Sunday morning at 11am my husband and I got a seat at the bar. It was pretty busy. As usual the fresh croissant was amazing, flakey, and buttery. I had the chefs omelette for the first time. It was exactly as I wanted it and the hash browns were nice and crunchy. My husband had the corned beef hash and it was so flavorful and delicious. I will order that next time. Ambiance is great and service was fast and friendly.

I have been going to this location since the year they opened. Back when they had dinner. Before I…read morecould consume alcohol (I was 20, it's been about 15 years). I was treated crappily by staff who I observed saying my order was not their responsibility. Not everyone there was bad. The initial service I got was good, but my coffee was so poorly slapped together because I spoke up. My sandwich was also slapped together missing ingredients I paid for, so enjoy the extra money I guess. Here's how the interaction went. I was assured my mocha would be ready in a few minutes, before my food, from a really nice staff person who too my to-go order. They instructed me where to stand. I watched the person put together my mocha. All that was needed was ice. My food came out quickly and I took it while waiting for my drink. 15 minutes passed. Two staff members looked at my drink and one said "who put this here " and another person said "I don't know, not my problem". I spoke up and said "hey that's my drink and if you put ice in it, I promise I'll get out of your way" - it was busy and packed. I was trying to be understanding. One of them made a disgusted face at me and said "I was gonna put ice in it!!!" ... wow. Eventually they did. And did it so sloppily that there was mocha all over the drink. The top was put on poorly and the drink spilled all over me. I tried to tell another server who was greeting and seating people but they kept saying "oh it's okay! It's totally fine" - no, it actually isn't. I get it. You don't want my business of 15+ years, but there are nicer ways of conveying that. I was ripped off and treated in a way I don't treat my enemies. But just like my order, that's "not your problem", right?

Good: - courses aren't afraid to explore tart, sour flavors; enjoyed some of the early courses in particular - good mix of different presentation, ingredients, etc. - dessert was very good, a very strong note to end on - seating was comfortable given the cozy space; service was professional Meh: - nearly all courses lacked aromatic component to me; smells were mild and didn't trigger a strong reaction - similarly, seasoning for the mains were a little underdone to me, had to rely on sauces to get a notable flavor out of the meat - vegetables felt second class relative to the protein - pacing was a smidge on the slow side Overall I am grateful for the experience but don't expect to come back on my next Portland trip

The service was incredible and I think they stayed open for longer because the conversation my table was having was so dialed in, we didn't realize the time that flew by. The staff were so kind and thoughtful. The butter dish is a pleasant surprise, the escargot was a little saltier than I anticipated but reminded me my summer trip in Paris last year. The steak dish was mouth watering and the salmon was solid but not the best I've ever had. I'd rate this as a solid restaurant, especially if you miss France (I did). I would give this 4.6 stars rounding to 5. It's not my top 20 restaurants of all time, but definitely top in Oregon. PS: the creme brulee was very fun, get it!!

The space itself is smaller and intimate, so bringing a larger group than about 4-5 people might not be ideal. The ambiance definitely gave Italy vibes, for sure. The chicken liver mousse was a good consistency, paired with the figs gave a nice balance between sweet and savory. The steak frites was a classic, steak was a good portion and cooked medium rare, but I'm sure if you wanted it more cooked through, you could make that request. The fries were definitely a standout, great texture and the garlic flavor gave a good contrast to the steak. My favorite dish was the dessert, the flaky crust gave a nice texture to the cream insides. I'm a huge passionfruit fan, so once I saw it was on the menu, I knew I had to try it. It didn't disappoint and I would definitely come back just for this dish alone. Overall a solid experience and would recommend people to try Canard out at least once!

After being greeted and seated by Rose, we received an aperitif wine. Then the first course, Gougere filled with duck liver mousse - fantastic! Then Mini cassoulet, filled with fabulous flavor. Followed by Consommé with chicken quenelle - wonderful! Next was 69 Yolk Tagliatelle with rabbit ragu - unbelievably tender and flavorful. Then Duck breast with butter braised broccoli and celeriac puree. It was delicious, but we were starting to feel very full by then! Dessert was almond cake with homemade ice cream - somehow we squeezed it in! The wine pairings were great! They put a lot of effort into finding really good wines with interesting backstories. George described each course as they served it, and Rose was the perfect hostess. The courses are spread out nicely, so plan to spend 2-3 hours in the very cozy setting. I wish we lived closer to go more often. It's a fabulous meal and great value!

We were genuinely excited and looking forward to a special evening. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short, especially given the price point and strong Yelp rating. The oxtail croquettes arrived cold, which was surprising for a fried item and set a disappointing tone early. The biggest issue was the hamachi crudo. It had a strong fishy smell with clear hints of ammonia and tasted far from fresh, bordering on spoiled. There was a lingering aftertaste that unfortunately affected everyone's palate for the rest of the meal. We sent it back due to quality concerns. My family and I grew up eating liver and mousse from our own family recipes and from many different culinary traditions. The chicken liver mousse here was creamy in texture but lacked depth and subtle sweetness, and tasted overly mineralized. It was the first chicken liver mousse I have ever not finished. The crab beignets were acceptable, though they could have used more crab. The accompanying sauce was well executed. The miso deviled eggs were tasty, and the anchovy add-on worked nicely. The Parisienne gnocchi, at $40, was not memorable and leaned heavily salty. Steak frites were standard, a dish that is generally hard to fumble. Unfortunately drinks. The shift in service after we sent back the hamachi was obviously uncomfortable and noticeable. The energy dramatically changed. There was little interest in engaging with our feedback. For a meal that totaled over $200, we left disappointed and still hungry. Portland offers many stronger dining options at this price point that deliver both quality and hospitality. Disappointing feels like an understatement. I am genuinely puzzled by the high rating based on the food quality and service we experienced. We will not be returning, nor would I recommend it based on this visit.

It's a small spot and things take time because they're made with care. I would come back again, especially for the quiche. Our server was great and the ambiance was so cute.

The day before the reservation, they texted me to say their chef has decided he no longer does vegan, and we'd need to cancel. We'd been here before, and to De Noche, and enjoyed both. That's why we booked it again. We're vegan. That's the entire ask. This is a kitchen that already builds plates around masa, beans, squash, salsas, mushrooms, and seasonal vegetables. The PSU farmers market runs Saturday mornings, three miles away. The idea that a working chef can't put together a few courses without animal products is hard to take seriously. The more honest read is that he didn't want to. A restaurant is allowed to change direction. Letting a guest find out 24 hours before a birthday dinner on a holiday weekend is not. Now I'm scrambling to find a birthday dinner alternative at the last minute going into a holiday weekend. Used to recommend this group's restaurants to friends. Done with that.
