Another home run for Portland Dining Month 2020, this time from Canard, another one of my top picks from my previous post. Updated March 16: Canard is closed for at least the next 4 weeks in response to COVID-19. They do not take reservations, so I recommend coming in right after happy hour guests are leaving (around 6:15 or so) where I had lots of seats to choose from on my Thursday and evening visit: there was plenty of space of a few chairs between me and others. Canard also has the items from their Portland Dining Month menu listed individually in the menu – you should try calling to see if you can do takeout, as many restaurants are offering that because of the current circumstances. Here’s a look at the options they have for each of the 3 courses for $33 of the Portland Dining Menu.
First course starts off with either Duck confit with Meyer lemon-orange marmalade, sweet pickles and green garlic oil or Roasted cabbage salad with ranch, cheddar, rhubarb and breadcrumbs. Both are excellent choices, with the Duck Confit so rich with meaty balanced by bright Citrus and acidic pickle flavors. Meanwhile the Cabbage salad was perfectly dressed so the ranch is not overwhelming and the rhubarb adds an extra punch.
