La Mare aux Canard - Toulouse

Very small place with a short and inexpensive menu. But, there is usually only one person at home to do everything, so things can sometimes become a little slow. and it is a bit grinchous and does not smile much, which is a shame because the food is worth the detour (especially if the duck is your thing.) the portions are generous. potatoes in duck fat were disappointing - they did not taste to be freshly cooked.

I went there because of the duck. beautiful little restaurant but the waitress pressed us and when we asked for a few minutes, it seemed unhappy. No smiles on her face. She doesn't deserve the 2 euros that stay after dinner. The food was okay not wow. Pay attention to quantities if you don't order a menu.

My visiting mother really wanted duck jam, so after reading others, I decided to try here. in a small side street with some Indian restaurants (I'll try soon) and the winter garden is this little place. the menu is not exaggerated and the formula at 20 € offers an excellent value for money. The entrance salad is huge and the onion soup is less onion onion plus stock/style home but rather tasty. the confit was very pleasant with small potatoes jumped and some pears robbed. the slices of duck with green pepper sauce were charming. desserts are usual, not particularly inspiring but a sweet finish. It is a very family kitchen with the duck cooked to perfection. Probably come back.

To be fair, this criticism concerns the salmon dish because I am a pescatarien. my husband and my friends had variations on the duck - orange, cassoulet - and sausages and all praised their food. we all ordered from the option three courses to 15 £. I had goat cheese salad, salmon and dessert (forgotable) in chocolate sauce. The salad was a large portion that was pretty pleasant. Idem for this salmon even if the taste was very good. but he and the dish of others were accompanied by potatoes with duck fat. I had to cheat a little on my diet because omg they were delicious. on another more white wine glasses are filled! The small flat was the service. the Eastern waitress/director was not very friendly and we had to constantly report someone for table water, etc. It was a bust on Saturday night, so obviously the establishment needs to hire more staff.

Good restaurant close to the city center. Besides the main dish, the dishes are medium. It is worth it if you like duck - the main dishes are really fantastic, cooked to perfection. I was a little disappointed by dessert and coffee (very low quality.) the restaurant decoration is pretty, the staff served us quickly (there were only two busy tables), the overall atmosphere was nice but I wasn't a big fan of background music - general public radio with all the ads etc.
