While the foie gras didn't quite land for me (likely a reflection of my unsophisticated palate more than the dish itself) it was still an experience I'm glad I had. If one feedback, I had way less sauce on my lamb than my dinner partner and it was really yummy sauce. The service was exceptional. The staff were expert conversationalists who struck the perfect balance of knowledge and warmth and enthusiasm... making it feel completely okay to be excited, curious and new to this kind of dining. The blackberry mousse with ice cream. Crying with joy! It was so extraordinary it sparked conversation among neighboring tables. Every detail felt intentional, even the cutlery. It was exciting and really cool and humbling, all at once. I arrived feeling a little out of my depth and left completely enchanted. For what it's worth, 10 outta10 recommend.

We genuinely enjoy discovering new culinary destinations, from thoughtfully curated interiors and elevated ambiance to the creativity and execution behind each menu. Above all, however, the food is what leaves a lasting impression. Given the experience and investment, we fully expected to leave feeling satisfied. Unfortunately, despite an evening that included a bottle of wine, cocktails, and over $400 tab for two, we both walked away feeling surprisingly underwhelmed and still somewhat hungry. The most memorable part was the dessert. We understand and appreciate the concept of a seasonal tasting menu, but we were under the impression that the progression of courses would ultimately feel more complete. Interestingly, your neighboring restaurant embraces a similar dining philosophy, yet we consistently leave feeling both delighted and fully satisfied. While there were certainly aspects of the experience we enjoyed, the overall meal simply didn't deliver the sense of fulfillment we had anticipated. The service was nothing to brag about.

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.

I'm going to be thinking about those Foie Gras Dumplings for quite a long time…read more All items I tried last night at Canard were creative, flavorful, well presented and reasonably priced. The garlic fries were spicy in the best way, perfectly crisp, and served steaming hot. The Duck Stack (pancakes covered with duck gravy, onions, and a duck egg) sounded a bit odd to me (and probably many others). When I asked the server if it was good, they told me that people travel to the restaurant specifically for that dish. I'm glad I tried it. Again, very unique with a well balanced spice profile paired with the delicious undertones of a hot pancake. I know I would have never thought of that, doesn't sound like it should work, but....it worked! Service was great, atmosphere was a bit loud with a band playing next door, it was a bit overwhelming, plus a random dude walked into the restaurant and a server lit his joint for him as a courtesy(?)...stunk the place up for a few minutes, but as I thought about it, I decided that was about the most "Portland" thing I had seen all week on my trip :) I'll be going back for sure, I would love to taste through that entire menu. Did I mention the Foie Gras Dumplings? I never had anything like them in my life. That's a dish I would definitely travel back to Portland for.

After being greeted and seated by Rose, we received an aperitif wine. Then the first course, Gougere filled with duck liver mousse - fantastic! Then Mini cassoulet, filled with fabulous flavor. Followed by Consommé with chicken quenelle - wonderful! Next was 69 Yolk Tagliatelle with rabbit ragu - unbelievably tender and flavorful. Then Duck breast with butter braised broccoli and celeriac puree. It was delicious, but we were starting to feel very full by then! Dessert was almond cake with homemade ice cream - somehow we squeezed it in! The wine pairings were great! They put a lot of effort into finding really good wines with interesting backstories. George described each course as they served it, and Rose was the perfect hostess. The courses are spread out nicely, so plan to spend 2-3 hours in the very cozy setting. I wish we lived closer to go more often. It's a fabulous meal and great value!

We were genuinely excited and looking forward to a special evening. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short, especially given the price point and strong Yelp rating. The oxtail croquettes arrived cold, which was surprising for a fried item and set a disappointing tone early. The biggest issue was the hamachi crudo. It had a strong fishy smell with clear hints of ammonia and tasted far from fresh, bordering on spoiled. There was a lingering aftertaste that unfortunately affected everyone's palate for the rest of the meal. We sent it back due to quality concerns. My family and I grew up eating liver and mousse from our own family recipes and from many different culinary traditions. The chicken liver mousse here was creamy in texture but lacked depth and subtle sweetness, and tasted overly mineralized. It was the first chicken liver mousse I have ever not finished. The crab beignets were acceptable, though they could have used more crab. The accompanying sauce was well executed. The miso deviled eggs were tasty, and the anchovy add-on worked nicely. The Parisienne gnocchi, at $40, was not memorable and leaned heavily salty. Steak frites were standard, a dish that is generally hard to fumble. Unfortunately drinks. The shift in service after we sent back the hamachi was obviously uncomfortable and noticeable. The energy dramatically changed. There was little interest in engaging with our feedback. For a meal that totaled over $200, we left disappointed and still hungry. Portland offers many stronger dining options at this price point that deliver both quality and hospitality. Disappointing feels like an understatement. I am genuinely puzzled by the high rating based on the food quality and service we experienced. We will not be returning, nor would I recommend it based on this visit.

It's a small spot and things take time because they're made with care. I would come back again, especially for the quiche. Our server was great and the ambiance was so cute.
