Le Pigeon’s next-door sister has its own groove, a neo diner inspired by France, gonzo party snacks, and wherever the kitchen wants to roam. Wild à la carte concepts turn up regularly. Hamachi tartare with banana, caviar, and lime leaf, anyone? Or how about a beef tongue and Gruyère quesadilla, its interior crunchy with Funyuns? Dunk it in French onion dip to double the pleasure. But some things never change: the vaunted White Castle–esque steam burgers, duck-fat grilled hotcakes, towering soft-serve parfaits, an A-level wine list, and confident cocktails. The family-friendly Oregon City location mixes “little duck” dishes with Canard staples. Who else serves chicken tenders and foie gras dumplings in French onion soup?
