    We splurged last night and the four of us shared 7 entrees, all but two of them being vegan. It was soooo delicious. My friend best summarized it as a “journey for the taste buds” and was it ever. The (since retired for the season after yesterday) pave was to die for, as was the tomato dish, eggplant dish… It was amazing. And for dessert I enjoyed the Cheese cart which is a culinary adventure AND educational experience worth witnessing. What is also pretty crazy is that there are NO tips and everyone there makes a Living wage. I got the impression that everyone really like each other and have each other’s backs.

    We dined here at the recommendation of a friend. Based on location I probably would not have tried it. It is hands down the best culinary experience I have had. The menu is refreshed frequently bevy they use fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The drinks must be sampled as well. Truly creative. The staff were attentive and friendly and the opposite of pretentious. Plates are meant to be shared (and it’s the best way to sample several items). The pricing includes tip because staff are paid a living wage. If you insist, they support a charity.

    My. Gawd. What an exceptional experience. We put ourselves in the hands of Chef Jon Rennie and Wes Klassen and we couldn't be happier that we did. It was two couples for dinner and we asked for 3 plates each to share (which turned into 4) and they varied up everything so we got to taste almost the whole menu. Incredible. The service was fluid, friendly, attentive and educational. And the FOOD! The food was perfection...I mean, perfection. Treat yourself and get the wine pairings if you can swing it -- it made for such an amazing meal. And don't skip the dessert!

    Thank you so much. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the incredible food, amazing service, delightful artwork adorning the walls, and the overall energetic vibe of the place. The menu boasted an array of tempting options, making it difficult to choose just one dish. The food surpassed my expectations. Every bite was bursting with flavour and expertly crafted. From the presentation to the taste, I was blown away. I heard a lady asking if she could lick the plate. The service was equally outstanding. The staff members were attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. Their genuine enthusiasm for the restaurant and its offerings was infectious, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. I will definitely be returning to explore more of the menu and savour the cheese cart. Thanks so much for hosting us!!

    An amazing experience hands down!!! Staff were super friendly and kind. The seating was great, and I was in and out of the place in maybe 30 minutes. (Finishing two dishes and a cocktail) Personally I never had beef tartar before, thought it was gonna be nasty but holy hell was it ever delicious. And the mashed potatoes were just mmmm. Also the jungle duck cocktail was a super nice treat. Best part of the experience honestly was not having to be prompted for a tip!! Prices on the menu were extremely fair given how amazing all the food tasted! Great for a special night out or a treat. Will definitely be back.

    Inventive and playful fine dining food in a relaxed setting. The plates are great for sharing, but I just ate alone and enjoyed the whole thing myself! Odd Duck is very local/seasonal focused and it's menu constantly changes to reflect this. They are also tip free and pay a living wage to all employees which I love. I started the night with the Autumn Hash made of parsnip mash with brussels sprouts, radish, parsnip chips, fingerling potatoes and blood orange. The later was surprising but added a great citrus pop that brought the whole dish together perfectly. It was my favorite of the night. Next was the rabbit 2 ways with fondant potatoes, smoked vegetables and blackberry reduction was good for the most part but the potatoes were a bit undercooked. The smoke veg against the blackberry reduction was great. Beef shank terrine is not something I would normally order but I was so intrigued by guava beer caramel that I had to try it! The terrine was a bit dense, but the guava beer (it was honestly more of a sauce than a caramel) was a revelation and i found myself just going back to it again and again scraping the plate to get every last drop. The "Layers" dessert was huge...perhaps to big! I was glad for the generosity but the thickness of some layers made it hard to get all of them in one bite. The top layer of miso brown butter mousse was the best thing I tasted all night. The orange gelee below was a bit too thick and marmaladey and sadly overpowered the above mousse. The white chocolate and brownie layers below were wonderfully decadent. The Orange and Cardamom sorbet packed the perfect punch and was a refreshing offset. I am not much of a drinker and was happy to see them include a low and no alcohol cocktail list. Casa Pinata's Tepache was a fun discovery. It is fermented pineapple juice much like a kombucha with cloves and cadamom which reminded me a lot of mulled wine. I loved it. All and all I loved my experience at Odd Duck. While there were some missteps the chefs are obviously exploring and trying new things and that is what I absolutely love. Odd Duck won't be for everyone, but if you love adventurous seasonal cuisine this is the perfect place to find it.

    What an amazing addition to DTK! Every dish was amazing and we really loved the wine, beer and cocktail selection. The cheese cart is a fun addition. Will certainly be back to try their new creations! Thanks for having us!

    The odd duck is a very wonderful up and coming restaurant. The menu is ever changing so every time you go will be a different experience. Very eclectic-industrial vibes. They are a living wage employer (!!!!EXTRA POINTS). Everyone was so friendly and the food was excellent.
