At Copain Comme Canard, the love for duck isn’t a new thing. It runs in the veins of Hugues Chazottes, the founder of the restaurant, who grew up in a family where rillettes replaced spreadable chocolate for breakfast. Far from being just a passing fancy, this passion is a family legacy: his uncle and aunt are the artisans behind Maison Argaud, a duck specialist since 1982. The result? A place that takes quality seriously and celebrates the bird in all its delightful forms.
After a stunning success in Lyon, the brand is taking flight and setting up shop in Bordeaux, right in the heart of the Saint-Pierre district, just a stone's throw from the Saint-Pierre Church and the Place de la Bourse. A prime location where history and the vibrant life of Bordeaux meet, filled with lively terraces and the French art of living. With 50 indoor seats, 20 on the terrace, and private spaces available, everything is designed to welcome those who love good food and good times.

A place where duck takes center stage
Here, forget about formal dinners and embrace generosity. The duck breast is served by weight, tailored to everyone’s appetite. The foie gras comes in a plate or in Rossini style. Feeling adventurous? Try the duck tartare and tataki, which win over skeptics of this exceptional meat. And for the curious, the tsukune, crispy tacos, and other unexpected recipes only strengthen this spot's reputation.
But Copain Comme Canard is not just about the plates. Happiness is also in the glass with more than 150 references of wines for this opening (the director of the house being a trained sommelier and former dining room manager of the legendary restaurant: Frida) and house-made, creative cocktails crafted by a mixologist present at every service. It's no coincidence that the restaurant's tagline is “Canard - Cocktails - Canons.” Copain Comme Canard is also about the atmosphere. A place to share, where you come to clink glasses, savor flavors, and laugh freely. It's an experience more than just a meal, where local charm meets a good dose of modernity. Bordeaux, get ready: the duck is arriving in style, and it’s not here to just sit and blend in.
