    Great experience at Canard! The service from Miriam was amazing. We had a great time talking to her - it made our visit. Had some very tasty cocktails and delicious oysters (great deal during happy hour). Also had an amazing snap pea and carrot hummus special that was amazing - really unique. Very cool chic vibe

    I really like the food here, it's not Le Pigeon, but the quality of food is excellent. The chicken liver mousse was a stand out and the dumplings are always a hit. Wasn't blown away by the wine selection and the seating is relatively cramped. Still one of the best restaurants in Portland and great service.

    Thai Steak Tartare Tostada
    Aaron K.

    Canard has such a cozy but casual bistro feel, while the staff were all warm and welcoming, including the chefs themselves, whom we had the privilege of engaging with since we sat at the counter, and I absolutely loved the interactions we had with them. Everything we ordered was gorgeous and whimsical in presentation, but of course that would mean little without the flavors to back it all up, which it had in spades. The Thai steak tartare tostadas were incredibly balanced, with brightness and herbaceous notes from the vegetables, herbs, and sauce, great punch from the Thai spices, richness from the tartare, and a nice snap and slight nuttiness from the tapioca crisps cradling everything underneath. The foie gras dumplings were simply divine. I expected them to be rich and dense, but they were like little pillows, with a savory filling and a perfect balance of smoked leek broth, crispy fried leeks, and a caramelized shallot jam that ended up being the surprise star of the dish for me. Then came the main event, the Duck Stack, which I can only describe as a McGriddle on steroids (in the best possible way!). Somehow it all worked beautifully, with the rich duck gravy, fluffy pancakes drenched in syrup, spiced onions, and a fried duck egg tying everything together in perfect harmony. It was one of those dishes that sounds wild on paper but is totally brilliant on the plate and in your mouth. Really fantastic meal from start to finish, and I'm already excited to come back to try more of the menu (and the happy hour!) on a future visit.

    Always a good time revisiting this spot! There's a reason they now have three locations across the state. Their Steak Tartare and Steak Frites are some of the best I've had. Love the modern take on their dishes here. Desserts are always a must as well. The Sundae is always a good option!

    Chicken Liver Mousse

    Canard has been on my to try list and was finally got the motive to go since they participated in Dining Month! Made a reservation, so we were able to be seated quickly. The space itself is smaller and intimate, so bringing a larger group than about 4-5 people might not be ideal. The ambiance definitely gave Italy vibes, for sure. The chicken liver mousse was a good consistency, paired with the figs gave a nice balance between sweet and savory. The steak frites was a classic, steak was a good portion and cooked medium rare, but I'm sure if you wanted it more cooked through, you could make that request. The fries were definitely a standout, great texture and the garlic flavor gave a good contrast to the steak. My favorite dish was the dessert, the flaky crust gave a nice texture to the cream insides. I'm a huge passionfruit fan, so once I saw it was on the menu, I knew I had to try it. It didn't disappoint and I would definitely come back just for this dish alone. Overall a solid experience and would recommend people to try Canard out at least once!

    Ugh, Canard is so good. I say ugh, because the food I want to order is so, so rich and my heart would be better off without it. I finally visited Canard after passing it by for years. We did the Portland Dining Month menu, opting for the tartare, steak frites and the paris Brest. The tartare - hands down, fantastic. I could have made a meal of just that alone. It was served with fried saltines, which were good, but very rich. I would have been very happy with some very plain flat bread crackers instead or just slices of baguette, but who am I to give notes? The second course for me was the steak frites. Mushroom sauce - amazing. The meat, perfectly executed. I love that I was not asked I how like my meat. It just came medium rare (I think?), tender and juicy. This should be the way - I always want the optimal preparation. Dessert, the passionfruit Paris-Brest, was so good. I would come back for this alone. All in all and excellent meal! Service was fantastic. I loved sitting at the kitchen counter and watching the chefs cook and plate the dishes. Definitely get a reservation as the space is small. I'd be back to try more of their menu and to check out their happy hour!

    If you're looking for a cute, vibey date night spot in Portland, Canard is a fun choice. The space is intimate and dark. Here's what we tried: Steam Burger - This one can be skipped. It reminded me a lot of a White Castle burger. Not bad, just not memorable compared to everything else on the menu. Foie Gras Dumpling - Tasty flavor-wise with the sauce, but there was too much dumpling skin and not enough filling. Good, just not a standout. Dungeness crab crepe - Fun and flavorful! It's more like a soft taquito. The sauce was great but not a standout dish. Duck Pancake - Must order!! The pancake was so soft and fluffy -- the perfect vehicle for all the saucy, savory goodness on top. Everything came together beautifully. This was easily the best dish of the night. Duck Frites - The frites were crispy and well-seasoned (can't go wrong there). The duck itself very well-cooked. Ricotta Gnocchi - Such a pleasant surprise! Fried so it was crispy on the outside instead of the usual soft texture. Super satisfying and different in the best way.

    Canard was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday dinner. They really made the night feel special with a little ' Happy Birthday' placard at the table and even surprised me with a birthday dessert! The restaurant is small and intimate, so I'd definitely keep that in mind for larger groups. We had seven people, and that felt like the perfect size. The food came out so fast, and everything was delicious. The sliders are worth ordering - super small savory guys. The pasta and salads were both great too. I did try the tartare, and it was a little too rich for me. What a fun birthday dinner, and I'll definitely be back for the those little burgers. Thanks for making my birthday memorable!

    Came to Canard in Portland to celebrate a birthday and overall had a solid experience with some real highs and a few misses. First off, the ambience is impeccable. The cozy bar area instantly reminded me of a reputable bouchon in Lyon. Very warm, intimate. We started with a dozen oysters, chicken liver mousse with crostini, and steak tartare. The oysters and mousse were enjoyable and well executed. The steak tartare had a nice texture, but the flavor leaned a bit too salty for my taste, like the flavors of the capers were very dominant. The crackers it came with also weren't the best vehicle; we found ourselves reaching for the crostini instead, which worked much better. We also tried the foie gras dumplings with tom kha broth. The flavors were good and well balanced, but the dumpling skin was on the harder side and a bit tough to chew. Really enjoyed the overall flavor, just wish the pasta dough had been more delicate. For mains, we tried the steamed burger, broccoli, duck, and steak frites. The steamed burger tasted like a mix between In-N-Out and White Castle...it's good, but nothing particularly memorable. The broccoli was a standout: loved the creamy miso sauce and the sweetness from the pears mixed in! one of my favorite dishes of the night. The duck was the star of the show ! It was tender, savory, and perfectly cooked. Unfortunately, the steak frites didn't quite hit the mark for me. The steak was fairly chewy, and while the mushroom sauce was good, it was again a bit salty to my liking. I do wish they offered more classic sauces like Béarnaise or sauce au poivre. We ended with the soft serve topped with miso caramel and pineapple, which was excellent and a great way to finish the meal. They also have a nice selection of wine and non-alcoholic options. We tried the NA Riesling, and it genuinely smelled like its alcoholic counterparts. Service was accommodating and friendly overall but it did take a while between each course (pacing was a bit off), toward the end of the meal it felt a bit rushed, with frequent prompts to clear plates. All in all, Canard delivers great atmosphere and some standout dishes (especially the duck and broccoli). I'd happily return, just with a more selective ordering strategy next time. 3.5/5

    Went here for date night and it exceeded my expectations. The interior is small but intimate and classy feeling. The servers were all friendly and helpful. All of the food we had was great and portions were just the right size.

    Came here for a birthday dinner with the fam... had a mostly nice time. Service was a bit slow, but it was hopping in there so it was okay. Toward the end of the night, the adjacent nightclub began thumping, and it was so loud and distracting that we actually skipped dessert and left. Kinda a tough problem, not Canard's fault but definitely Canard's issue. Would maybe return earlier in the evening and try it again!

    Steak Frites

    Super service and great food to top it off! Canard delivers all the way- a must visit while in Portland. Going in I knew I was in for a treat, but the impeccable service is what made this place a worthwhile visit. We ordered a variety of fares and my best recommendation of them all is the Dungeness Crab Crepe. The steak frites was cooked to perfection and the foie gras dumplings is a must try. Canard is a solid choice

    Canard was participating in this month's Portland Dining Monthly. I'm glad we participated. The food Canard was both interesting and delicious. We especially enjoyed the chicken fried trout. Service was fast, friendly and efficient.

    Ask the Community - Canard

    Do they have beer on tap or is it all cans?

    What type of mustard is served in the steam burgers? Yellow, brown, Dijon, etc.?

    The same type you'd get at a White Castle. Just priced 4x more.

    Vaccination required to eat?

    No, but you might need it after eating there. Plenty of better options in PDX.

    Do you offer vegan options?

    What is the dress code?

    I dressed casually (lululemon leggings and a hoodie), and it was totally fine.

    Is dining during COVID outdoors?

    Both in and out

    How hard is it to get a table for 7 at 9pm? Like what is the wait time estimate based on size of the restaurant and seating arrangements?

    We have two larger tables that we can squeeze 7 folks at! At 9 pm we tend to be slower than any other point in the evening, although volume varies by day of the week. On a Monday, I wouldn’t predict any wait. On a Saturday, I would say a min of 30… 

    When is happy hour?

    Canard will have two happy hours, from 4 to 5 p.m. and again from 10 p.m. to midnight. During that time, expect half-off oysters and $5 aperitifs.

    Does Canard have AC? Robust AC?

    Yes they have air conditioning

    Wine was subaverage and service was worse. Server was borderline rude, not helpful at all…read moreespecially when the wine descriptions are very vague for non- expert wine enthusiasts.

    Charming wine bar on NW Raleigh right off NW 23rd. The stone exterior is adorned with greenery and…read morepurple party lights with lots of bistro tables and chairs for nice weather. Inside is dark and cozy, perfect for a rainy afternoon or evening. My only complaint is there is a lot of wood and all the hard surfaces don't reflect noise so it's sometimes challenging to hear. They have a wonderful assortment of wines and not all local. For me, that's a good thing. Yes I love a Willamette Valley Pinot or a Washington Cabernet, but I get a lot of those when I'm visiting these areas, which I do frequently. At Muse you can enjoy a red from France, Spain, Italy, as well as local. Lots of whites and some bubbles, too. You can do a tasting of three half glass pours of your choice, or order a glass. Some nights they have tastings that they have preselected. Last night, based on Alex's recommendation, after telling him my preferences, I had the 2021 Crozes-Hermitage from Paris. It was a bigger red, but so smooth. Next I went with the Rioja Gran Reserva which was more fruit forward. Another winner. Their cheese and jam plates are fabulous, the cheese especially delicious, and pair perfectly with the wines. Have a feeling I'll be back frequently to this charming neighborhood wine since my friend works out next door, so it's a perfect meeting spot.
