Where to eat a good duck breast in Lyon?
At Copain Comme Canard, duck breast is a true institution! Rooted in the very story of our creation, this beloved and indulgent dish is celebrated all year round — not just during the holidays. Sourcing high-quality Label Rouge producers from the South-West, cooking and elevating the product while respecting authentic flavours — and sometimes adding a touch of creativity: when it comes to duck breast, we know what we’re doing!
Copain Comme Canard,
the temple of duck breast
Hugues, our founder, fell in love with duck and local terroir from a very young age. His uncle and aunt, co-founders of Maison Argaud — artisan canning specialists — passed down their passion for exceptional products and authentic flavours. From Hugues’ childhood memories filled with duck breast, rillettes, and generous feasts was born the idea of creating a warm place where people could share the pleasures of South-West-inspired cuisine.
And over there, duck breast is essential: at Copain Comme Canard, we still source from Maison Argaud, but also from Domaine Limagne and Maison Lafitte, whom we took the time to meet to ensure consistent, outstanding quality.
The great classic, elevated
Our signature classic duck breast — the star of the menu — comes with a homemade sauce of your choice to bring out all its flavours: honey, rosemary, or Guji-Sarawak. A bold touch with these coffee and pepper notes that pair beautifully with this delicate meat and its distinct, honest flavours. Surprising delights for your palate that you won’t forget anytime soon!
Duck breast, in all its forms
Try duck breast tataki, prepared with a punchy Asian-style marinade, or savour its rich flavours when cured, featured on our Basque pizza or in our Lyonnaise salad. We never lack know-how or creativity… Enough to delight food lovers who also enjoy culinary discoveries!
