras and the buratta. All stunning dishes. The foie gras was my favourite… it was so rich and creamy. For mains, we got the steak frites and the crab melt. Steak was cooked a tad under medium rare but still delicious. The shoestring fries were the star of that dish, just the right amount of crispy and salty. Everything was very flavourful. To finish, we got the chocolate puddin’ and the mille-feuille. These two desserts didn’t really stand out to me. The chocolate puddin’ tasted like peanut butter out of the jar and there wasn’t enough chocolate, so that was kind of a let down. Our server of the night was very nice, but she seemed quite distracted. The service and drink times were a little on the slow side. Overall, we had a very lovely evening.
Had one of the best experiences in yyc at Pigeon hole. First time ever.. From start to finish it was an experience I will never forget. Gabriel our server was on point and recommended drinks and food that complimented each other and even when he was busy other servers supported him. Never once was i without a drink or water topped up. Now the food wow is all I got. Started with caviar which was delicious. Little iffy on the lays chips that came with it but it did compliment followed by the scallop, crab melt, broccolinni, trout and finished off a beautiful mille-feuile dessert. Experience and food was impeccable. Thank you to the Pigeon hole team.
My first time going here with my friends and it was a nice dining experience. We initially wanted to drink some coffee and pair it with some breads or pancakes. We had to ask our waiter for some recommendations and we didn't regret our decision. Our food were very delicious and amazing. Every bite is so good. Their service is good too, very quick and efficient in any way.
We had the most wonderful meal in Pigeonhole! What a night to remember :)
It was exponentially improved by our amazing waiter Justin!
He went above and beyond- took a minute to talk to us, understood exactly what we were looking for and gave us the BEST recommendations for wine and food, perfect pairing too.
He recommended the mushroom sharable, which was THE surprise of the meal- don't skip it! Justin knows what he's talking about :)
Next time we'll go there, I'll make sure its a night Justin is working.
It's always nice to go to a restaurant where the servers remember your face, even though it's been a while since you've been in. Justin is that person at Pigeonhole. Great service. Wonderful food. And expertise at wine pairing that goes on forever. Pigeonhole is always one of our favourite restaurants in Calgary because it's consistently fresh in its approach to food.
