odd duck | wine & provisions

Exceptional first time experience at Odd Duck! They take such care in creating some of the most flavourful and multidimensional dishes. We had oysters to start and they were like no other. The seafood, meat and local produce is fresh and creatively used. The pasta is homemade and we had the gourmet Mac & cheese, which was next level. Would recommend and will return! Thank you for the great customer experience and to our server Sam!

Hands down this was the best meal I've ever had. The drinks, phenomenal. The food, bursting with flavour. The service, perfection. There isn't a single aspect I would change and can't wait to come back to try more of their creations. I also love how they are constantly changing their menu so I'm guaranteed to have a completely new experience when I return. Highly recommend this place.

A breath of fresh air from start to finish. Craveably delicious and innovatively familiar. Not a bad bite and many very memorable ones. The mushroom dish and the croquettes were standouts. Stellar beverage program. Get the Strawberry French 75 if you still can. Do it. Then comes the best part. No waiting for your bill when you're done. Settle up on the way out. Oh, and no tipping. Service is included. Odd duck indeed. I'm in.

The odd duck offers more than just food. It's a whole experience. We ordered 4 plates between two people; the beef prime rib, the carrots, the leek and the pasta option. All of them were amazing. I was going to attempt to describe it but I'm really struggling I can only say the food was amazing.

The staff was excellent they were incredibly attentive, to the point where the server knows you by name based on the time you arrive.

They mixed drinks they served as well were fantastic. I ordered the "some like it hot" bourbon based drink and the "Some romantic name" gin based drink. Both were amazing and we're incredibly high quality.

Something to call out, it's pretty expensive. But you're paying for an experience on top of premium food and service. Another callout - They pay their service staff a livable wage so there's no tipping culture here. Which I think is admirable.

Excellent food, service and ambience. The menu changes at least a couple of times a week so we are already anticipating another visit soon as we're curious about what other splendid concoctions they will come up with.

With each item on the menu there are suggested wine pairings but we don't like alcohol. So the bartender/mixologist created a couple of non-alcoholic pairings for our sturgeon and duck dishes. The drinks were very creative and perfectly complemented our shared dishes. We will come back for the drinks alone.

We ordered four dishes for two people with average appetites - two vegetables (vegetable dishes tend to be smaller) and two meat dishes. The vegetable dishes appeared small in portion but they packed a huge taste.

Everything about our experience was top notch, unique, and creative. The staff was friendly without being obtrusive. "Sam" was our server and she was absolutely delightful - not because she just knew the Odd Duck offerings but because she was so proud of, and excited about, being part of the Odd Duck team.

Odd Duck feels like a team effort amongst the entire staff and the folks there all feel a sense of ownership and equality and respect amongst one another.

If you want to understand just how unique Odd Duck is, check out their website and read their Code of Conduct. If every restaurant functioned like Odd Duck, they would thrive and do well, and serve their customers and staff well.

There's only one thing I wish was better - the chairs. I have a delicate derriere so sitting on a wood chair for a couple of hours was painful. They probably had cushions somewhere, had I asked, but who wants to admit that they have a bony behind?

I went to Odd Duck with a girlfriend for dinner and drinks, all around it was a fantastic experience. We shared 3 dishes, all were delicious and we couldn’t get over how beautiful the plating was. The flavours were phenomenal and dishes were very unique. The cocktail and wine menu had a good variety of options to choose from and they all looked tasty. We stuck to cocktails this time but will be back for more food with wine pairings! Lastly, the service was outstanding. Our server very friendly and helpful with the menu, all the staff were very nice and fun to chat with.

I absolutely love Odd Duck. Wes, Jon and their whole team have created a welcoming warm environment where folx can come together to create memories over delicious savory creations. Wow. The food. You need to take your time and enjoy every single bite. We ordered two dishes each and shared them so we could taste most of the menu. Drinks! Don't forget to order drinks. Yum! Thank you for the amazing evening.

My partner and I went to odd duck for the first time on Valentine's day. We had been highly recommended by family, and it stood up to the reputation! Our server Samm was lovely and attentive, and despite it being such a busy evening the food came quickly and consistently. They had a special menu for Valentine's day which was super fun and made the dinner into an experience. Definitely affordable for the quality; every dish was a flavour combination I never tasted before.
Will definitely be coming back here :)

holy moly what a great experience! service was beyond incredible. Sam hooked us up with an eating order for our plates that was amazing. each dish came out looking like a work of art and tasting like I need it again asap. already was in love with the concept of the place, and now that I've tried it I am a true fan 🖤

My husband and I had a great meal at Odd Duck. The food was incredible and the plating was sophisticated. They are meant to be shareable plates, however, the portion sizes were large enough that we both left feeling satisfied. They were also able to meet my dietary restrictions without any concerns. Our server Sam was very knowledgeable about the food and made wine pairing suggestions for us, which were also amazing. We will definitely be back to this great local establishment. Thank you Odd Duck!

Love the creativity the kitchen has poured into each dish. We really enjoyed the food and wine. Will definitely go back.

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.

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!

What a treat! We can't believe we hadn't been here yet. The service was incredible from the minute we arrived. The wine pairings were perfection and such unique options including a wine from Austria. The cheese cart pairing with cherry magic was divine. We joked that I wanted a spoon to lick up the sauces because the flavours were so perfect! Come because of the welcome atmosphere and inclusivity and stay for the insane food. We will be back!!!

Wonderful dining experience! Currently the Odd Duck is operating out of a shared kitchen, but I found the rustic warehouse vibe to be quite charming with a great view of the action in the kitchen. Seating is limited and intimate, a great date night! Service was excellent and I really appreciated that our server wore a mask. The dishes are smaller shared plates using a lot of local ingredients and everything we ordered looked and tasted great! The duck confit and pork belly were our standouts of the night. We were told the menu changes every week or two so something new to look forward to next time. Can't wait to be back!

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!!

Yum! Every dish we tried was carefully prepared, full of flavour and beautifully presented. It’s hard to pick a favourite, but the lentils, lamb and tuna were high on everyone’s list in our group of four. The cheese cart (ding ding) was the perfect end to our meal. Thrilled to have a gem like this DTK. Their company values, no-tipping policy and overall vibe are a welcome change. We look forward to our next visit!

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.

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.

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!
