It offers a welcoming, cozy, and intimate atmosphere—perfectly suited to escape the bustling city life, especially during the winter months.
A festive spirit on the plate
For the holiday season, Canard & Champagne is pulling out all the stops. The restaurant is serving up a special dish designed for lovers of genuine flavors and shared moments: the extra-large duck fillet, a beloved classic with a modern twist.
Lightly smoked with thyme and served with woodland-style baby potatoes, this hearty dish embodies the festive spirit: indulgence, comfort, and conviviality. An oversized version created to celebrate Christmas around the table in a warm, festive atmosphere.
