Duck & Waffle

A confit duck leg on buttermilk waffle, with a fried duck egg and mustard maple syrup. Wow. The combination alone is enough to whet our appetite and pique our interest in this new opening. Add the name Duck & Waffle to that equation and you can see why the city’s foodies were hyped to try this one.
Duck & Waffle is a famous London restaurant with sweeping 40th-storey views of that city. You probably recognise the name if you’ve read a list of “London restaurants with a view”. It also never sleeps: it’s open 24/7 and is a place that both Londoners and tourists frequent.
Here in Hong Kong, our branch of the resto has opened on the first floor of IFC Mall in Central. It’s not a round-the-clock experience like in London, but as part of a British-inspired menu it does serve up the famous namesake dish I mentioned in the opening line. Which is perfect, because that’s the dish my group was all interested in trying.
We went for a weekday brunch (Monday, 10am); at this time, the restaurant was partially full and welcomingly calm. It’s a nice time to go – from all accounts, it gets quite busy in the evenings.
