PiDGiN //

the city is electric right now and we love it. PiDGiN just happens to be the quiet option.

quintessential PiDGiN. a day one dish, now serving day one at oakridge park too

the last course arrives cold, warm, roasted, sweet, and fermented all at once.

magret duck from québec is one of those ingredients that does most of the talking itself.

duck breast / orange jus, miso lentil, pickled pearl onion

salt cured with five spice and air dried before service to tighten the protein and concentrate the flavour. orange jus built with white wine and chicken stock, du puy lentils finished with cashew cream and miso paste, pickled pearl onions with clove and bay leaf.

the last savoury course of the night, and the one you’ll still be thinking about on the way home.

morel season only lasts a few weeks, so we treat it like the occasion it is.

a5 wagyu & duxelle nori cappelletti / morels, sanshozuke butter sauce

nori in the pasta dough, ox tongue and a5 wagyu trim inside, mushroom duxelle folded through the filling. a sanshozuke butter sauce that somehow tastes like aged cheese without any in it. smoked pickled daikon on top

cropthorne farms is doing something special with their root vegetables right now, and this course is built around that.

the first baby gem of spring just came in from cropthorne farms, and it earns its own course.

baby gem lettuce salad / seasonal root vegetables, lime vinaigrette, parmesan

dressed in palm sugar and lime, roasted parsley root alongside, pickled sunchokes for acidity, parmesan shaved over the top. bright, a little rich, a little sharp

the first course at PiDGiN arrives all at once. one to wake you up, one to ground you, one to make you wonder how choux pastry got this good

lime-cured hokkaido scallop sitting in a concentrated curry sofrito, finished with toasted pangrattato for crunch

shio koji beef tartare dressed with frantoia olive oil and sauce gribiche, a classic french preparation that tastes completely different when fermentation makes its mark

every season we ask the same question: what does right now taste like when you cook it through the PiDGiN lens?

spring 2026 answers with shio koji, morels, halibut season, and a bounty of cropthorne farms produce. nine courses where fermentation, technique, and the pacific northwest all end up on the same plate.
