Canard à la Presse
Our exciting news at Philippe is that we are now offering the classic dish Le canard à la Rouennaise à la presse. Also known as Pressed Duck there are only a handful of restaurants around the world offering this dish: The Tour d’Argent in Paris, Ottos in London, À L’aise in Oslo, and Pasjoli in Los Angeles to name a few. We’re really excited to offer this classic dish in Melbourne.
The dish is designed to be shared. Please pre-order with at least 24 hours notice by calling the restaurant.
