A Decor Rich with 200 Years of History
Stepping through the doors of Canard & Champagne means entering a Parisian institution. Housed in the former chocolate shop of François Marquis, a purveyor to the royal court, this restaurant is nestled in one of the city’s oldest covered passages, dating back to 1799. Today, the marble counters, vintage display cases, and timeless elegance preserve the charm and history of this illustrious past.
Just a short walk from the Grevin Museum, the Variétés Theatre, and the Grand Rex, this establishment is right in the heart of the vibrant Grands Boulevards district. 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.
Delicately smoked with thyme and served alongside rustic forest-style new potatoes, this hearty dish captures the very spirit of the holidays: indulgence, comfort, and togetherness. An oversized version designed to bring people together around the table in a warm, festive atmosphere.
