A very unique restaurant, here they specialize in foods made with oranges, and the make orange wine, a specialty normally found only in the south... the restaurant is so named because of the two underground newspapers (canards) which were published there during WWII.

If you're looking for traditional French cuisine, you have to spend an evening at Aux Deux Canards. From the aperitif of house-made vin d'orange (excellent!) and the escargots (perfect!), to the maigret de canard (very good) and the chocolate mousse (divine!), the meal was fabulous--and very entertaining. The waiter showed up to present us with the speciality of the house--orange liqueur--in its different stages of fermentation, each of which we were given to smell. He then returned energetically after our aperitif, and, using a pointer whipped dramatically from his breast pocket, proceeded to explain every item on the menu!
