The duck stack pancake is an experience everyone should have. It's creative, unique and it's a flavor bomb for your mouth. Everything else we've tried is pretty excellent too but the duck stack is what has me coming back all the time. Service is good, they are attentive and helpful. And dont rush you through your meal. read more

Wowza! Such a great experience at Canard in OC. Definitely a fantastic reason for portlanders to come more south! I had so much fun eating here and I feel like the chef is brilliant! Each item has a little unique touch that just WORKS. OEUFS EN MAYONNAISE -Creamy, great differing consistency, and an all around fun bite. The maple offers an unexpected sweetness which compliments the richness of the mayo and egg. The roe isn't very present in a textural way, but add to the overall flavor in my opinion. The little chives surprisingly add a lot of flavor (we love chives!). The little tiny bacon bits are perfect consistency! But for my overly salty taste buds, I think just a scosh bit of seasoning salt at the end would send this over the edge. Overall, a very fun try! SUNRISE STEAMIE The sear on the sausage patty gives a great crunch against the soft bun and cheesy goodness. Happy they went with American cheese, cause that's always the winner. The carmelized onions were so good and added a welcomed sweetness. I feel like the sausage tastes like it was made in house and had great spice! Wish it was just a scosh bigger. THE STEAMIE Good. But felt like it was a little small and the meat inside was reallyyyyy small. Just lots of bun which was still good cause it's a Hawaiian roll. But would probably skip this next time. Esp for the price. GARLIC FRIES Worth it! Crispy, thin, seasoned, cheesy in some bites, and piping hot. Would get every time. Potatoes are my fave food but these fries are good. The ketchup is a star! Tastes like a splash of worschersire and def Tabasco was added. But a perfect merriment. Not overkill at all. Really love this ketchup! Haha. I appreciate making a fry side unique! MAC AND CHEESE Next level creamy. Definitely a shareable portion. Especially because you can only have a couple bites because it's so rich. I am a sucker for onion straws/fried onions and was so excited it was on top. However, didn't add much to the dish to be honest! I took this home and they dated the box for me. That was such a great/thoughtful touch! FRIED TROUT SANDWICH Fun fun fun. Love the presentation. The trout was cooked well, was crispy and a big portion. I was missing something, perhaps may ask for some lemon? Happy I tried it, idk if I would get it again. APPLE COBBLER SUNDAE This was sooooooooooo good. The vanilla ice cream here is perfect in my eyes. The entire dessert wasn't too sweet but also indulgent. The bottom was a butter cake (has my name written all over it), oat streusel, and a cider carmel. This Carmel was insane by itself. Tasted exactly like if Starbucks made their hot apple cider into a Carmel. Next level. I cannot wait to try more desserts. Cute bar esthetic and outdoor patio! read more

These are my most favorite deviled eggs in the city. I love the roe and bacon bits in them. The space is smaller and intimate, and you usually need a reservation. If you can sit at the chefs counter, that's our absolute favorite!! And the steam burgers are an absolute delight. Everything on the menu is delicious, and the staff is so knowledgeable if you'd like drink paring recommendations. read more

I love duck so had to try but wasn't really impressed. We tried a bunch of dishes but none were really memorable. During HH (4-5) they have $2 oysters which is nice tho. The steam burgers are also $4 each and honestly might've been my favorite thing there (a delicious White Castle slider) very savory and makes you just want to shovel another in ur face. The Foie gras dumplings were meh, too much dough and not enough flavor. We wanted to try the duck stack but were too full, but not sure if it's worth another trip for the price for expensive pancakes. But I still like this joint better than Le Pigeon. read more

Celebrated a low key bachelor party here with friends and enjoyed every dish I received. I tried the fresh raw oysters to see if I'd like it and of course I ended up absolutely loving it. The wings were over cooked on the outside and under cooked on the inside and flared up my ibs but I'm sure it was just an off batch. Insanely obsessed with the albacore tuna crudo, the salad and the scallops & Dungeness crab. Because of the rotating menu they are currently not available and I'm so happy I got to try these options while they were. read more

Got The Bum's Rush We got hustled through what was supposed to be a leisurely dinner, early on a Tuesday evening. While assuring us, after insisting on taking our order right away, that we wouldn't be rushed and that they would "course out the food" over time, they dumped our entire dinner order all at once about 15 minutes later. There were many empty tables and bar seats, so what's the hurry? Why rush us along like a fast food joint? During dessert we got the bill (were we finished? was another glass of wine waiting for us? we'll never know because apparently our server needed to move us along). When we left only half the seats were filled. WTF? Will not return. read more

My BF was in Oregon visiting family for his birthday and I wanted to do something special for him. I reached out to Rachel at Canard and she helped me arrange his surprise birthday dinner (I was home in San Diego) . He and his family had the best time and said it was one of the best meals they've ever had! I highly recommend you give them a try. You won't be disappointed! Rachel-thank you so much to you and your team for making it a night he won't ever forget! read more

Atmosphere: Really awesome! One of my favorite parts of the experience. It's a nice place, but it doesn't have a pretentious, stuffy vibe. It also doesn't have a pretentious, hipster vibe. It feels genuinely cool in there. And my girlfriend and I were lucky enough to sit at those seats that overlook the kitchen, so we got to watch the chefs work the whole time. As a food nerd, I would have paid just to see that. Drinks: We got the two fruity mocktails: "calmer than you are" and "heartless rite". Both were awesome. Strong, but balanced flavors. One idea for improvement: those fancy ice cubes where you only have one per glass. I've become a sucker for those. They actually change tmake the experience notably better IMO. Market greens salad: Good. Nothing spectacular though. It was very simple: just lettuce, crunchy quinoa, vinaigrette, and a few carrots and radishes. It was well executed -- well dressed, properly seasoned, quality ingredients -- and I guess I knew what I was getting when we ordered it, but still: from a place as good as Canard I wish the salads were a little more ambitious. Steam burgers: INCREDIBLE. Jesus Christ. It evokes that reaction in me, and I'm Jewish! I definitely need to go back and get more, even if it's just for happy hour. I watched a video where the chef-owner talked about how he wants to evoke a sense of craving. Well, he succeeded. I'm craving them pretty hard right now. They look like cheap little White Castle sliders, but looks can be deceiving. The patties are smashed and extremely well browned. They use this awesome french onion soup mix in the patties. They bake the buns in house. The buns and cheese look so typical and cheap, but they're incredible. I think that's part of the experience actually, how after every bite your tongue continues to prove you eyes wrong, over and over again. They're just so perfect. Foie Gras Dumplings: Also incredible! Wow! Some true, complex flavors going on here. I wish I was knowledgeable enough to explain what's going on here, but alas, I am not. But I'll try a bit. The pasta part was cooked perfectly with a little bit of bite and texture to it but not too much. The foi gras inside didn't have too strong a flavor, I didn't think. It kinda just coated your mouth in a nice way. The broth had this really awesome, strong, deep, umami flavor. Pretty unique. Duck stack: It was good, but not in a knock your socks off type of way. Everything was well executed I thought - the pancakes, the egg, etc. I just thought it needed to hit you with more flavor. The gravy had pretty good flavor, but IMO there wasn't enough of it. Seared foie gras (with duck stack): It was my first time having foie gras so I don't have much to compare it to. I didn't really like it. I dunno. It had a bit of a weird flavor that I'm not sure how to describe. Game-y? My girlfriend loved it though. Scallops and dungeness crab: I'm not a fish person so this one wasn't for me, but my girlfriend absolutely loved this dish. She said it was one of the best things she's ever tasted, and seeing the smile on her face as she ate it, I certainly believe her. Probably my favorite part of the meal. Steak frites: Good, but a little disappointing. The steak was a little vanilla IMO. It wasn't served hot. More like a little warmer than room temperature. I really enjoy a piping hot steak. At the same time, I understand it's not always like that and people enjoy steaks at different temperatures. But this steak was also just lacking in flavor, I thought. Very "clean" tasting. Well, I didn't have the mushroom sauce because I don't like mushrooms. Maybe that explains it. I tasted it briefly and it was pretty strongly flavored, so knowing that, maybe they decided on a more neutral cut of steak. Still, the fries weren't great either. They were crispy, but a lot of the oil and "fried flavor" came through for me and not much else. I prefer more of a potato flavor and then some sort of topping or sauce to cut through the fat. Funfetti pancakes and vanilla soft serve ice cream: I'll combine these two. Each were similar to the salad: good, well executed, but ultimately pretty boring. The funfetti pancakes are just normal pancakes with rainbow sprinkles. The ice cream is also just plain vanilla ice cream. Both were good, although I've also had better pancakes and vanilla ice cream before. I wish they had (a lot) more complexity though. Then again, I did order them and they were described accurately on the menu, so maybe it's on me. Price: All of this ended up costing around $230 I think. Pretty pricey, but we also got a ton of food because we were eager to try things. Going back I'd expect to pay more like $150 for two people, which I think is very reasonable for this quality of food. Overall: As you can tell from the review, I was disappointed by a few items being a little boring. However, other items were incredible. Having a better feel for how to order, I'm definitely eager to return. read more

I don't think I'd ever been more excited to have duck than when I was planning to meet a friend for dinner at Canard. First win - outdoor dining option - woohoo! I ordered the duck stack (how could I not?!) and truffle fries. Everything came out fresh and oh so very delectably delicious. The sweet and savory of the duck stack was perfectly balanced and it was just enough food. The fries were lovely, crispy, and perfectly balanced. It's one of those places that left me with a feeling of longing to return. Take me back! I miss this place! read more

After keeping this spot on my bookmarks for years, i finally got to try it out, mainly for their duck stack!! This place is a nice cozy spot, my friend and I were seated at the counter where we can stare at the kitchen. It's the greatest torture to watch the kitchen preparing each dish and trying to guess whether that dish is ours or not. But it's just nice to watch them prepare each dish as we enjoy the finished product. So we ordered the duck stacks, scallops and caviar, and foie gras dumplings. Unfortunately this was like our last meal in Portland and we have been stuffing ourselves. Their entrees are on the richer end of the spectrum. I loved the flavors but I was already full from the 2 appetizers. The foie gras dumplings were absolutely amazing, but some of my friends have commented on how the added puffed rice looked like maggots. The duck stack was very rich and heavy, best dish of them all, yet I feel so bad to not be able to fully enjoy it. Their menu isnt too big. If you have a party of 4, you can probably try 1 of everything. read more

A keeper. Wonderful service, nice outdoor seating. And the foie gras dumplings were absolutely outstanding. They were very accommodating with the burgers - we had two of them customized so to speak for a toddler that was with us, along with keeping the garlic off the fries. Unusual and wonderful wine , if a little pricey, and extensive spirits list. The desserts were perfect: the Paris Brest and vanilla softserve for our little one were delightful. Nice upscale fusion cuisine. read more

This review is more for the Happy Hour than the full dinner. Small, cozy place that shares some space with a concert venue. The sound check was going on, which made the walls rattle and you could hear some of the music. Not a problem for me, but just be warned if you go at this time. Steam burgers are delicious and a burger variation you don't often see done. Definitely worth the order. We also got some of their $2 oysters. These were Willapa Bay Oysters, which were some of the tiniest oysters I've ever seen. I tend to prefer East Coast Oysters personally and found these to be lacking brine, with more of a mineral flavor. Can't complain about $3 Montucky beer but unfortunately I wasn't drinking this day and didn't get one. read more

Special date night & I'm slowly trying to be a yelp elite in Portland. Was excited to try this place. We booked outdoor seating and it was around the corner of the block with a sectioned area. Each table had its on little fire pit. It was kinda cute & romantic. Our waiter was friendly & helpful. Had a bit of a mishap, but was taken care of. That's what I call great customer service. Now on to the food! Oeufs en mayonnaise : get this! Very interesting dish, but ingredients made it the perfect little bite in your mouth. If this comes out with other dishes, eat this first! 5/5 Lobster & tuna salad: wasn't expecting this with crackers, but it went well & reminded me of my tuna and cracker dish as a kid 4/5. Fois Gras dumplings: mmmmm... is all I can say. 5/5 Duck frites: so we ordered the duck stack, but there was a miscommunication. But the duck was perfect texture and taste. The fries paired well with goat cheese. This could be a bit strong for some though. Luckily it's not spread around. 4/5 Desserts: im a huge dessert person so we ordered two! Funfetti pancakes: so warm and not too sweet. My man loved it. He said it was one of the best pancakes he ever ate. He def loves pancakes. 5/5 Paris Brest: heavennn! Just get it! 5/5 What a divine dinner. Perfect for date night, celebrations, or catching up with friends/ family. read more

For our Portland vacation I tried to get us reservations at Le Pigeon and missed out since they were booked out a while in advance, so I chose their more casual restaurant and was not disappointed! My SO and I both wanted the duck stack so we asked for a suggestion of another entree we could split and settled on the Foie Gras dumplings, the duck stack, and the duck frites. Their wine menu is impressive and I ended up getting two delicious glasses of cab franc to go with my food. The Foie Gras dumplings were decadent and fantastic. The Foie Gras paired with the plum teriyaki and dashi honey were perfect and I was sad when we finished them. The first entree to come out was the duck stack and it definitely an entree that can be split. It's rich and decadent and super filling. The duck frites came with a large pile of fries and a perfectly cooked duck breast. Overall, we had a nice date night and plenty of food to eat! read more

Food were great and customer service was awesome. We went here for my sister's in law birthday with a reservation so we didn't have to wait for a table. Highly recommend you book a reservation a large group of more than 4. Lucky we went in a group of 6 so we got to try so many dishes on the menu. My favorite would be the garlic fries, the fried chicken wings sauce was really good. I also liked the duck stack and the kumquat cremeux was just perfect to end the night. I am not a fan of these type of food like the duck frites (tasted like raw meat am not a fan). But I have to say all the food were really good, I was able to get a try of each dish and I liked it all. I do recommend to come as a group so you can try out a lot of items as they come in tapas shared dishes. read more

Canard is amazing every time it's really not that expensive for what it is and the food is just off the charts.

Foie gras dumplings, oh my sweet little baby Jesus! Those are easily one of the best bites I have ever eaten. Extraordinarily good. Steam burgers, creamed corn (I know but lord it's tasty), Steak frites, and a pluot/cucumber salad. We sat at the chefs counter and it was so fun seeing and then learning a bit from the chefs how things were made. Exceptional service, food and atmosphere. read more

Food: 5 stars Service: 3.5 stars Ambience: 4.5 stars Drinks: 5 stars Value: 3.5 stars Another overdue review here - I LOVED Little Bird (RIP) and have loved all the restaurants from Gabriel Rucker. Canard is no exception! I first came in the before times, when the menu was smaller and it was touted as the much cheaper, hip little sibling of Le Pigeon. Now that Le Pigeon has a tasting menu only, Canard is still cheaper, but overall not by a huge amount depending on what you order. I came with a group of friends, and we shared the nectarine & pistachio salad, the foie gras mousse, the garlic fries, steam burgers, and steak frites. The food was fantastic, especially the foie gras mousse, salad, and steam burgers. I highly recommend coming at happy hour for an early steam burger dinner! The garlic fries were OVERWHELMINGLY garlic-y - to the extent that my group couldn't eat them. If you are worried that one of your acquaintances may be a vampire, ordering them could be a great way to test that hypothesis. The steak frites were very tasty as well (the fries that came with them were delightful and well-seasoned), but not out-of-this-world like the foie gras mousse, salad, and steam burgers. The duck stack is also fabulous - definitely something to get at least once. Our group only got two cocktails, but they were very very good. Will get more next time! Come in and share some plates with a group, your taste buds will be happy! Of note: service was slow here and a little spotty at times. We had to ask for water refills and were late to a sporting event after dinner here (no dessert, few drinks) took over an hour and a half. They were very helpful over the phone when I needed to add an extra person to my reservation, however. It is a small place, so if you're coming in the weekend I would recommend making a reservation (Resy). read more

Canard - Foie Gras Mousse - just order it. - Wine Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Drinks: - Had a glass of the Sierra De Tolono Rioja Rosado Rose. I liked this one, it had a mild sweetness and easy to drink. I usually don't go for Rose but for some reason I was compelled to try this one out and am glad I did. It's very refreshing and was nice to sip on while I waited for my meal Food: - The Duck Stack is a must try. I thought it was such a clever rendition of the beloved chicken and waffles, but more elevated. The sunny side up egg on top was a nice addition. The yolk really added nice richness to the dish. The pancakes didn't feel too dense so I wasn't bloated after eating this dish - The Steak Frites was really good, I liked everything about this dish. The fries had nice structure to them, not soggy but also not overly crispy. The steak had perfect pinkness to them, and the mushrooms were done so well. I don't know what they did to get the mushrooms to have that much umami, they must've doused it in umami extract or something because it has so much flavor to them. This is also a must get, you won't be disappointed in this one - The Curry Hot Wings are also good. I was surprised to learn that the portions are pretty big for the wings. Usually when I get wings as a appetizer they're in small portions but these wings are huge. Everyone at my table got a single wing and it felt like getting two/three in one - The oysters were also very good. I was intrigued to hear that they were served with a mango type sauce with them, but honestly I didn't pick up much of the mango flavor. The oysters were on the smaller end in terms of size, but I think they rotate oysters by the season. If I recall correctly these ones were from Washington state. Though they were on the smaller end, the taste was not lacking by any means - The Oeufs En Mayonnaise was really good as well. There's so many textures with this dish, but it worked well. At first glance I thought the dish was doing a lot with the roe, bacon bits, and syrup (or sauce or whatever was glazed on it) but I ended up really liking it. Loved the chives and the bacon and the bursts of umami from the roe Ambience: - It's a small place, but the high ceiling didn't make me feel claustrophobic - I liked how the bar was arranged with the bottles displaying overhead and the wine glasses hanging under them - The floors and chairs looked worn out, but not in a bad way. It added a nice rustic/old timey vibe which felt more homey - It's a little darker in the space which I liked, and I also liked the lamps hanging from the tall ceiling encased in fish bowl shaped glass Overall: This place felt like a mix between an American bistro and a French café. There's so much charm and it feels intimate due to it being a smaller restaurant. The food is excellent and interesting. I'd recommend this place for a date for sure. I was very happy with the service and quality of the food here. I would love to come back to visit again. The food also came out at a good pace read more

Small little place to get some French food. Everything is kinda like tapas style where it is a small bite and move on kinda way. Food wise really enjoyed the stack and the rabbit larb both dishes were different. Parking not sure since we did the bus since it is easier to travel that way in Portland. Server was nice and attentive they kept checking in on us and refilling our water whenever it got low. Overall get little place I would come back for. read more

So I was so sad to see Little Bird in downtown had closed but then I found out that Le Pigeon had a new sister restaurant right next door. I was also beyond happy to see that they keep most of their seats available for walk-ins, esp since I didn't make a reservation ahead of time. My recommendations - the duck frites and duck stack were both amazing. I thought I would like the stack more but the duck w the frites is perfectly seared crispy and cooked to that just a tiny bit pink level. It was PURE PERFECTION. The duck stack was delicious too - but the duck was ground, and while very flavorful and a great match to the pancake I prefer my duck seared and crispy. We also ordered the radishes w blue cheese (soo good!), the foie gras dumpings, and the baguette. The only thing I would pass on next time is the foie gras dumplings. The FG was only a hint and the thickness of the dumpling and competing flavors were a bit of a miss for me. I would instead just add the foie gras topper to the duck stack. ;) Lovely service (we sat at the bar), ambiance and the pricing is more than fair. Highly recommend! read more

Wow. What an amazing meal. We ordered deviled eggs which were the best deviled eggs I've ever had. Mind blowing. Also got the foie gras dumplings and duck stack with seared foie gras, which were both extremely rich, delicious, and exquisite. We were able to do walk in on Sunday night 8/15/21. 30 min wait and we went over to the bar next door to play pool and bar games. Waiting time well spent and entertained! And we got seated in front of the chefs, which is the best seat of the house in my opinion :) Highly recommend Canard. It's a must! read more

Always get duck stack with seared Foie Gras. I tried most of the appetizers. Rabbit larb hit the spot. Good cocktails and wine selections. The music was slightly loud, so a little bit hard to keep the conversation, and the lighting was dark, so you might want to review the menu before you go in. If you are just two, go to the bar counter. You sometimes had to wait even if you had a reservation but worth the wait. I am hoping that they will bring brunch back...!!! read more

The service was excellent, the food and drinks were solid but not amazing, wow. Not sure we'd come back.

Wow. I had such hopes for this place and never been let down so badly. We only order two things and both were horrendous. We got the dumplings and the duck frites. First the dumplings were overly soft and came out cold, not room temperature or slightly warm but like it's been out sitting for 20 minutes. The duck frites is what took the kicker. For $41 dollars we expect something better. The fries were so salty we used water to wash off the salt. The duck was ok but it was 4 pieces, which if it was one of the best ducks we had would have been fine, and again so salty, but it was average and felt like we got the leftovers from another patron. Salt on the wound, this was a special event for my wife and I and I felt like I let her down with this selection. A fast food place would have hit home more than this. Utter let down. read more

How this restaurant is rated 4.4 on Yelp is beyond me. I've been to plenty of great restaurants in my time and Canard is in my top 3 dining experiences. 5/5 for Food. Every dish was fantastic and perfectly curated. The flavors from the duck pancakes were out of this world and I still think about the egg appetizers. The dessert was also delicious. 5/5 for Drinks. Every cocktail was great, especially for the prices. Not once did I feel like the bartender skimped on serving the alcohol. The shakerados at the end of the night were especially memorable. 10/5 for Service. Our server Sloane was amazing. Truly one of the best waitresses I've ever had the pleasure of being served by. My husband dropped his napkin and in the blink of an eye she was picking it up, telling him to not even think about it, and replacing it immediately. That is the kind of service that you expect at Michelin star restaurants. She additionally gave great pointers on what to order for drinks and food. Honestly not enough good words to say about Sloane. 5/5 for Ambiance. A dimly lit restaurant. Not too loud and not too quiet. It was perfect. My husband and I sat at the bar and were able to watch the food be prepared which was neat. If you don't come to Canard, you're doing yourself a disservice. Come here and be wowed. read more

It's been a long time since an establishment had impressed me this much. From service to the quality of the food and drinks, they did not disappoint. Honestly and truthfully, one of the most surprising and amazing experiences I've had in a long time. Firstly the food. What an experience. We ordered the Oeufs en Mayonnaise, Foie Gras Dumplings, and the Creamed Lobster Mushrooms. I challenge anyone to find better small plates. The stars were the dumplings. I could live on these. On another day, however, the mushrooms could easily be my favorite, they were that close and that amazing. The Oeuf was also amazing, each bite with the shallots and all the fixings was glorious. The cocktails. I ordered the CC De Luxe and my wife had the Thunderbird mocktail. The Luxe was very close to an amazing old fashion but with its own amazing identity. I would absolutely order this again, and again, and again...The Thunderbird, which my wife asked to be virgin as she was driving, was absolutely fantastic. Again, I would order this one repeatedly. The service was spectacular. Friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and provided attentive and amazing service. I honestly have nothing negative to say about any aspect of this experience. I look forward to coming back and spending more time here. I want to try their entire menu. I can't wait to try all of their drinks and food! read more

I like the food if you consider it a casual French bistro with a duck specialty. My favorite is the duck stack which the pancake absorbed all the duck fat and fond and juice. Snap peas and asparagus salad was refreshing but that is something I could get anywhere. I don't like the steam burger and foie gras dumplings. I could barely taste any thing duck related in in steam burger. Foie gras dumplings were way too firm that I thought it is not cooked. Service was okay but slow. I arrived at 9:10 for my 9:15 reservation and it was actually available as a bar seat. However it took some time for the waiter to come. Over the meal, it took about 20 minutes for each dish to arrive and it had a awkward break as each dish took about 10 mins or less to finish. If you were eating here for a date, be sure to prepare more topics to talk as you will need them. read more

I've had great experiences at Le Piegon, and figured Canard couldn't be too far off. I have to say our dinner was overall good, with a couple little oops. We walked in around 6:20pm on a Tuesday and was seated right away. We ordered 4 things from the menu. The Oeufs en Mayonnaise ($12) was super yummy- it was like fancy deviled eggs, with smokey bacon bits and trout roe. Chicken Liver Mousse ($12) was also decadent, and the marionberry paired well with the pate. The Creamed Lobster Mushroom was a no for me. The cornbread was soggy, the honey butter was too much, and the whole thing just didnt work, from the texture to the taste. It was so sweet that it coulda been a dessert. It was $17 which I thought was pricy, and we couldn't finish the dish. Lastly the Duck Stack. I have mixed feelings about this dish. The sweetness and savoriness of this dish was unique, and the tabasco onion gave a hint of spiciness. The duck egg was a bit heavy and hard (like an overcooked chicken egg), and it didn't add any flavor profile to the dish. Visually this dish also wasn't very appetizing. The service was good, the vibe was chill. Overall a nice dining experience. read more

I found Canard on a food blog where the author gave the restaurant outstanding reviews. It was so high on my list of places to visit during my next visit to PDX that I made dinner reservations to Canard a month in advance prior to my trip. I'm pleased to say that Canard did not disappoint! My sister and I had dinner reservations for 5pm on a Sunday. We requested to sit outside. If you're looking for more of an ambience ask to sit inside, which is a lot more elegant, of course. Otherwise you'll find simple chairs and tables placed outside on the sidewalk facing Burnside St., but hey, it didn't take away from my experience. Customer service was great. We had a main server, who was very friendly and attentive. There was another server that checked on us periodically as well. I appreciated how there was no shortage of help. The food was excellent and exceeded my expectations by far. We shared the dish with artichoke and kale and the duck pancake with foie gras. The duck pancakes with foie gras has made my list of the top 5 best things I've ever eaten. Funny thing is that another dish on my list also consists of foie gras. Notice a trend? With that said, do yourself a favor and elevate the dish with foie gras. It's worth the splurge. Aside from the duck pancakes being rich and decadent, I thought I tasted an underlying flavor of plum sauce or hoisin sauce the dish some sweetness. The artichoke and kale was the perfect side to accompany the duck pancakes. The dish was baked with gruyere, and it had a nice cheesy crust on top that gave it a crunchy texture. It surprisingly didn't feel as heavy as the duck pancakes although it was certainly rich in its own way. read more

Canard has been on my list of spots to try ever since I moved up to Portland. The buzz and hype brought me here on a recent night and I was truly blown away. There's clearly popular mainstays on the Canard menu but the chefs do an amazing job of refreshing and highlighting the same dishes but in different ways. The Foie Gras dumplings, for example, were incredible. Served with a beautiful dashi broth and bright pickled kumquat - this flavor filled dumpling was one of the best bites of food I've ever had. It's clear you can't go wrong with much here. The food is high quality and always being innovated. The service attentive and on point. The cocktails seasonal and perfectly balanced. I'm coming back and you should to. read more

I took my husband here for his birthday lunch in late November; we went to the one in Oregon City. I'd made a reservation with the note that it was his birthday, and I hoped they'd do something- anything- to mark the occasion. They didn't and that was disappointing. I guess I was hoping for a note on the table, a free dessert, a candle in the dessert we paid for, something... Regardless, the interior is open & bright with a minimal and modern decor. The tables are set up so you can see what others are eating, which I like. The food was wonderful: oysters on the half shell, crab rangoon dip, fries and a fried trout sandwich- all of which we shared. The cocktails were lovely as well: I had the 877 Gin drink and enjoyed it. Our server was prompt and polite. Nothing wrong, but we were in a festive and fun mood that wasn't matched, by any of the staff. We don't eat fancy a lot, so this was to be a treat and I was hoping for it to feel just a bit more special. I'd like to go back again when it's not a celebration. read more
