Duck a la Presse
Reserve your Duck a la Presse experience. A historical dining experience, executed table-side, celebrating French culinary history. Our restored antique Duck Presse is used to prepare the classic flambée sauce.
Duck a la Presse
Join us for a classic dining experience of another time and era and transport yourself. Devined in Rouen, just North of Paris, and brought to the city in the late 19th century by a man named Machenet, the inspired and sometimes considered macabre dish was made famous by Chef Frèdèric of the restaurant La Tour d' Argent.
While we cannot, in this country, serve the very traditional "strangled duck", we source our beautiful birds well and include the permissible innards. Excruciating detail and history can be discussed table side, as you enjoy the show. A whole roasted duck is presented, carved, with the carcass then "pressed" table side preparing your sauce for the dish. Served with seasonal accoutrement, the Duck a la Presse is best served and can be a meal for 2, or a course for 4.
$275 for a whole duck and accoutrement (*50.00 deposit required at booking)
