Description: Oh my God, this is my favorite place! I'm not a HUGE duck lover, but I really like fois gras. This is a very small local place, and the owners raise their own ducks in Geneva. The menu is everything duck, and it's GOOD. You know the French eat late, so at 7 or 7:30pm it isn't terribly busy - yet. The menu, of course, is in French, but they do have a couple things in English. This is a place that will give your taste buds a ride.
The fois gras with caramelized onions and toast is not to be missed, and the hot goat cheese in toast is always a winner. I had the cream of mushroom soup with fois gras in it, and it was AMAZING, and I don't like mushrooms, either. I had the duck stewed in red wine, and it just fell off the bone. I swear this is the best thing I have ever eaten. My husband had the duck l'orange, which was sweet and juicy. Neither dish was greasy, as most duck dishes can be.
The desserts sounded wonderful, but we were both too stuffed and satisfied to continue.
I completely recommend La Petit Canard for anyone who likes duck. It was an experience for sure. I will continue to eat here for the rest of my life!
It's off the main streets in the 9th Arrondissement. Pigalle or St Georges is the nearest Métro stop.
