FrenchParadox - Canard & Champagne

Very good duck magret and fries but you can do that for less in most bistros. They do the duck well and the setting is in a historic wooden paneled set of rooms in the oldest glass covered gallery in Paris so the atmosphere is quite classic Paris. Can’t go wrong here.

I love the atmosphere here, the food was impeccable and the service so so good, they wished my husband a happy birthday with a candle hehe! The other thing is this place is great value for money. The amount and variety of food. Also WOW the chocolate mousse. Only love for this place!

Food is AMAZING! I started with the fried duck foie gras with apples as entrée, which was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth with a delicate, not overly rich flavor. It came with deliciously cooked apples that complemented it perfectly. For the main, the Duck Confit was the best I've ever had – the skin was perfectly crispy, and the meat was incredibly tender, paired with creamy, smooth mashed potatoes. To finish, the lemon dessert was a refreshing burst of sourness that balanced out the richness of the meal. Highly recommend this place for an unforgettable dining experience in Paris!

I’m the biggest fan of both Duck and Champagne but sadly this place wasn’t amazing. I’ve had better duck many many times - it was seemingly cooked well, but quite chewy and the knife could barely get through it. I looked around and everyone seemed to be giving their knives a workout. Either the pan isn’t hot enough or the quality of duck is low. The staff were working so hard but it definitely felt like they were short. We had to chase the champagne, sat with empty plates for a long time and had to ask for dessert 3 times. I also asked for clean glasses between champagne changes and it was ignored everytime by different staff. All the other food was great - especially the chocolate mousse - just needed a better piece of duck and maybe clearer instructions on how side dishes worked. Not sure I would return

Amazing food! If you are looking to have duck in various versions, this is the place! Cooked to perfection! Very good service and kind employees! RECOMMENDED

Service was a little sparse, but the food more than made up for it! The duck breast and the duck burger were perfect! The mashed potatoes were some of the best I’ve ever had! Great desserts and delicious champagne choices! LOVED it!

My second time here. Ate in April 2024 and was back in Paris for a return visit in November. The duck is always great and the prix fixed dinner option is a great value. I enjoyed the duck confit in April, this time I had the chance to have the duck breast. It was wonderfully cooked...and the fresh cut frites were so good! Thank you for a great meal and service. A nice way to spend my last night in Paris.

We ordered 2 set menus (starter + main) with duck confit and breast. The portion is good and the dishes tasted delicious. Very good bargain. Better to eat the meat with skin so that the fat can melt with the meat to make it more juicy. The breast was cooked in a good condition, not too chewy not too dry. All sides are all you can eat but we had enough in the first round so didn’t order more. Overall, highly recommended.
