Went for my wife’s birthday dinner. Was a wonderful experience. Far more than just the food. We enjoyed both the food and getting to watch the chefs cook behind the counter. While at $140 a head it’s not cheap we walked away thinking kf was very much worth the price point.

Time and time again, Canard always impresses. This is hands down, my favorite restaurant in PDX. Sit at the chefs counter. These chefs are f***ing artists. My husband and I are always so happy when we go here. Never disappoints.

Elegant, lovely dining experience upstairs, overlooking the ground floor guests. The delectables were beautifully displayed and yummy. The tea selection and service were good. It was a memorable, fun moment spent with my daughter. Great way to end a year and start the new!
