    Duck Confit White Bean Cassoulet

    I had to eat here after seeing the photos on Yelp. Looked like people either loved it or hated it from the reviews, but it looked like our kind of restaurant! I think for some people this is a little too pricey, but coming from San Diego, we see prices like this all the time. We thought it was totally worth it! We arrived just minutes after they opened around 4:00, after hiking all day. Seemed like a good time to go, we were the only ones there for a while, so of course we got great service! Not everything we saw online was on the menu, so they must have seasonal offerings, which is a sign of a really good restaurant! We started with the french onion soup. My husband kept saying it was the best French onion soup he's ever had! It was delicious! My husband ordered the beef bourguignon and I ordered the duck confit white bean cassoulet. I was between three things and the server said the cassoulet was their most popular dish. It was AMAZING!! I was hesitant with the idea of sausage in it, but it went so well with the white beans! You get three very distinct flavors with the three cuts of meat in the cassoulet. The duck was so good! The ham had a sweet maple flavor, and the sausage was more savory. All three paired SO WELL with the beans! We cleaned my plate completely and saved half of my husband's beef bourguignon. His was also very good, but the cassoulet was the star of the show! I also liked the somewhat rustic space, which didn't make us feel too underdressed or out of place in our hiking clothes. The bathrooms were also very nice and clean!

    Food and service were great. Even though I did not expect much I was very pleasantly surprised. Must try!

    Really amazing food. We had the mushroom and shrimp risotto, creamy pesto pasta, rigatoni with meat sauce, and bruschetta. My daughter is celiac (gluten free) and had no issues with the risotto. Top notch. Will be back.

    The rave reviews don't lie! We stopped here to carb up with some pasta before our Grand Canyon Rim to Rim hike, and it did not disappoint. My friends and I ordered a variety of dishes, and every single one was excellent--we cleaned our plates! The interior design is well thought out, with warm, inviting decor that adds to the ambiance. The food quality was outstanding. This hidden gem is a must-visit if you're in the area!

    Chef's Special Dessert - Apple Tart
    Michael G.

    Tonight's dinner was a highlight of our week thus far in Utah. Within the brochure of our house rental was a description of the Chef and that if you wanted he would come to your house to cook for your family or give a lesson. We tried to do this, but Chef said he did not do this anymore due to being short staffed at his restaurant for some time. We did the next best thing by coming to his restaurant in Kanab. We got to sit in the four bar seats which directly face the kitchen. Only one other family was in the restaurant at the time we came in at opening. Staff advised they have been busy on weekends and later evenings. For starters, we got the last two French onion soups, a chard salad, escargot, and a cheese plate. The soups were perfect. So tasty with the bead and melted cheese. I would have been fine with a few of those. My wife wished she got one if they had more to sell. The salad had a nice vinaigrette and two bacon strips along with candied fig (?). My kid loved the escargot. The cheese plate came tonight with a Brie, truffle, and a Parmesan. There was also a sweet mango salsa served with it. This was also excellent although not everyone liked all the choices. I did. For mains, I went with a medium rare ribeye which came with fries. A cream sauce was served with the steak which was a nice addition to the perfectly cooked and seasoned steak. My kid had the gnocchi. Pillowy soft with an outstanding cream base pesto. Wife had a Bolognese and it was one of the best she's had with a great blended flavor and lots of meat. My son had pork tagine which was like a peasant stew. He said it was very sweet and chowed it down. Dessert for me was three nice scoops of sorbet - pineapple (ok), blueberry (wow), and mint (OMG). My wife and son had the crème brûlée. It was fun to watch the chef flame them up and now my wife wants another kitchen gadget. My daughter had the Chef's special apple tart which came with some ice cream. It's the only thing I got a picture of but it also went quickly. Service was very friendly and attentive. Sitting and watching the food be prepared is always fun for me. I can imagine how it'd be with a full bustling restaurant. Highly recommended. $261 for four not including a generous tip.

    Kanab having a French restaurant!!!! Wow!!! Ok before continuing to read- read some reviews and complaining of expensive food and servers are rude. Remember it's French food- tend to be expensive. And during this time- finding extra staff is hard on restaurants. My friends and friends that I refer to go to this place totally enjoyed our food. If you want cheap- go to the burger joint near McDonald. Our server was overwhelmed but with service as they were busy. We were able to seat outdoors. Both servers got all our orders correct. Filled out drinks when asked. The braised short rib stew was flavorful and cooked perfectly. My wife and friend enjoyed their two different risotto. Cooked perfectly. My son demolished his gnocchi and he has an expensive palate. Make sure you make desserts- salted caramel tart and creme brûlée were delicious. Ok the peach Danish was the only thing disappointing. Again, surprise to see a good French restaurant in Kanab.

    Stopped by for dinner for our last day in Kanab and was a little disappointed. FOOD: Shrimp Risotto ($36) - The quality and quantity of the shrimp and cook was great. However the rice and sweet peas were a bit undercooked and the overall dish was incredibly salty. Brochette de Canard ($36) - I believe this translates to Duck Skewers. The cook on the duck was perfect. It was hard to cut the duck with the knife provided but the duck was tender enough to be able to bite through it. However, the rest of the dish was also so salty. Not sure if it was the polenta or sauce but it was overwhelming. Crème Brûlée ($10) - All dessert options were $10. I highly recommend this dish! It was so creamy and not too sweet. The cream on the side and the tartness of the blueberries balanced out really well with the dish. SERVICE: The hostess was a bit rude. We were seating and she got short with us for not taking out the silverware in the cups fast enough to pour our water. Thankfully, our server was extremely friendly and accommodating. I wish I could remember her name but she was so nice recommending our dessert and was extremely attentive considering she was the only server for ~10 tables. Overall, I don't think I'd come back to this place due to dishes being overpriced and too salty. However, I would come back for their desserts if they sell them for takeout.

    Duck confit
    Fernando A.

    Wow, chapeau to the chefs for this fantastic meal! This may be in the top meals that I've had. My duck confit was just excellent. Soft, crispy, delicious, on top of a salad with a little touch of endives for bitterness and apple and grapes for sweetness. The whole package was just tasty. I also had a bite of my wife's scallops, and that too was amazing. A surprising, briney flavor and some little pieces of potato dumplings that soaked up the flavors. I forgot to mention our escargot appetizer. It's hard not to like garlic and butter, but the perfect way to start a french meal. To top it off, the servers and hostess were hustling and working hard. They were short staffed, due to covid, but doing an excellent job. If you are traveling through Kanab, this is definitely a great place.

    Nice place to dine as they have outdoor seating. Service was really good despite being short staffed, the starters were served fast, then followed by the main courses on a good time to where your stomach and taste buds are satisfied. Their menu has changed so took a pic on their most recent menu. Started with calamari with dijonaise sauce. Delish. Crispy too as it comes with tentacles!!! Then the charred octopus Mediterranean. Served with 3 good size tentacles, wish it was 4. Main courses: duck confit waldorf. The meat wasn't dry and the skin was crispy. It was so good. I don't ever eat spinach at all but whatever dressing they put, I ate all of them. Then wifey had the chicken and tarragon fricassee This was so good as the chiken had a hint of crispiness. It had a hint of curry taste. At first the serving didn't look it was big enough in relation to price but at the end of the night, we were full and satisfied. Ended the night with crème brulee. Definitely worth a visit for a good dinner date.

While ordering at the counter, I needed to make a quick adjustment after getting confused about one of the items. During that moment, a 'white' gentleman was waiting behind me, and instead of simply acknowledging him with "I'll be with you shortly," the lady staff apologized to him for my delay in ordering (according to her). Shortly after, while I was still in the middle of ordering and asking about tea options, she abruptly moved on to take his order without any explanation or communication. The interaction felt dismissive and uncomfortable as well I felt strong I am treated with racism, especially in the condition when I was pregnant who crave all good food.... As for the food, most of it was enjoyable. The scrambled eggs on the croissant and the pancakes were well done. However, the onion soup was overly salty, likely due to the cheese which was in the soup and also on the bread. Another downside, especially as first-time visitors, was the lack of guidance. We weren't informed that water was self-serve, and only realized it after noticing another guest getting it themselves. Interestingly, when leaving, we saw staff pouring water for newly seated guests, which added to the inconsistency. Overall, the food showed effort from the kitchen, but the service experience was disappointing. The 2-star rating is mainly in appreciation of the quality of the dishes. Cafe is quite small and we felt hot, as there's only a portable AC that couldn't accommodate that size of room. Not recommended place, even this is one of the rarest cafe in town. Rather to spend money to somewhere worthy and respect you as guest, no matter what roots you have.

The crapes are not made fresh anymore, I don't know when they started this horrible practice of making a huge gross pile of premade crapes ahead of time, not fresh off the griddle, and I refused to participate any longer, you do that and I'm done. This, I've discerned, is why sometimes when you go in the meal is five stars, and other times it's one star. They don't make your crapes fresh. Everyone knows the difference between a fresh hot off the griddle pancake, and one that's been premade in some gross hotel breakfast warmer. Well, that's why their crapes are sometimes amazing and sometimes truly disappointing. (They don't even bother putting them in the warmer,) You can peek into the kitchen and see the big pile of gross cold dry crapes piles up. No, no, nope! Done. I've even started asking at the front counter if I can get a fresh made one and not one off the pile of premade dry cold flat gross crapes, and both times I've asked, they've told me no, they can't make me a fresh one, I have to get mine off of the cold dried out dead stack. So, there you have it. You've lost me as a regular customer, I'm not coming back--I'm done until you reply to this message, confirm that's no longer the horrible practice, and invite me back. Once that happens, I'll go back, see if you serve me a fresh off the griddle crapes, without asking, so I can remove this post. Bye!

Not many peaches either which were the best part! Very fresh and sweet. I'm not sure I'd go back again especially seeing other reviews. Other places have larger portions and better quality for the same price.

When we checked in, Ali (she was not wearing a name tag so I'm unsure about the name spelling. I found out her name from another staff) immediately told us, dismissively and with visible annoyance, that we did not have a reservation. I showed her the confirmation on my phone, but she refused to accept it and said that because it wasn't on her computer, there was "nothing she could do." I was traveling with 3 small children, staying at the lodge, and this was the only dinner option in the park. I asked Ali to please check again, and instead of helping, she loudly yelled at me to step aside so she could assist other guests. What made the situation even more upsetting was that she proceeded to help the white families behind us without issue, while continuing to dismiss and raise her voice at me. When I approached again, she again told me, very loudly and publicly, to step aside and repeated that there was nothing she could do. I was being treated as if I had done something wrong despite having a valid dinner reservation. I then asked to speak to a manager. Ali responded, "I am the manager!!" When I asked if there was another manager I could speak to, she refused multiple times before finally saying she would check. When I asked for the other manager's name ("What is their name?), she began yelling--actually yelling in my face --"HE IS A HE, NOT A THEY! HIS NAME IS SEAN!" This was screamed at me in front of other guests and was completely inappropriate and aggressive. She stormed off and a few minutes later Sean came to assist us. I explained what had just happened. He apologized and attributed her behavior to her "having a rough day" and the restaurant being busy. He then turned the reservation screen toward me to show that my reservation supposedly wasn't there, but I immediately spotted my reservation and pointed it out. He appeared confused and suggested it might have been a "computer glitch" or that the reservation had been deleted. (I wonder who could've deleted my reservation from the computer....) We were eventually seated, but only after being yelled at, dismissed, and humiliated. I considered letting this go, but I just can't. This was the only negative experience on an otherwise wonderful family trip to Zion, and it was significant. No one should be treated this way. Regardless of how busy a restaurant is, there is absolutely no excuse for this level of hostility, nor for speaking to guests in such a demeaning and aggressive manner. Management needs to be aware: someone who treats customers this way should not be in a customer-facing role, let alone acting as a manager. I sincerely hope steps are taken to ensure no other family has to go through what we experienced.
