Duck Duck Goose just debuted in Baltimore this summer, bringing a slice of Parisian life to town. The traditional French brasserie imports the style and sophistication of the French city to accompany its mix of classic and contemporary cuisine. So the next time you have a special occasion to celebrate, Duck Duck Goose is an ideal place to do it.

Grab a table for dinner and share a few small plates. Try the popular beef tartare, a dish of prime tenderloin with house-ground dijon, and the ratatouille, a classic creation that features Japanese eggplant, yellow and green squash, and frisée. Complement your tapas with shareable plates like the cauliflower "steak" or lamb bolognese. If you still have room for an entree, Duck Duck Goose offers a slate of classics, like the honey-roasted duck with Bing cherry reduction and seared scallops served with Israeli couscous.
