le canard libéré
• 14 comments •
Since neither of us ordered the fois gras poutine at Au Pied de Cochon, when we saw it on the menu at Le Canard Libéré, it had to be sampled. Le Canard Libéré is a gourmet store that we pop into whenever we can to pick up ingredients. Although it's focus is selling duck products (that are made from ducks raised locally in Brome Lake), they have a variety of foods and kitchen items. The store also has a tiny little restaurant with a few seats. In addition to the poutine, we ordered a duck burger with fries (cooked in duck fat, of course). Both meals were more than we could handle and were stuffed after a few bites.
They're often cooking up something to sample, near the entrance, to encourage people to incorporate duck products into their meals. We always leave with a recipe, but have yet to attempt any at home. It's safe to say that we've eaten more duck in the last few months than we have in our entire lives!

I've never had duck...ever! Does it taste like chicken?! ^_^
ReplyDeletehow fun. I recently had a fantastic duck entree and oh yes, seared foie gras is definitely a favorite!
ReplyDeletewow...duck burger? that's a first i've ever heard of! i've had duck before but it just seems too gamey for me. also, are you two fluent in french? we are looking at school in montreal and my husband is fluent, but i am not. i want to be able to work there and am wondering if that would be a huge problem...i know it sometimes was when i lived in ottawa
