The flavors of France are coming to Detroitβs Brush Park. Opening this winter, Bar Pigalle is a new restaurant and bar that plans to offer high-quality French-inspired food and drinks in an approachable atmosphere.
βYou can have a high level of excellence when it comes to drinks and food and not be pretentious. We want it to be inviting to all,β says co-owner and mixologist Travis Fourmont in a press release. βWe want to focus on bringing back that old-school hospitality in an appealing and fun way.βΜύ
Bar Pigalle will serve dishes that nod to French recipes and also draw from Bar Pigalle Chef Mike Conradβs culinary experience. βIβm pulling from the classics but Iβm using everything I have in my toolbox to make it our own,β says Conrad in a press release. The chef most recently helmed the kitchen at now-closed Core City restaurant Magnet. βNothing is off-limits. Weβre going to play around and have fun with it.βΜύ
The cocktail menu, crafted by Fourmont, will feature original creations and rotating seasonal specials. The mixologist, who has made top bartender lists by GQ and Esquire magazines, made a big impact on the local bartending scene when he started creating craft cocktails at downtown Detroit steakhouse Roast in 2008. It was there that he met Joseph Allerton, Bar Pigalleβs general manager and sommelier.
Allerton was named Best Sommelier in ΒιΆΉ·¬ΊΕ Detroitβs Best of Detroit readerβs poll from 2012-2014 for his work at Roast. Guests can expect fine vintage blends as well as classic wines from around the world on the French-forward wine list heβll curate for the eatery.Μύ
The concept for Bar Pigalle was inspired by a trip Fourmont took to Quartier Pigalle, a neighborhood in Paris known for its vibrant nightlife. The bar will be located inside The Carlton Lofts building at 2915 John R St. The historic building, which was designed by architect Louis Kamper, still features original details on its faΓ§ade. The interior will have a β1930s film noir lookβ and be designed by Pink + Wooderson, the firm behind Second Best, Grey Ghost, and Bakehouse 46.Μύ ΜύΜύ
