A Joburg institution for over 30 years, Pigalle is the city's definitive upscale seafood and Portuguese restaurant, known for its theatrical tableside service and impeccable whole fish and shellfish. The lobster thermidor and line fish are consistently excellent, and the wine cellar is one of the best in the city. Prices are high and the dress code is smart, so come prepared.
