"In fact it was the appropriately goose-bump inducing mineral-rich succulence of the juicy magret de canard (duck breast) that sent me musing in some very murky layers of memory."

"This popular, well-mannered bourgeois bistro with lace curtains, red-checked tablecloths, and wry but polite waiters always gets it just right, with a superb roster of good old-fashioned Gallic food, including duck breast with olives."

"The duck breast was juicy and moist, and paired nicely with the silky mashed potatoes. Our dishes were hearty, filling, and extremely delicious."

"When you can, try their duck, it is very tender and tasteful and normally comes with good side dishes."

"Basque cooking is known for its bold flavors and generosity, and the choices at Afaria are no exception. Crisp-skinned duck breast with balsamic-fig vinegar (for two) is served dramatically, inside a ceramic roof tile, with the accompanying potato gratin perched on a bed of twigs."

"The atmosphere of this convivial restaurant is rivalled only by its fine cuisine (seared duck with honey). In the heart of one of the capital’s most touristy neighbourhoods, Chez Toinette has kept alive the tradition of old Montmartre with its simplicity and culinary expertise."

"A provençal style bistro serving traditional dishes like duck breast. Affordable and tasty, the restaurant is located in a charming setting on a quiet corner deep in the Marais."

"If you are looking for a fantastical (yes I said it) steaklet of duck, Le Petit Canard is the place! I never knew duck could taste so succulent and lean. Order the Magret with four sides (suggest the string beans wrapped in bacon, diced potatoes, potato and chestnut puree, and mushrooms) and two sauces (I preferred the honey and sesame sauce). Bon Appetit!"

"The duck was great - perfectly cooked medium rare, tender, and with a sweet, smoky, Asian-tasting crust. The bitterness of the cauliflower was a well thought out pairing."
