Duckfat - Belgian restaurant in Portland - 43 Middle St, USA

I visited here around mid October 2023, and I must say, it was fantastic and lived up to their reputation! Their classic duck fat poutine is a must from here, along with their milkshakes. It was the best one I’ve ever had! They also serve it like they did in the 50s so that was fun! The sandwich I had was great too. Wait time can be a little long on a Friday so be prepared to wait close to an hour. With downtown Portland right there, there’s plenty of places to explore. I would definitely go here again!

This place get busy very quickly, so I would advise to come early if you want to sit inside. If you don’t mind the outside, they can usually seat you fairly quickly. My favorite is the fries, fried in duck fat. If you can decide which dipping sauce you want, I would recommend to get the flight of sauce- it’s amazing. The poutine is also amazing, crispy and creamy with the sunny side egg. I’d highly recommend to come here for their fries.

Nice place for lunch. Quiet famous in Portland so always busy. Very friendly staff. Sandwiches were good, not anything special tho for the price. Fries and milkshakes were very good. Would say as good a milkshake as I've ever had. I would go back just for milkshake.

This little but fun spot you could blink and go right by had the absolute BEST LOBSTER ROLL IVE EVER HAD!!!, The duck was cooked impeccably and tasted so good! Gotta try the fries with the duck egg and thank me later. The staff were attentive and wonderful! Ask for CC! If you’re in the Portland area definitely do not miss this one!! We drove from Vermont almost 4 hours and were not disappointed!!

There needs to be a better word for delicious, because the food here is on another level of satisfying. From the milkshakes to the fries/poutine to the sandwiches, we were satisfied. The staff were delightful and entertaining as well as attentive. I never had a Cubano sandwich that froze my mind with flavor. I would highly recommend this place, it has two different locations in Portland.

Came here for lunch yesterday with a party of two. The service was fast and the waiters were super kind, and the food was delicious! The frites were not super greasy and very hearty, and the sauces that came with them were also wonderful. The Tuscan spiced roast turkey was an excellent sandwich, the bread was crispy and it was both filling and fresh. The lemon thyme spritzer was refreshing for a summer day, but I couldn't taste much time. The chocolate milkshake was chocolatey and sweet, but not too sweet. Overall, pretty much everything was great about this place, the food, the ambience, the service and especially the wall of word magnets. I'll be sure to return soon.

Very good! If you get the poutine, get the egg and the crispy duck skin confit! All of these things individually are okay but marry them all together and it's a delicious myriad of flavor for your taste buds to enjoy! The black tea was the best I had while I was in Maine. The cherry sulfate is a unique taste experience. I don't think I'll do it again but I am glad I did it once. The server was just delightful and appropriately attentive. If you go, make sure you get there early or prepare to wait. I got there 30 minutes before opening and a line formed right behind me. The restaurant was pretty much full as soon as it opened.

This place is amazing!🦆 While visiting the New England area, this was one of the best eats of the whole trip! Atmosphere: They have indoor and outdoor seating with a small wooden structure that is stationed on the road that holds three long, wooden tables. The structure has round windows on the sides as well as greenery which have the space some character! Service: Our waiter was very kind! He was great to answer any questions we had whether it was menu item recommendations or places to do in Portland. Menu items: Everything we ordered on the menu was delicious! We ordered the Belgian-style frites with a five sauce flight, their original milkshake, lobster roll sandwich, and doughnut holes which absolutely slapped! Next time I go to Portland, I’d love to come back here and try some more of their menu items!🦞
