F Pigalle

We don’t know which we liked better, the fondue or the cocktails. We’ll be back again for both.
The offerings on the night we went included 3 choices of main: cheese, steak or shrimp fondues, and chocolate fondue for dessert. The two of us shared a cheese and a chocolate fondue, and both were excellent. The cheese was delicious, with a perfect consistency. It came with cubes of bread, yummy sausage, baby fingerling potatoes and green apple. The chocolate fondue was rich and creamy, with just the right % of chocolate, and came with cubes of Rice Krispies treats and pound cake, and slices of strawberry and banana. We also shared a side of French fries, which came with ketchup and sriracha mayo. The fries were good on their own, better dipped in the mayo, and out of this world when twirled in the cheese.
The dinner fondues come with all-​you-​can drink Chablis or Pinot Noir, served in a baby bottle with the nipple cut wide enough that drinking’s no effort. However, their mixed drinks are original and delicious. We tried two cocktails, one, a violet-​infused gin and champagne cocktail, had a delicate floral taste, and puss-​in-​boots, a punch-​like drink for two served in a large glass shaped like a boot, was strong and refreshing.
The restaurant is perfect for date night, or a fun night out with friends. The ambiance is moody and eclectic, and the playlist is on point. What could be better than to spend the evening playing with your food?

This place is a blast! The atmosphere is fun — both inside and out at the outside bar. The display of adult items in the front really sets the mood. The service was very good, and our every need was met quickly.
I’m a sucker for fondue and here the good is both as good as the melting pot and at a more reasonable price.
The never ending wine served in baby bottles seemed like a good idea at the time, but beware cheap wine. The hangover the next day was the worst of my life. But, it was worth it! Great night with friends.

Such a unique and delicious place! Let the staff order for you and you will be delighted!

F Pigalle? nooo don’t F it well… once you step inside you might be swayed to partake in some naughty behavior. A modern speakeasy themed fondue/​bar located right in the heart of downtown inbetween park on fremont & the retired insert coins. This establishment is sexy, dark, and entertaining.
Interior: There is no sign but a bouncer standing outside of a nameless space. Once he checks your IDs, you walk right into France in the 20s during prohibition. The inside is dark with a glass display to your right when you enter, filled with glass baby bottles and a glass dildo centerpiece. This is locked so don’t you dare get any ideas! Fair amount of seating and a patio in the back that is really nice. Bathrooms are for individual use.
Service: Awesome! Our server was really attentive and brought out all of our things as soon as they came out with updates.
Baby Bottles: The reason behind the bottles are because of prohibition at the time banning alcohol, people had to disguise wine in baby bottles is what was explained to our group. Not sure how normal it is in france for a grown adult to drink out of a baby bottle but okay! Served chilled white wine or room temp red, both very good
AYCD: Per order of a fondue pot you’re given 1 free all you can drink baby bottle with choice of red or white wine. I personally like the white wine a lot more. For the extra person, I think it was $ 12 extra.
Food: The cheese fondue was served with bread, salami, vegetables. Personally the cheese was slightly bitter but the consistency was on point. There is a meat fondue pot where you dip raw meat into a bowl of hot oil to cook. This is really good but not very filling.
Dessert: The dessert fondue is a must MUST! for $ 9 you get a pot of warm chocolate with rice krispy pieces, short bread, strawberries, and bananas. Really nice.
Overall: A really good place to go on an intimate date or with a group of friends just to hang out. Don’t come here expecting to get full because you won’t.

I don’t understand the concept of this place. The night I went there was 4 other guests. It smelled so bad like cat food. I’m not trying to be funny it really smelled like cat food. The display case at the entrance had baby bottles in it and the other one had random medical supplies. Me being a nurse was very confused by the items in this case. They obviously didn’t have a medical person to consult about the items in the case. We didn’t eat but we wanted a drink so we had wine. In a baby bottle. Why what is this supposed to signify the wine tasted like shit very cheap blaaaaahhhh. We didn’t stay and my friend got violently sick. It was also over priced. I won’t be going back and I won’t be telling any to go here either. One star for the wait staff and the security guy he was very nice

First off, it’s a fondue place, but prices are very reasonable. Two of us went there and cost for dinner was $ 24 plus tip.
Full bar but if you order dinner you get free all-​you-​can-​drink wine, served in baby bottles. Glasses are available if you must. Red wine was on the dry side. We both liked it. Didn’t try the white.
Food was very good. Started with pickled veggie plate then split cheese fondue. BTW the menu is posted on the side wall. Fondue was mix of emmental and Gorgonzola I think, and served with bread, salami, potatoes and apples. Quantity was just right for two fifty year old guys trying to lose weight.
Next time I’ll get the seasoned fries — they looked good.
Overall a fun and interesting place. Not your typical overpriced fondue place!

I went to this place with a local who had me intrigued about the idea of wine in baby bottles. This place offers one-​of-​a-​kind experience– if you are open to fun.
Let’s start with the ambiance– Paris’ Red Light District meets San Francisco’s Mission District. The style is certainly creative and a great conversation piece. Though this place is relatively small, they’ve created a balanced atmosphere that is conducive to intimate, engaging, entertaining conversations.
Their menu is pretty simple– the choices being cheese, shrimp, and steak (each with a variety of sides for dipping). Our group got all three fondues plus the must-​have fries. The cheese fondue was heavenly– a perfectly melted Gruyère. And of course who could resist the chocolate fondue.
Let’s talk about the endless wine in baby bottles. Though it left me scratching my head, it was definitely fun and made for a cool experience. And it was actually pretty tasty. We also had the opportunity to try some of their craft cocktails – yum!
As for the service– our server was fun, attentive, and helpful.
There is a surprisingly beautiful patio area in the back that would be lovely on a warmer day.
Overall, this is not your typical fondue experience– and that’s exactly why people go there!

The atmosphere is great. The unlimited red wine by the bottle is fantastic (although posts I saw seemed to indicate it was included in the fondue price and I found out at the end this was not true). Nevertheless the best place I have eaten in Vegas.

I wanted to like F Pigalle — I really did. But there’s only so much décor and atmosphere can achieve. Service and food quality are the most important part of the dining experience, and while service was uneven, the food was just plain «meh.»
I’ll start with what’s good; location, design, mixed use spaces, cocktails, and general playfulness of presentation.
LOCATION: Just off the corner of LVB and Fremont, the location couldn’t be better. The restaurant is located in the heart of the DTLV revival, and the placement takes advantage of the energy in the neighborhood.
DESIGN: This is a dimly lit and sexy space. It feels like a mid-​century French brothel bathed in red light. Black, upturned parasols are mixed with a graffiti wall painted by local artists. There is the requisite white furred bear skin rug, and the service team are dressed in skimpy, revealing outfits.
MIXED USE: The front of the restaurant features a small lounge for waiting guests, dining room, and restrooms (not to mention some vintage porn). Down a long hallway past the bathrooms and service areas you walk outside to a minimalist garden patio featuring a covered bar.
COCKTAILS: Damn good and well executed. Prices are in-​line with other options in the neighborhood, but they also seem larger than versions you find elsewhere in DTLV. The coupe glass alone seemed to be double the volume normally seen, and this is a good thing.
PLAYFULNESS: The staff is casual and fun to be around. The nature of your meal is such that you must interact with your food, your friends, and the staff, which makes the evening spent at Pigalle one of revelry.
But then the food arrives, or sort of arrives. Fondue pots with hot oil are brought out from the kitchen. The staff wrestles the burners to keep the oil warm, but they must be continually lit. In a world where automatic fondue burners exist, why is anyone filling old burners with fuel and manually lighting them? But the worst part is the quality of the food, and the presentation of dipping sauces. The steak is not high quality or tender, and the problem with using tough meat and heat oil for cooking is that the meat comes out as tough as it went in and tasting like cooking oil. The shrimp is a huge improvement, but the cost for a bowl of shrimp is ridiculous. Then there are the dipping sauces, which are decent, but served in the smallest trays possible. This makes them difficult to share, and difficult to keep in the tray.
And finally the service — slow and forgetful. The ladies and gent who helped us were very sweet, but they were so busy swapping out fondue pots and relighting burners that they barely have time to do their job. There is a good service experience somewhere in there, but the team has been handicapped by their table maintenance responsibilities.
I would go back for drinks on the back patio when the weather turns warmer, but with so many other good food options just a short walk from Pigalle’s front door, I will eat elsewhere.

Picture it… America 1994… you are 8. Or so. You are in your parents garage fumbling for your Rugrats bike helmet. There are ghosts of Christmases and anniversaries past all around. Unopened Sharper Image boxes. karaōke machines.fondue sets… it sort of registers, but not really.
Until it’s 2016, you are a full grown adult turned loose on Freemont street with two weeks of pay and not a care in the world.
Here we go. To you it’s a whole new concept and boy oh boy, what is this witchcraft on a fork. People my age are like– is this Melting Pot? Mom…
What makes all of it work is unlimited wine. After a first Instagram/​FB/​Yelp post I don’t think anyone cares if it’s served in a faux baby bottle or in Baccarat crystal. Everyone is having a good time.
Now seriously. The place is a tiny landing strip of a restaurant. Cute patio bar out back.
It’s fondue, so it goes like this. $ 25 gets you steak or shrimp. For beef– you get a platter with a handful of raw beef, pot of piping hot oil (ewe), pickled vegetables, and mayonnaise based sauces (yuck). And bread.
For shrimp– there is a cute ramekin full of oh, medium-​ish shrimp, bubbling hot seasoned water reminiscent of shrimpin’ dippin’ broth and sauces that are pretty much soy sauce cut with wasabi or ginger.
Each comes with unlimited wine. Red or white?
So it’s like this. If there are two if you, get beef and shrimp, but for the love of God, turn away the bubbling pot of oil and mayonnaise sauces. Stick with hot water and soy sauce that comes alongside shrimp. Cook your beef in that, or eat it raw and save yourself death by canola oil and mayo.
Lastly. Drink your wine. Drink your partner’s wine. Check out the bar on the patio. Have fun, you and the wine bottle.
For someone in late 30’s and up– it’s fondue. Tried and passé.
Like Korean BBQ. Or Shabu Shabu. One Hot Pot.
For those vaguely aware of an unopened fondue set circa 1992 in their parents garage it’s a hip, mysterious 5 star experience. Go for it.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!
When you come to Vegas, a city with phenomenal food and drinks Everywhere, how do you choose?
Well, let’s start with ALL YOU CAN DRINK wine served in a baby bottle, then you start to eat the most reasonably priced, and might I add Delicious, fondue with all the fixins.
Easily, the best meal I could have asked for in Vegas!!!

This place was cool! The ambiance is very eclectic! Food was good! I love the concept of drinking unlimited red or white wine in a baby bottle. The reason for the baby bottles was back in the day u got taxed on drinking wine from stemware. So to avoid that they drank out of baby bottles. A little weird but fun none the less. Food was good! It’s a fondue place. Fries were yummy. Be warned, they DO NOT HAVE TO GO CONTAINERS. Be sure to eat it all!

Where to begin… the service was amazing from the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left. Our server Leah was so warm, friendly and attentive. She explained all of the inner workings of the fondue experience and what to expect with each dish. Jessica was wonderful in consistently checking in on us to make sure we were well taken care of.
Now the food… it was f*cking phenomenal. The cheese fondue was hot and melty with cool apple slices, tender potatoes, salami and baguette cubes. The steak fondue comes raw and you cook it in this fantastic broth and then dip it into horseradish, bernaise, chimichurri or a red wine reduction. The shrimp fondue is also raw and cooked in a delicious broth with hot mustard, chimichurri or a chili sauce. Each of the fondues also come with some delicious sides. They recommend you get their fries as a side and I do too as they are out of this world delicious! At then end, even if you are bursting at the seams, you must get the chocolate fondue. You will wonder how you ever lived your life without it.
Endless wine served in baby bottles and craft cocktails are the special final touches that make this meal delicious and enjoyable. The atmosphere and the music are lively and fun.
Run, don’t walk here and try to sit at Leah’s table.

I loved the style and atmosphere of this place. The décor is very unique, the lighting is dark and they had sexy items all over the place. The menu is very short, simple and to the point. The price point is very reasonable and the best part is that the fondue comes with unlimited wine. You can select red or white. They take you back to your childhood by delivering the wine in baby bottles. We ordered the cheese fondue which comes with four different options to deep in (apples, bread, salami and potatoes) the cheese was good but it lacked some flavor. We also ordered the shrimp fondue which came with about 7 large shrimp and another 4 sides. This dish was also good, but not memorable. The chocolate fondue was great. 58% Belgium chocolate with strawberries, bananas and crispy treats. Overall, the food was average, but I think the atmosphere, the unlimited wine and the price points makes this place a great location to visit. I would definitely come back and get more baby bottles.

We just had a great dinner here. The wait staff was fantastic, Alaya and Kevin are very good at their jobs. The menu is small and there were four of us so we ordered the complete menu. The fries were well cooked, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, very well seasoned and came with two good dipping sauces. The shrimp, beef and cheese fondues were all very good. The shrimp were well seasoned and after 45 seconds in the hot broth perfectly cooked. All dipping sauces for the beef and the shrimp had great flavor and all came with different flavor profiles so no matter your palate you will enjoy them. The dessert was good, a rich chocolate fondue with fruit, pound cake and rice crispy treats.
The food was very good, much better than I thought fondue could be and staff was extremely helpful. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. I will be back.

«F» must stand for fun… because it was definitely that!
All you can drink wine out of baby bottles? Let’s goooo! Made famous by Refuge des Fondues in Paris, what was initially awkward and hilarious became spiritedly entertaining as the evening went on. From what vineyard and year was this Bordeaux? There is a time and place for that, but this ain’t it. Raise a toast and suck on a plastic nipple! Psychologists would have a field day in here.
«F» could be for fondue. There’s nothing really to screw up unless you’re blabbing and forget that the meat was left in the pot too long like ummm… me. $ 25 gives you the choice of shrimp, steak or cheese with wine. They also offer a wine only option for $ 12. Great value.
The owners have done a great job with what used to be Radio City Pizza. Its overall Parisian Red Light vibe is like nothing else around Fremont and is totally worth checking out. Staff was very nice and accommodating. We ran out of the cheese fondue before finishing our dippers and they brought out another pot no problem. If you’re lucky, you’ll see one of them pole dance.
«F» might also mean «friggin coming back soon». Because I definitely am.

First you start off with various vegetable pickles: DELISH!
Cheese fondue: Served with bread, apples, salami and potatoes YUMMY!
Next you’re brought a baby bottle of either red or white wine… your choice (& it’s bottomless). I had the white HAVE FUN WITH IT!
Shrimp course: Let the broth simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavor develop before you start cooking your shrimp. My last shrimp was much more delish than my first shrimp OMG!
Steak course: served with a cooking oil to cook. But after a few pieces I started my steak in the broth provided my the shrimp then finished in the oil HEAVEN!
The shrimp was served with 3 different sauces that I can’t remember (thank you baby bottle) and the steak had 4 sauces.
Dessert course: couldn’t do it… wayyayyyyy too full to try NEXT TIME!
Servers were fun and bubbly as well. Great place to eat!

Dinner was an awesome experience. F Pigalle is based on a Parisian Restaurant in the red light district of Paris. The outdoor lounge in the back is great for before dinner cocktails and has a well stocked bar and comfortable seating area. The menu is simple yet tasty, with your choice of cheese, steak or shrimp fondue, and the most amazing fries! Included with your entire is unlimited wine, red or white served in… baby bottles !!! So this sounds a little strange, and at first I was hesitant but it was a really neat experience. This concept was based on the history of the original restaurant in Paris and had something to do with the liquor tax in France. The staff were attentive, knowledgable and gave outstanding service. I would certainly come here again, this time I would try the shrimp fondue and leave room for the chocolate fondue for desert.

Food quality was amazing! Everything tastes so good. The portions filled me up. Fondues come with all you can drink wine. Ambiance was fun, exciting, and different!!! Will definitely come back again

This restaurant is so much FUN! You walk in and are immediately transported to what looks and feels like the red light district in Paris. The music was on point, the servers were extremely friendly and attentive and the food quality couldn’t be any better.
Let’s talk food & wine– First off, as soon as you get seated you’re welcomed with a plate of delicious pickled veggies. We ordered all of the fondue options– shrimp, cheese, steak and dessert for the sake of not holding back. Every side sauce was so deliciously unique and savory. The best part is the all you can drink wine served out of baby bottles. I have to admit, I thought it would be weird but I quickly got over it as everyone else was doing it. Four bottles later, we all felt like we were at a really cool house party (not in Vegas).
Let’s talk atmosphere– I don’t want to give too much away as entering the space is an experience of its own but a cool graffiti wall had me glancing at it several times, always discovering something new. Whoever chose the sexy music playlist and lighting knew what they were doing.
There’s a lack of interactive dining experiences where one feels comfortable in indulging in fantasy and all things so bad but yet so good!
