Pirogue Grille is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it – but you should be looking. It is one of the best restaurants in Bismarck, with an interesting and ever-changing menu, offering new cuisine in total to satisfy a healthy appetite.
Grille Pirogue is one of Bismarck’s newest non-chain restaurants, opening just a short while ago in the downtown area. Located at 121 No. 4th Street, it is sandwiched between a jewelry store and a men’s clothing store, and its rather modest exterior is pleasing. gives little indication of the interior. But the word pours forth from person to person. If you want a really beautiful dinner, an evening to remember for a long time, go to the Grill.
With the word “Pirogue” in the title, I, like many others, am ready to think Cajun food offering, spicy and all blackened. But that is not the case at all. The opening, which he made during the Lewis and Clark bicentennial, is referred to as a single boat named “Pirogue”. If you happen to read anything about their journey, you will read about the pirate who raised them so well. Pirogue Grille offers food from a variety of different cuisines, fresh ingredients, appropriate spices, and some of the foods Lewis and Clark were able to taste and have something for all but the pickiest of eaters.
Pirogue Grille serves dinner only, and is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 10 a.m., and on Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. at 11 a.m. When you enter the door from the street, you enter a calm and quiet place, with subdued light, and are greeted by a friendly hostess, who will take your coat and hang it up for you. It is a comfortable place to sit if you need to wait for a table or wait at the market. until the end of the dining room. The living room is made of brick walls, thick carpets, and a fireplace on the wall next to the door. There are shops and restaurants from small to large brands. There is also a secretarial dining room, called the Travel Room (see Lewis and Clark again) for meetings; for private parties, or for any special occasion.
One of the things that sets Pirogue Grille apart from many other restaurants is the quiet atmosphere. It is not like being in a church or a library; they are more comfortable at lunch and enjoy their conversations. But there’s no loud radio or blast-in music, nothing to detract or distract from the dining experience. The restaurant is designed not only to delight the palate, but also the eyes and ears. The goal is for patrons to enjoy a great meal in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, to linger over coffee or drinks and conversations, and to feel a little disappointed when it is time to go out and go home, and in this they succeed remarkably well.

Entrees include fish, fowl and red meat, and include Reggiano-Parmigiano Crusted Walleye, Grilled Kurobata Pork Chop (pork equivalent Kobe beef), or Sauteed bison dressed with Bordelaise Sauce. Most beef dishes are made with North Dakota beef; Bison and game are also obtained locally. The walleye came from Minnesota, but the King Salmon flew in from Alaska. All entrees come with “starch” and fresh seasonal vegetables. The “starch” could be potato, but it’s just as likely a barley ball, couscous, or cornmeal polenta. Prices range from $7 to $10 for appetizers, soups and salads, and from $18 to $25 for entrees.

The restaurant also has a full drink menu, along with signature drinks such as the Pirogue Martini. The table will be read to you by your server because it changes on an almost daily basis. One thing to count is the variety in flavors and textures of desserts, and that they will all be excellent.
The last time I ate there, I had a cup of wild rice, while my partner chose a salad with crab meat and an Asian-slaved dressing. Antecenium was harnessed pork in wine feathers, with steamed barley pilaf and pumpkin pies; My partner had the lamb stew over cornmeal “musham”, it had no separate vegetables like vegetables in the soup. he had snare and tonic for dinner; I had a glass of lovely Chardonnay. For the table we had an amazingly delicious chocolate without a stain with rust coulis and white chocolate ganache, and coffee. I had decan coffee, and it was as fresh and aromatic as regular coffee, which seems rare to find these days. We lingered over the coffee and the table, and kept the restaurant full, while the servants were carried around efficiently and gracefully, never overbearing, but always there with water, coffee, or bread, or over wine-glasses on the table which he had ordered a bottle of. All the workers, from the hostess to the busboys, treated us like old friends friends or family, and I rarely feel that way. comfortable or paid in a restaurant. it was like a fossil and more delicate with light, wetting noise, exquisite use and food;
If I could give Pirogue Grille 6 out of 5 stars. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting or visiting the Bismarck area.
