Le Canard Enchaine

This is my favorite restaurant in Ulster/Dutchess county, and maybe even all of New York. I've been here on multiple occasions, and the staff has always been delightful. The atmosphere is glorious with good music and decoration. Most importantly the food is to die for. I have not been disappointed by a single thing on the menu. The escargot and crab cake are some of my favorites

This places us a GEM!! Me and my husband had date night here and not we were not disappointed. The food amazing the atmosphere amazing and the service was amazing. We had the 🦪 oysters, snails 🐌, the salmon, and the branzino . Everything was perfect. 🤩

A perfect French experience with lots of wine options for dinner, oysters were fresh and delicious w a white I can’t remember (6mos ago, forgot to review!!!) - we had a bottle of chateau neuf du pape too, bursting w fruit. Our waiter even understood some French (w a good accent) and it is definitely French owned, by a family I was told. And I love the name, and the newspaper 😊 Can’t wait to be back.

Everything we ordered tasted excellent! It has been a great dining experience. From appetizers to deserts we enjoyed every bite ! I highly recommend this restaurant to have a Parisian experience @ Kingston, NY.

Le Canard Enchaine is one of my very favorite restaurants. The food is excellent and it has a warm and cozy atmosphere. I had escargot and French onion soup. Creme brulee is almost always my dessert there.

My wife and I are ex-NYC residents of 45 and 53 years respectively who transplanted ourselves into Newburgh of the Hudson Valley some 7 years ago.

It’s been a real challenge to find restaurants of the quality of the many that we took for granted in Manhattan. Up until now, there have been only four, and one closed.

For my 70th birthday, we wanted something new and we took a chance on Le Canard Enchaine.

We give this place a 5 out of 5 for
- food: each appetizer, entree and desert were superb.
- drinks: my martini was dry and subtle, how I like it.
- service: a shout out to our waitress Caitlin, who was a complete pro, attentive without being intrusive, who made good recommendations, and patiently and smartly tolerated my tiresome jokes

We give it a 4 out of 5 for decor:
- the decor would have gotten a five. It was nicely Frenchie. But as most old fine restaurants in upstate NY are, the light is dark. Not romantic dark, but musty-old dark. Most importantly, also like many if not most upstate restaurants, a little more attention needs to be paid to cleanliness? We got the window seats we asked for. When I went to open up the blinds to let more light in, I noticed that there was a ton of dust on them.

We were there on MLK holiday where many retails and Restaurants close that day. Also not so many people. The restaurant is big and have around 4-5 section dining room.
It is a fine dining with friendly staffs and service. Food are great! Have the snail soup for the first time and the sauce are so good that me and boyfriend keep digging in with bread.
The casserole are well done with a duck, pork belly, sausages come so tasty.
The staffs are very helpful too as I forgot my purse and they help mail them back so quickly.
We definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Absolutely fantastic experience at this gem in Kingston. Yvonne, the hostess, our bartender Brian, and owner John - all great people. And the food - wow! Maybe the best endive salad ever? And a truly excellent steak, perfectly prepared (great to split) with garlic-herb compound butter. Can’t recommend enough.

Amazing experience. I went for my birthday dinner. The menu is rather small in comparison to other places but the food is incredible. The variety of appetizers are all amazing. I would recommend thr escargot flambe. There are always a few specials that the server will tell you too. All the entreés were to die for. One of my guests ordered the lamb shank, which was served in a cranberry sauce. The neat was fall-off-the-bone tender. I ordered the NY strip. It was perfectly cooked. The slight char gave it an amazing flavor and complimented the herb butter perfectly. The thinly sliced French fries underneath it were beautifully seasoned. The desserts are also always great. The service wasn't the fastest but not slow either. All the wait staff was friendly and the owner even came out and checked up on tables. All in all, an amazing experience. Perfect for fine dining without the pressure of having to dress up in formal attire. The atmosphere was lively and it's the best, if not, only French restaurant in the area.

From the food to the atmosphere to the warm and welcoming staff, this is by far one of my favorite restaurants. The food was out of this world. Best duck I have ever had. Everything I tasted far exceeded my expectations. Thank you to the owners and staff for such a wonderful experience.

It’s a really great place! I went there for my wedding anniversary and people were very friendly and nice. I got bread and fresh butter first and the butter was so fresh and savory and I ordered garlic snails, half duck with berry sauce, creme brûlée. Every single dish was awesome and well cooked. After finishing meal I also ordered hot americano and it was very delicious too. I really recommend here for any kind of meal plan. 💕

I was really surprised how good this place was for a French Restaurant in Kingston. I ordered the Lamb Shank and my friend ordered the Branzino.. The Shank was superb. I also got the french onion soup. Very very delicious. If you are in the Rhinebeck/Kingston area, I highly recommend you try this place. Your belly will not be dissapointed.

Good service, cozy environment, nice hostess, delicious foods. Definitely recommend. French onion soup is rich and tasty.

This is my third time here. It’s amazing! The food is unmatched anywhere within a 150 mile radius. I dine out for work very often 2-3 times per week. This place is a treat.

Outstanding French food. Especially recommend the Foie Gras appetizer, Lamb, scallops, flour less chocolate cake and creme brûlée. Better food than most upscale NYC restaurants. Service and ambiance were great too. Must eat here.

I don't have enough stars to describe my experience 🙂

We had a fabulous birthday dinner at Le Cenard Enchaine. Five star service and the chef was very attentive. The food was fantastic. Delicious shrimp and crab cake with an incredible sauce. We also had escargot and for dessert we had creme brûlée. I recommend having dinner at the best restaurant in Ulster County.

This French eatery is a joy! The menu is tempting & the food is wondwtful! While duck is their specialty but i had a wonderful bronzino. We drive an hour to get there but it sxl worth it.

Visited on 11/10. Stephano is amazing. He gave us phenomenal service. What he actually did not know is that it was a very special night for us and we had reservations across the street; however, we were not fans of the atmosphere and left. He was so attentive and oustanding. My partner does not speak much English and Stephano even spoke in Spanish for us. Thanks to him, this was the best restaurant experience I may have ever had. I already shared it on facebook.

The steak was cooked exactly to my liking. My partner loved his snails and salad. We even got an excellent dessert.

It was cold outside and they had heaters and were very attentive. Prices were reasonable. Beautiful place and outside seating was lovely.

Highly recommend and ensure Stephano is your server!

This isn't just a restaurant, it's a destination! What a delightful surprise to find in The Hudson Valley. Ambience, service, amazing food,... sophisticated yet personal. The best meal I've had in years!
