Le Petit Canard

So good, and in an area of Paris that is more about tourist traps than fine cuisine. Make a reservation and prepare to enjoy so much foie gras

Simply delicious family restaurant ran by a dad and his son. We had fois gras with bread and then duck with mushroom sauce which hit it out of the ballpark! Highly recommend this place if you are a duck lover.

Duck, duck and more Duck. The best I’ve ever had. Prepared every possible way with very fair prices. The foie gras terrine was the finest dish I may ever have had in Paris. The seared duck breast was perfect with ceps mushrooms. Extraordinary in every way. Casual atmosphere in the 9^th. It has now become a must stop for me.

As is written on the wall: «Sex, ducks, and rock ‘n’ roll.»

This is the most cosiest family-​affaired place I ever went to in Paris. The are specialists for gooses, but in a typical french kind like the orange-​sauce.
Very kind couple/​owners who used to touch your shoulders after ordering the menu! So sweet!
Menu was perfect, main meal absolutely fantastic. we had delicious vine and a tres formidable desert!
This may be our fav restaurant when we are in Paris!

Thank you Unilocal for leading me to an amazing dining experience! I was visiting Paris in January and wanted a nice meal to indulge in that was under $ 50 USD. I believe the fixed menu was 37 Euros so I ended up spending about that much.
The red wine that the the server suggested was perfect. Of course the bread was tasty. The first course was escargot with a garlic and butter sauce. I’ve never had escargot before so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I loved the dish. Next up was duck confit cooked in duck fat and served with super good garlic potatoes and green beans. The duck was prepared perfectly and meat melted in my mouth. I savored the whole meal and the experience of dining under heat lamps in January on a street lit with holiday lights. The server paid the right amount of attention to me – not too much like American staff and the dishes came out with the right timing. To end the meal, I had Crème Brûlée and it was perfect as well.
The only thing I was missing was someone to share the fantastic meal with! As others have pointed out, they have an English menu and the servers speak English well.

One of the best meals I’ve had in this city. Authentic French food, farm Grown owned by a family. The staff were friendly to us, seated my us quickly and were happy to have us. Soft egg cream with foie gras was my favorite!!!
Awesome place! Will be back when I visit Paris again!

This place is amazing! Been there twice now in four nights, and want to go back again!
The canard a l’orange is to die for, as is their oeuf cocette. Actually the terrine de canard is awesome as well.
The service is great too, even if your French isn’t up to snuff. Very friendly and attentive.
Seriously, I can’t say enough good things about this place. If you’re anywhere near Paris, go! (But make a reservation!)

Did some Unilocaling upon arriving in Paris, and found this spot with some decent reviews. The restaurant is very tiny and has that family-​owned feeling all over. You wont catch many tourists here. It can be very romantic and intimate yet perfect for a group of friends.
Given the name of the restaurant being canard, you will mainly find duck here. We started with the escargot which was awesome, of course. How can you not eat escargot everywhere while in France? I ordered the duck tartare with potatoes, mushrooms, and green beans. The portion was large and tasted very fresh. There was an English menu and the waitress spoke English as well. We ordered a bottle of wine and spent around 25 euros per person.
If you want duck, definitely check it out!

Pour être honnête, j’ai hésité entre 3 et 4 étoiles mais je pense que sincèrement le Petit Canard mérite plus que je lui en attribue 4.
Le cadre est très simple avec une décoration à thème mais assez discrète, le personnel est aimable, serviable, ils né s’imposent pas. On vous laisse le temps de discuter entre amis, le temps de manger, c’est agréable parfois d’avoir le temps.
La carte est assez fournie et c’est bon, en moyenne 20 euros le plat, 10 euros l’entrée, 8 euros le dessert et 5 euros le verre de vin.
Mon petit bémol serait au niveau du dessert, nous étions quatre et personne n’a trouvé son dessert à la hauteur du plat, j’aurais mieux fait de reprendre une entrée!
Pour résumé, une bonne adresse, gourmande et raisonnable en termes de tarifs!

A humble, little family-​owned restaurant steps away from Pigalle, this place offers a variety of duck dishes as the name implies. It has a casual atmosphere bordering on romantic that is very inviting and makes you feel at home.
The duck comes from a family farm in Haute Savoie and it has a pretty good quality. Wonderful options (loved the gaspacho) and a nice formule to experience the different dishes.
Since it is a smaller space, it is a bit crowded and the prices seem a bit high but ultimately I think it is worth it.

We decided to go to Le Petit Conrad after canceling from another place and was not disappointed!!! We didn’t know what to expect after walking into the small dining room, but the hospitality was great and the food was amazing!!! Everything that we ordered was really good and would recommend it to anybody who wants a great meal in Paris!

This place is a tiny little gem! I don’t eat duck often, and the few times I had it I remember not liking it… but in France it’s just something you need to try. First of all, the name of this place is so adorable. All I picture are tiny ducks… and who doesn’t love ducklings?! Secondly, the atmosphere and the decoration inside was so quirky but edgy. Right up my alley! There were duck trinkets everywhere like rubber duckies and plushies, as well as vinyl from great classic rock bands hanging from the wall. Not sure what they were going for, but I LOVED IT.
My friend and I came here for dinner a weekday evening, and were seated immediately. The restaurant is pretty small but there were only a handful of people, so it wasn’t crazy packed. The waiter was SO nice (and pretty cute ;))! I was intimidated that I would be treated like some dumb American but he was amazingly hospitable and spoke English really well (even though I tried to speak French… he could tell I am not a native lol)!
I ordered the escargots as an appetizer, having never tried it before. It is served with a side of bread. It looks really scary (I am freaked out by snails/​slugs) but I just tried not to make eye contact and ate it… it was SOOOO delicious! It was buttery and garlic-y…went for it too fast and burned myself oops. As my main, I got the duck breast with a sweet fruity glaze… I believe it was apricot. it came with a side of asparagus wrapped in duck jerky and a mashed hazelnut/​chestnut thing (like mashed potatoes). Holy crap I enjoyed this so much! It was just an elegant and perfect meal. Lastly I finished off with crème brûlée because nobody does it better than the French. I felt the same joy as the first time I had crème brûlée in France. So much love!
It was all such a great experience altogether. Such friendly atmosphere, great food, and good service. I was there until pretty late that there was just another group of people there. I’m not sure if it was the owner or what but when I left, actually said goodbye to us (in French of course). It felt so homey! I have a very fond memory of this place. Just come here, you won’t be disappointed.

Best duck in Paris and best duck I have ever had in my life! I came here last minute on my last night in Paris as a way to treat myself and stay close to my hostel before it got too dark. I called 45 minutes before I wanted to come in to secure a table for one and the staff was so friendly and gladly reserved me a table. When I showed up I was pleasantly surprised with amazing, attentive, and warm service (I had not felt this in any other place in Paris) and was even greeted by the owner at the end of the meal who introduced himself and some person stories.
Aside from all of that greatness, the food was unreal. As a single diner, my stomach could only handle an entrée and dessert but I would have kept eating all night if I could have. My entrée was the sliced duck breast with the honey sauce — GET THIS SAUCE, if you do anything, please. I basically licked the plate clean and would pay good money to pour this sauce on everything and have moist bits of this duck periodically inserted into my daily routine. I got the crème brûlée for dessert and was extremely pleased. I wish I had gotten the smaller sampler plate with the crème brûlée cause I like to add fruit or fruit sauces to the crème brûlée and the raspberry sauce looked amazing.
Definitely try this place if you haven’t and are a fan of duck. I can’t wait to return and try more of their dishes!

I have read all the good reviews and decided to give it a go. The food was excellent, the service is good and the place is tiny but charming. There are lots of tourists on Sundays, but I’ve been told it’s also a local fav., just maybe not Sunday.

I had been waiting forever to try this place and it was AMAZING. I was so excited to see cassoulet on the menu that I decided to get it instead of the confit… which I pretty much always eat.
The people that run the place are also great and speak English so don’t worry if you’re just here visiting and don’t know any french.
I’m definitely going back as much as I can!
Side note: When we went (on a Tuesday) the place was completely booked up. So maybe try to make a reservation the day before going!

C’est bon et lourd à la fois. C’est le sud ouest, on né s’étonne pas.
On ressort de là repu et puis on a envie d’un Perrier, ou d’un punch.
De fraîcheur en fait.
Il faudrait une douche froide pour remettre le compteur à zéro, et encore.
Notre duo a passé une bonne nuit, c’est déjà ça.

Excellent accueil, salle rempli d’objets hétéroclites.
Bön conseils. Plats étant essentiellement a base de canard, normal…
Les canards viennent d’un élevage familial.
Le magret était délicieux, cuit juste comme il faut, pas trop rosé, pas trop cuit.
Le dessert, un clafoutis au cerise, très bon

C’est bien! C’est bon! C’est comme à la maison.
Intérieur tout simple mais cuisine soignée comme l’annonce la carte. Attention il faut aimer le canard.

«Did I die and go to heaven?» That’s what I wondered after eating here. And since the menu is everything a duck dish should aspire to be, it’s probably what my duck a l’orange wanted to know, too.
Obviously you need to be a duck fan to eat here. If you are, you’re in for the treat of a lifetime. I found this gem while doing a Unilocal search for «foie gras.» Even though the place had a rating of 4.5 stars, I was still surprised by the experience.
One of the best nights of my life nearly didn’t happen. Since online reservations are unavailable for parties of two and we don’t speak French conversationally, the boyfriend and I made the trek to Le Petit Canard without realizing reservations were necessary. Luckily for us, some couple was 30 minutes late for their reservation. We were sat right away at what would have been their spot, and when they showed up two minutes after us, I didn’t think much of it at the time. (Seriously, who shows up 30 minutes late for a reservation without calling?) Now, I pity that couple because they didn’t get the experience. Don’t get me wrong though. I’d take their table all over again. I just hope they made a follow-​up reservation and arrived promptly. Do yourself a favor though, and make that reservation.
Let’s start at the beginning…
You’re greeted by rubber duckies when you enter. At first it seems a bit silly, but the lack of pretension is actually quite charming. Seating is intimate. The wall art and music selection is all classic rock. Is it French? No. Does that matter? Also no.
To start, we ordered the foie gras trio (picking a favorite is like choosing between your children) with onion/​fig jam and an order of escargot. The foie gras was amazing, but the jam was a real standout, which is insane. Seriously, how can jam rival foie gras?! The snails don’t come in their shells, which is a little disappointing. After all, half the fun of eating escargot is yanking the snails from their shells, but the individual butter baths they were served in really made for great flavor.
We asked our waitress for a wine recommendation, and she suggested the house wine. I normally steer clear of house anything, but her description was a home run. We got a bottle, and it paired perfectly with everything – from appetizers above to desserts below.
The main dishes were, in one word, stellar. Actually let’s make that two words: FLIPPING STELLAR. I got the duck a l’orange, which fell off the bone and was incredibly flavorful. (I want to take a second and admit that I only ordered my duck a l’orange because Blanche does it in that season 1 Golden Girls episode where she dates the younger guy.) The boyfriend got the civet. He mentioned that it was a little salty for his taste (I tried it, and it was perfect for mine), but I consulted him before writing this review, and saltiness aside, he’d also give the place five stars. Overall, as much as I like to eat, these were some of the best dishes I’ve had in my life.
Service was great throughout dinner. That’s all I can say there.
Now for the rub: desserts were just okay. OKAY. We got the crème brûlée and the baba au rhum. The former was tasty but nothing too special, and the latter’s rum content was so strong that it nearly got me drunk on its own. After such an amazing meal, okay desserts are sad. I nearly gave the place four stars instead of five because of this, but the appetizers and main courses demand five. That’s how good it is.
After only one visit, Le Petit Canard is one of my favorite places in the world. If I had only one extra star to throw at an establishment for the duration of my entire Unilocaling career, I’d give it to this place.

First of all to all foreigners: This place is not pretentious. Service is very friendly even if you don’t speak French which is rare in Paris.
I love duck and everything made of it. Le Petit Canard delivers. It was the best meal in a two day stopover.
Fantastic terrine de canard, excellent sliced duck breast with mushroom sauce (will post a photo).
House wine from Languedoc was appropriate.

This little gem was amazing.
Be sure to order the Crème Brûlée at the end :)

Restaurante excelente ótimos pratos garçom/​dono simpático com excelente custo/​benefício e menu em português

Le paradis pour les fans de canard !!! On y a atterrit un peu par hasard et on né l’a pas du tout regretté !
La façade est très banal mais dès l’entrée, on s’y sent bien … Le patron est hyper accueillant et sympathique. Nous n’avions pas de réservation mais il nous a quand même dénicher une petite place.
Choix à la carte ou menu à 37 euros. J’ai opté pour le menu comprenant un apéritif, foie gras en entrée, canard à l’orange ou aiguillettes de canard et dessert au choix.
Le foie gras maison est une vraie tuerie accompagnée ce confiture à la figue, c’est une vraie explosion en bouche !!!
Pour le plat j’ai opté pour les aiguillettes accompagnée d’un fagot de haricot vert, de purée, de champignons et de sauce au choix (j’ai pris les deux: champignons et miel sésame). C’était très bon !!! Les accompagnements étaient parfaits, le canard très bon (bien que je le préfère un peu plus rosé).
En dessert, ce fut le café (décaféiné) gourmand: moelleux au chocolat, crème brûlée et framboises au sirop de savoie. Tout était très bon !!
Ajouter à celà un service rapide et souriant et vous êtes sur de passer une très bonne soirée !!! (mention très spéciale au patron qui nous a offert le vin !!)

We decided to give Le Petit Canard a try since it was a few blocks up from our hotel. From the minute we walked in, it seemed like an authentic French bistro: Small and cozy, relaxed atmosphere, and a great wine list. The one catch is that they only serve duck (which I LOVE!).
There were a number of specials in addition to the menu staples, so the ingredients were all fresh. We had the warm goat cheese appetizer while my wife had the confit and I the aiguillettes (sliced duck breast with mushroom sauce). The presentation was classic French bistro style and the taste was phenomenal. In addition, the service was quite attentive but not obtrusive, which is rare for Paris.
I’d definitely recommend Le Petit Canard but make sure to make a reservation because they fill up fast.

Une bonne qualité de produits et un patron très accueillant: les deux points forts selon moi.
Surtout fréquenté par des touristes, une adresse typiquement franchouillarde. Allez– y plutôt avec vos potes étrangers de passage à Paris qu’avec des parisiens en soif de découverte et d’originalité.

Le canard sous toutes ses formes près de Pigalle
Confit, en magret, à l’orange, en gésiers, en pâté, en aiguillettes, parmentier, en cassoulet, etc. Idéal pour faire découvrir un plat traditionnel français à des amis étrangers après une visite à Montmartre. J’y suis allée avec une amie hollandaise et une française expat’.
La soupe à l’oignon gratinée au fromage est un peu trop épaisse à mon goût. Le cassoulet fait l’humanité: généreux et réconfortant. Le confit de canard est bon et les champignons qui l’accompagnent bien cuisinés mais les pommes de terre pas whaou et la salade acide (j’ai cru qu’elle était industrielle mais l’on m’a certifié que non). Le mi-​cuit au chocolat à la farine de châtaigne est une bombe. Le vin rouge de la maison est très bon. 20 € la bouteille. Entrées entre 10 € et 15 €, plats env. 20 – 25 €, desserts autour de 8 €.
Le patron est très sympa. La Chef cuisine bien. La salle est petite et chargée en bibelots kitch et sympathiques, notamment les petits canards de bain exposés les uns à côté de autres dans la vitrine :)

J’adore le canard et ce restaurant me le rend très bien !
La décoration né paye pas de mine mais peu importe quand on goûte à son assiette. Le canard est proposé sous toutes ses formes, vous avez le choix, et pour y être allée 3 fois, je n’ai jamais été déçue. Il y en a aussi pour toutes les faims: du demi magret au magret entier, en passant par des plats pour les plus petites faims comme l’excellent parmentier de canard ou une salade de gésier.
Les vins à la carte sont aussi très bons (on a eu droit à un bouchonné une fois, il a gentiment été remplacé !).

Une cuisine aux apparences familiales mais innovante (sans être farfelue) et très juste. Allez-​y les yeux fermés.
Petit bémol: les desserts né sont pas leur spécialité mais peut-​on leur en vouloir?

If you are in the Pigalle area, you must visit this restaurant.
Went here my first time in Paris and the food was delicious.
The inside is small but charming and the waitress was kind and took the time to answer all my questions. I have the Duck L/​Orange and my son had the Duck Confit and we could not decide which was better because they were both so amazing.
If you want good food in a friendly, relaxed environment for a fair price, this is the place to go.

Bonne raison de sortir par un froid de canard
Je recommande vivement cet endroit :! Confit de canard, tartare de canard, magret de canard, canard à l’orange… Que ce soit le produit lui-​même ou la préparation, tout est très bon ! Bien que la nourriture soit très bonne, c’est l’aspect convivial et la proximité avec le patron qui m’a le plus séduite. Les seuls reproches que j’ai à faire sont au niveau du prix (un petit peu élevé tout de même) mais cela reste tout de même correcte et la déco qui est un peu surchargé à mon gout.

Une adresse sans chichis qui, d’extérieur né paye pas de mine mais qui cache bien son jeu. Ici, le canard est cuisiné sous toutes ses facettes (rillettes, saucisson, magret, carpaccio, aiguillettes, foie gras et j’en passé — tout est inscrit sur l’ardoise accrochée au mur) et c’est très bon. L’accueil y est très chaleureux et la déco… très (trop ?) portée sur le canard, limite un peu kitsch mais logique, vous me direz. Certains trouveront peut-​être que c’est un peu cher en termes de rapport quantité-​prix, mais la qualité est vraiment au rendez-​vous.

Du canard cuit à merveille
Je suis allé à ce resto pour l’anniv de ma mère, c’est mon oncle qui l’avait trouver par internet et ça l’avait plus. Une très bonne cuisine: –L’ assiette de charcuterie est super bonne et bien varié –La sauce au miel est une pur merveille –Le magret de 350g est juste énorme, cuisson divine et légume excellent –Le confit de canard est très bon –Les aiguillettes sont très bonne aussi –Le canard à l’orange est un petit bijou –Le cassoulet est bien copieux et tellement bon –L’assiette de fromage est bien varié (⁷⁄₈ fromages) et très bonne –Et les desserts bon aussi. Je le conseille vraiment à celui qui aime manger du canard car là il est super bon et cuisiné à merveille. A part le prix, ce resto il faut le tester au moins une fois dans sa vie.

Delicieux…
…dans le canard tout est bon, les plats sont copieux, les produits excellents, le vin accompagne tres bien l’ensemble, le seule hic (en lisant les autres avis je vois que les prix ont augmentés) avec un plat par personne, une bouteille de vin, une entrée pour deux un dessert un café et un thé 45 euros par personne. donc c’est bon mais c’est cher… La deco est quand meme tres bien sympa. Resto à faire en debut de mois quand les caisses sont pleines !!

Super soirée à quatre, où toutes les assiettes sont reparties nettoyées que ce soit le super carpaccio de magret frais, les aiguillettes aux champignons, les oeufs cocottes au foie gras ou la salade vegetarienne (avec des ecrevisses, drôle de conception du vegetarien, peut-​etre que c’est quand il n’y a pas de canard). On a tous pris des desserts fait maison qui ont fini de la même maniere: J’avais pris le baba au rhum qui était excellent. J’ai un peu regretté de né pas avoir pris les pruneaux à l’eau de vie quand je les ai vu dans l’assiette de mon voisin.

Tartare de magret de canard incroyable

Delicieux et convivial !
Nous avons passé une très bonne soirée dans ce sympathique restaurant. Nous nous sommes régalés de magret fumé à l’avocat, d’oeuf en cocotte au foie gras fondu, de manchons de canard confit (deux tailles de plat sont proposés: bien pratique quand on commence à caler un peu); le tout arrosé de vins selectionnés: j’ai savouré le pinot noir de bourgogne. Le tout pour un prix très raisonnable. J’y retournerai !

Une volée de canards s’est posé rue Henry Monnier. Juste le temps qu’il faut pour finir en magret, saucisson, crème, aiguillette ou salade. Tous ces joyeux volatiles proviennent de la ferme familiale, située entre Genève et Thonon. Un cadre rustique mais pas kitch pour une cuisine artisanale mais pas familiale.
Sans être complètement Picsou on s’en tire à bon compte, comptez 15 – 20 euros le plat. Bien sûr, plat de rescousse si vous êtes accompagné de Canardophobe. Sacrilège !

Excellent
Fans de canard ou ceux souhaitant le découvrir: foncez !!! Ce restaurant a une excellente carte et surtout un patron d’enfer vous accueillant chaleureusement.

Une belle découverte
Bonne adresse, avec des plats très appétissants dont les oeufs cocottes au foie gras, la salade canette… La tarte Tatin est un délice !

Amateurs, régalez-​vous !
Très chouette ce petit resto décoré de multitude de canards et de lampions ! Les amateurs de canards seront ravis avec les divers magrets, confits, foies gras ou aiguillettes de canard mais aussi tartare d’aiguillettes (façon steak tartare) ou l’entrée du chef: oeufs cocottes au magret fumé et foie gras, hmmm. Dommage pour les végétariens, je crois bien qu’il né doit y avoir qu’une salade au chèvre pour eux. Pour les autres, allez y, le service est sympa et les prix corrects (36 €/​pers avec apéro, entrée, plat, café et ½ vin). Petit plus: Les toilettes au sous sol avec lecture… sur les canards !
