Le Canard: The restaurant The Economist prefers
The Economist magazine calls Le Canard “dangerously comfortable” and “unapologetically decadent”. Wine magazine’s Top 100 Restaurants, the best restaurant guide in the country, praises its “perfectly plated dishes” as a “feast of taste and texture”.
Chef/patronne Frieda Appelbaum has been running Le Canard for more than a decade in a Georgian-style house, a former brothel sited next to the northern branch of the Rand Club. Appelbaum, a legend in foodie Johannesburg, clearly deserves the accolades that regularly come her way; stocks are made fresh every day, dishes are napped in reduced sauces, and the menu includes such items as medallions of beef in Cognac and ceps, Pernod-flavoured frogs’ legs and – of course – deboned half-duckling crisped with honey and black pepper, and laced with liqueur.
You’ll think you’re in France – and not only because of the perfectly present Gallic-flavoured dishes. The extensive wine list has won a Diners Club award.
Le Canard is open for lunch Monday to Friday and dinner Monday to Saturday. Booking is essential: telephone (011) 884-4597 or fax (011) 883-8735.
