    Press Release: Canard Oregon City Opens July 10th

    By PDX Food Dude Last Update July 7, 2022 Leave a Comment

    I’ve got my reservations, so I’ll post this now – they are going very quickly. Not much to say other than what is in this PR. I live in the area so have been driving by regularly. Here is the announcement in its entirety –

    Find Canard’s famed steam burgers, exuberant cooking, wines, and more at the newest outpost from the Le Pigeon team

    PORTLAND, Ore. (July 6, 2022) – Beginning July 10th, two-time James Beard winning Chef Gabriel Rucker, Co-owner Andy Fortgang, and Partner Taylor Daugherty will bring Canard’s famed Steam Burgers, wines, and good times to Oregon City. Canard’s new Oregon City outpost will serve all the greatest hits from the Burnside flagship, including Steam Burgers, Duck Stacks, Soft-Serve, and more. The Oregon City location will also feature exclusive dishes created just for the new location. Originally opened in 2018 to much fanfare, Canard went on to receive The Oregonian’s Best Restaurant, Portland Monthly’s Restaurant of the Year, as well as national nods for Best New Restaurant in Eater National and Thrillist. The new Canard hits close to home – literally – opening close to Rucker’s home in Milwaukie. The Canard team spotted the corner location, once home to Grano Bakery, noting its perfect potential for a full service restaurant. The space features an expansive glass corner storefront which naturally illuminates the room. Canard Oregon City will be double the size of the Burnside location, with an expansive outdoor patio.

    Boasting playful French-meets-Americana riffs, the menu at Canard will be just as wildly creative as the original with a casual and family-friendly approach. The culinary team is led by Rucker and Chef de Cuisine Jacob Boliba Soule, a Little Bird Bistro alum. They’ve crafted a menu that serves up the building blocks to an incredible meal and showcases their collaborative and playful no rules style with dishes like Steam Burgers, Wagyu Salisbury Steak, Smoked Duck Taquitos, and Dole Whip Sundaes. Canard will initially be open nightly from 4 to 9 p.m. The restaurant will open for lunch later in summer.

    Nominated for a James Beard Award for Outstanding Wine Program in 2020, Canard’s wine list is curated by Co-owner Andy Fortgang and Le Pigeon Restaurant Group Wine Director Benjamin Roan. The wine program at Canard Oregon City will be thoughtful, creative and fun, heavy on wines by the glass, with a large bottle list. Just as the food menu is conducive to both snacking and dining, the wine list will be, too. Canard will offer 18 wines by the glass, and nearly 100 bottles to choose from. The cocktail program will be led by Portland bartending vet Nick Ramsdell.

    Canard Oregon City is located at 1500 Washington Street, Oregon City OR 97045. Beginning in July, Canard will be open nightly from 4 to 9 p.m. Lunch service will follow soon after opening. Canard will be open for mostly walk-ins with limited reservations. Follow along on Instagram @Canard_Restaurant.
