About Duckfat

Duckfat is a hidden gem in Portland that serves exquisite Belgian fries fried in duck fat, creating a rich flavor. Their poutine is a game-changer, with crispy fries, savory gravy, and creamy cheese curds that create a symphony of flavors. The inviting ambiance and friendly staff add to the experience, with top-notch service and mouthwatering food. The made in house creamsicle soda, tomato fennel soup, poutine with duck confit, Turkey panini, and blueberry buttermilk shake were all show stoppers. The root and cherry sodas were surprisingly good, with a balanced flavor. The poutine curds were smooth, and the smaller curds made the dish even better. Duckfat is a culinary delight not to be missed, offering affordable prices and a passionate approach to food and service. Highly recommended for anyone craving the best Belgian fries and poutine in town. The restaurant is small and cozy, with some outdoor seating, but it’s best to call ahead for a reservation as the space is limited. Recent visitors enjoyed the fries, sandwiches, salads, and shakes, and praised the friendly staff who seem to truly enjoy working there. Many left wishing they could return soon, noting that the warm service and savory food make the experience unforgettable.
