Hot Spot of the week is the new outpost of Canard in Oregon City! We recently headed over there for a leisurely business lunch, and it is the perfect spot for exactly that. This new restaurant offers some of the Canard classics, plus some new and interesting dishes.
We started, as usual with some lovely cocktails. I had the Standard OG, a nice dark cocktail in the vein of a Vieux Carre. Jessica gave the Old Habits a spin, which was bright citrusy and a tad spicy from the jalapeno. Both were well-mixed and tasty!
For lunch we started with the shrimp cocktail lettuce wraps. This dish is a refreshing twist on the classic shrimp cocktail, with the shrimp nestled in a leaf of butter lettuce and topped with a Thai cocktail sauce. It’s the perfect light lunch option that won’t leave you feeling weighed down.
If you’re feeling more adventurous, try the foie gras dumplings. These little bites of heaven are bursting with rich and savory flavor. The dumplings are filled with foie gras and are bathed in dashi and hoisin that perfectly complements the richness of the filling.
For a wonderful vegetarian option, don’t miss out on the seven spice squash. This dish features tender slices of Delicata squash that are seasoned with a blend of seven spices, and served alongside cashew cream, lemongrass, and grapefruit. It’s a perfect side dish to pair with any of Canard’s other offerings.
Not only does Canard offer amazing food, but the restaurant itself is a sight to behold. The chic and modern decor creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere that will make you feel right at home. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite on your lunch break or enjoying a leisurely meal with friends, Canard is the perfect spot.
In terms of location, Canard is conveniently located in the heart of Oregon City. So, whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s the perfect spot to stop and refuel during your day.
