Duck Confit – duck confit, spinach, berry compote, mushroom fricassee and roasted potato. I can say quite definitively that this is the best duck confit I’ve ever had. The duck skin is salty and wonderfully fatty, and once in the cavern of your mouth the fat instantly melts away in a way you wish your stubborn cellulite would. The duck meat is chewy and with each gnash of the teeth, the meat surrenders its seemingly endless supply of marvelously flavourful and salty juice. I barely even took note of the berry elements, being too busy enjoying every drop of duck goodness au naturel. Meanwhile, the mushroom fricassee and spinach are delicious and moist, and their fragrance somehow remind me of Chinese cooking. They almost feel more like a separate mini dish than merely a side! Don’t let the admittedly cafeteria-esque interior of The Betterfield mislead you – the chef is masterful, and this duck confit is a revelation. 4.6/5
