It was fun sitting at the counter and watching the chefs make their mostly amazing dishes. The albacore entree was disappointing, the fish was perfect but it floated in an absolute sea of a pungent mustard sauce the overwhelmed everything else. The rest of our food was amazing, and honestly pretty reasonably priced for this kind of fancy place. We especially loved the cocktails.
Legitimately unreal. Pictured are the Foie Gras dumplings that forever changed my life. Followed by Ouefs en mayonnaise, and lastly was a fry bread with apricots and burrata (seasonal). Not pictured was a steam burger that i had to try and was very simply delicious. Service is also top tier.

This place has panache. We enjoyed one of those rare meals where everything from flavors to service were fabulous. Each dish lit up our taste buds and faces with delighted nods of approval.
Canard hits that perfect Portland balance of inventive deliciousness without the need for pretension. Just right for an enjoyable date night.
- Fois gras dumplings felt like something only this place could have created. Truly singular and sublime. A must-try. - Steam burgers were too good. I think I’ve had dreams about them ever since. - Duck stack was creative and confusing for dinner, but it worked somehow. Worth it for the adventure. - The wine by the glass was on point and the recommendations for pairings were surprising (bubbles with burgers?!), but they served and worked like contestants on Legendary. Finger-snap claps all around.
Thank you canard for a lovely, memorable experience. Will be back. You duck-walked your way into our hearts.
The steam burgers and duck stack were, as advertised, very good, but the standout of the meal was the sweet potato mochi. It was very creative, and the hazelnut furikake was the perfect touch. Great wine list, and our server was excellent.

Scallop Crudo was the best dish we’ve had all year.

Not great.
Compared to Han Oak, Jeju, and other fine dining: this is skimpy and worse.

Canard easily became one of my favorite dining experiences while visiting Portland. From the service, ambiance, and incredible dining options, Canard presented a robust and delectable menu which had me craving for me. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about their dishes and drink pairing options, while providing a comfortable and light-hearted experience. Each dish introduced different flavors that are out of this world. Highly recommended for those who are looking for a culinary adventure while also avoiding the hustle and bustle from the downtown area. Thank you to all the staff for an amazing experience.

The s’mores dessert was life changing & the duck frites was perfectly cooked & seasoned. One of the best gin martinis I ever had!

We had an amazing dinner at Canard. It's been a while since I went last time and it was the first time for my friend and it certainly didn't disappoint! Started with scallop crudo and the pear salad to share and both were amazing. My friend had two steamed buns and we then shared the foie gras dumplings that was out of this world, I can highly recommend them! He then had the Canard that was cooked to perfection and I had the albacore poivre which was the best seared albacore I have had for a while. Finished with soft served. All in all 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can't believe that I have lived in Portland for 3 years and haven't been to Canard. It was awesome. It is now my #1 PDX restaurant. Excellent food, engaged hosts, wonderful vibe. Will return as frequently as possible.
Just great food all! We've been here a few times and everything is great, but today we had the scallops crudo and OMG that was just amazing.. the scallops coupled with the crunch and the watermelon Aguachile is my new favorite and I'm so sad it isn't part of their regular menu.

Fantastic food and good cocktails. The Foie gras dumplings are always amazing, but they had a confit duck dish that was also incredible, as well as the albacore tuna. Definitely recommend.

An exceptional evening from start to finish! Cody is a truly superb server, and the entire night was filled with delicious bite after delicious bite. Gorgeous plates, divine flavors, convivial atmosphere. As special an evening out for our little family as I can remember. Thank you, Canard, for the truly splendid feast.
