At D’Artagnan, we’re big fans of duck. It’s been one of our most popular products for over 30 years, inspiring chefs and home cooks alike. Right now duck is enjoying trend status and appearing on menus in unique ways. Grub Street shared some of the most exciting preparations of duck in NYC, and many of the restaurants selected are serving ours! Have you tried any of the creative duck dishes below?
Hungry for duck and not in the NYC area? Just order duck online and cook at home. We have videos and recipes to help you make the best duck of your life.
Duck is an endlessly versatile red meat, and to prove the point here are a few inventive ways that our New York City restaurant clients are serving it.
Duck Pie at Momofuku
Best. Pie. Ever. Inside the lacquered pastry crust, you will find duck legs, foie gras, aged butter, and vin jaune. FYI they make a very limited number of these each day.
Choucroute à la Juive for Two at Le Coucou
Alsace-style choucroute with duck breast, leg and foie gras. Swoon.

Honey Lacquered Duck for Two at Legacy Records
The caramelized – almost burnished – whole duck is a revelation from Chef Ryan Hardy.

Duck-Frites at Frenchette
Who needs steak when you have duck breast? If you can’t get to Frenchette, make this at home with our duck fat fries.

Did you know? Our founder’s father, André Daguin, was the pioneer chef who seared the first duck breast and served it rare, like a steak.
