Duck & Buvette ♥ ♥ ♥

Duck & Buvette now occupies the space where Cafe Provencal was. I remember enjoying
the food at the former restaurant, but somehow it had gotten old. I am glad the owners
decided to breathe new life into it.

When you eat at a restaurant named Duck & Buvette, it is but natural to start your meal 
with Duck Rillette

Underneath the layer of duck fat is shredded duck house-cured by the chef. It was good on
bread and topped with a dab of grain mustard to counteract its richness.

A little Truffle Roasted Cauliflower break before we proceeded with our mains.
The vegetables were nicely browned and crunchy, and the smell was intoxicating! 
I can imagine bringing a jumbo bag of this to munch on in the movies. Healthy and yum.

And the star of Duck & Buvette Show - The Duck Confit!
Half a duck beautifully fried so that the skin was crisp and extremely tasty, and the meat
underneath remained surprisingly moist and tender.

I had to put down my fork and disrupt my eating to take another photo for you to see. 
Not a big fan of poultry but this sure made a convert out of me.

I would have picked a chocolate dessert if Achi Chris did not suggest we try Earl's Cheesecake.
Was I glad she did. The cheesecake was so light and creamy I could have finished the whole 
thing on my own.

It was perfect with my single origin Flecha Roja Costa Rica pour over coffee

Duck & Buvette serves Intelligentsia Coffee from Chicago. 
Aside from Black Cat and El Diablo, they will be featuring a new
single origin each month. I can't wait to try all.
