Pigeonhole
Menu
We were going for YYC experience but we couldn’t participate because 1 out of the 3 of us wanted something from the regular menu. We were just told it was all at the table or none???
Would like to know the reason and we’re disappointed because that was the reason we went to pigeonhole.
Tried it as part of the YYC Restaurant event. Appetizers were incredible (esp the wagyu beef tartare), mains were okay (pork belly was fine, fish was over done) desserts were amazing. (Madeleines and a chocolate torte).
Would love to go back to try other menu items!
The food was amazing! We had the set menu which included everything, instead of having to choose! Only counter seating, right under a vent which wasn’t the best. But the server was really nice and and the food was awesome! Can’t wait to go again!
Dining at The Pigeonhole is always a wonderful experience for my husband and I. The food is outstanding-of perfect proportion, and consistently delicious. The restaurant is gorgeously decorated and the service is prompt and timely.
brunch was great. playing The Miseducation of Lauren Hill all morning was a sweet touch.
Awesome food and service.
Seated almost immediately.
Food came out quickly
Ambiance was great
My baja Rosa drink was amazing
Their chicken and sauce was very flavourful
I liked the ambiance and to be able to look out onto the street while eating a meal by candlelight
My fiancé and I were celebrating BOTH our birthdays. I left a note about this when making our reservation but it wasn’t acknowledged at all during our visit which was a bit disappointing. In the past, when I’ve celebrated a special occasion at other restaurants, it has typically been acknowledged in some way (either just verbally, or sometimes we’ve even been surprised with a complementary dessert). Otherwise, compliments to the chef! This was our first time visiting and the food was amazing!
The breakfast menu for the YYC Food and Drink EXP has 6 different items and shared all courses with my friend to rave reviews! The food offerings were done to perfection showcasing why it is one of Calgary’s top brunch places! Service was spectacular with a team of attentive of servers!
Great food and great service. Highly recommend!!!
Every dish was delicious, particularly the Arctic’s Char Larb, the cauliflower and the shrimp/pork popcorn...would highly recommend!!
Great atmosphere, delicious food and impeccable service. Can’t wait to go again
We love Pigeonhole, the food is always great and the service is elevated!
Amazing pancakes a must try! Great atmosphere didn’t feel rushed we sat chatting over brunch for almost two hours. Love this place! The decor, the food and the atmosphere are perfect for brunch
Delicious food! Interesting take on traditional dishes. I have been here a couple of times and enjoyed both times.
We were out as part of the YYC Food and Drink Experience. This was the first time any of us had been to Pigeonhole. The food, served family style, consisted of two appetizers - a wagyu beef tartare and organic beets on a bed of ricotta - followed by three main course dishes - roasted pork belly, sunchoke falafel, and glazed cod. We added an order of charred cabbage and ricotta dumplings to round out the meal. The food was well prepared with great flavours. The cabbage and dumplings were a particular hit with our group. Dessert consisted of a chocolate tart with creme fraiche and warm madeleines with dulce de leche dipping sauce. Fabulous way to end the meal. Our server was excellent providing us with answers to questions about the meal, keeping our drinks topped up and offering a bit of history about the building/restaurant. All in all a convivial experience with thanks to the staff at Pigeonhole.
We made a reservation but got counter seating which is the one looking out the window to the funeral home ... the chairs were extreme uncomfortable so I had to request a cushion (they didn’t have any) but our server got us a couple of table cloths to put on the chair. I appreciated her effort.
The food was average. My friend and I didnt enjoy the fish dish, and I found the pork belly quite chewy.
Cocktails were ok. I am not sure I would want to come back.
I absolutely love the food and service in this restaurant. It’s always a great experience :)
The food was good but the service was exceptionally slow. Was disappointed in the length of time it took to place our orders and receive any food.
Great brunch with friends this morning. We all had different breakfast menu items and agreed all were excellent!
Server wasn't overly great but wasn't a reason to not go again. She was just kind of scatter brained and didn't know the drink menu. The food was good except the Manitoba Walley which didn't have much taste beyond the fish. I also found it quite a bit more expensive then ten foot Henry. $60 more expensive for 4 adults. Overall though good alternative when ten foot is booked solid.
Great service. I was with a group of 6 amd had a taste of alot on the menu. Top three: the steak, the ricotta, and the cabbage. So tastey! Our server Justin was brilliant, full of knowledge and knew his way around the menu. Great experience!
Excellent experience...group of 6 let the waiter order for us Just kept bringing dishes until we were full. Great way to experience the menu
Great food! Great service! BEST BRUNCH EVERRRRR. The scrambled eggs with green onion and ham are the best I’ve ever had, and the soufflé pancakes are to die for!
Absolutely love this place. Great spot to spend time with friend, enjoying the taste of tapas, having conversation. Service is exquisite.
Great time, great service and atmosphere
Had an amazing brunch this morning Carley gave excellence service!
Food was AMAZING! Our table was quite close to the people next to us, but it ended up being fine.
Showed up to our reso about 3 minutes before 5pm. The doors were still locked and the staff stood there talking and staring at us in the freezing cold snow. After waiting for what seemed like awhile, we had to go back to our car to warm up because the door was not unlocked. If I’m spending $250+ , it is discouraging to start a meal like that.
The food was truly exceptional. And so was the service.
We had such a wonderful dining experience with MacKenzie as our waiter. I have eaten at the Pigeon hole for dinner but had not realized it was open for breakfast. The food was to die for, we enjoyed the soft scrambled eggs with mushrooms, the special pancakes and croque madam. I can’t recommend this place more for brunch, it’s delicious. We will be back.
My colleague and I went for a few plates and wine. Our server was amazing and very knowledgeable.. food was terrific and unique!!
food was good as always, service was meh... not welcoming or very attentive.
Always delicious food here! The tomato and kale Benny is to die for. The service is always on par.
My new go to for a unique brunch that's delicious and different than a more 'diner' styled brunch you could get anywhere. I like that the portions aren't too big, so that you can share and get a taste of a few things but not be over stuffed. Also, you can never go wrong with $5 mimosas! I'm a Concorde employee but this review is not biased! You guys kill it every time!
Our server was amazing! We had some severe allergies among us and he was absolutely brilliant at keeping it all straight. Great wine list and great food! We will definitely go back!
Amazing food and wonderful service.!!! Will be back!!
Tonight’s dinner was divine! So flavourful, bright, fresh, interesting and delicious. Timing was perfect too. Our server, lily was wonderful.. and thank you for the surprise dish! The warm madeleines with gooey dulce de leche took us over the top! Never disappoints ~ can’t wait to come back!
This was our first visit to this restaurant and we will certainly be back. Food was delicious with various flavours and ingredients and served family style for sharing and trying multiple dishes. There was added whimsy in the multiple different eclectic china plates we were eating from. Would like to recommend to the restaurant however to review their music offerings in that the tracks were not volume matched (some were extremely loud), but overall took away from our experience and being able to converse with one another.
Very food service. Food came out fast so we could make hockey game easy.
We sat at the bar and found the bar staff to be very friendly. The food was very good. The cheddar gougeres were delicious! The shrimp popcorn, tagliatelle and madeleines were also very good. Only thing I’d suggest would be better wine by the glass options.
