Last night Jeremy and I dined at The Duck Restaurant. We had heard of the restaurant before but had never been. Despite the name, The Duck does not usually have duck on the menu. But last night, they put together a special duck extravaganza. Since Jeremy and I are both duck lovers, we had to check it out.
And we were not disappointed. Every dish prominently featured duck. To start with, we had two of Jeremy's favorites: pate and fois gras. They were accompanied by a cool watermelon shooter.
My favorite was the duck leg confit salad. There's really not anything else to say about it except YUM!
One of the more amusing aspects of the dinner was that two of the diners at our table are actually duck-haters and didn't realize the meal was going to be all about duck. Here's our friend Ashok dubiously inspecting his meal in a vain attempt to find something other than duck!
The duck fest included a special wine pairing with each course. The meal was five courses, plus we were welcomed at the door with a glass of sparkling wine. So we were just feeling better and better as the night went on!
Even the dessert featured duck...although thankfully it was in the form of an artistic cocoa drawing next to our chocolate Bavarian cream.
