| - My husband and I went here on the second night F. Pigalle was open, and it did not disappoint! First of all, the decor transports you straight to a brothel in the Montmatre district in Paris. I loved the graffiti art all over the walls, including in the bathrooms and the outdoor lounge area. Everywhere you look, you're seeing a new detail.
The food was excellent. We ordered the steak fondue (with the intention of returning to try the cheese fondue next time, of course) and french fries. The waiter gave us instructions on how long to cook the steak in the heated oil they placed on our table. The steak also came with delicious cooked kale and potatoes on the side. It also came with four delicious dipping sauces that I won't be able to do justice by describing them here. You'll just have to go there to try them. They also serve wine in baby bottles. This does not seem weird at all after your second swig of delicious wine. Make sure to ask your server the story behind the bottles.
There also was a full bar of handsome bearded bartenders in the backyard/outdoor lounge area. Okay, I don't exactly remember if they all were bearded, but they certainly were handsome and knowledgeable. Most importantly, they poured excellent, carefully crafted drinks. The hospitality all around (waiter, front of house guy, bartenders) was on par with what you'd find at any world class restaurant.
We really enjoyed this place. I intend to return with friends soon and highly recommend that you do too.
