Last year, Canard Street, the Lille-based brand dedicated 100% to duck, set up shop in Paris. Behind the brand are Nicolas and Grégoire, for whom duck at family dinners is a childhood memory.
Together, they set out to modernize poultry and open a restaurant dedicated to duck. In 2016, they inaugurated their first address in Lille, followed by Canard Street Béthune and Canard Street Petits Champs, the first establishment in the capital.
On site or to take away, Canard Street offers duck in all its forms, sourced from French producers .
On a deliberately simple menu, you can choose from the spot's 'must-haves': magret burger with chopped steak of duck breast, duck leg confit with parsley a la plancha, duck breast tartar with a knife (French or Thai style), croustillants of duck breast with a heart of cheese? You could almost become a duck!
For us, it's a confit burger, with a highly original duck confit steak, fig confit and goat's cheese; followed by half a duck breast à la plancha, rosé to perfection! On the side, you'll love the salad with its generous chunks of gizzards, as well as the fries, cooked in duck fat, of course!
Canard Street 's appetizers include the all-important foie gras and duck breast sausage, as well as (and above all!) a delicacy rarely seen in restaurants: delicious heart skewers!
If, like us, you love duck and wish there were more restaurants in Paris offering it à la carte, now you know where to go!
What's more, before you leave, you can take a quick trip to the Canard Street showcase-grocery, where you can take away much of what's available à la carte. Coin coin!
Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
