Canard is unique. After 32 years in the same location in the city of Kingston NY, it remains, within its dimming cuts, unique French. The somewhat rude waiters in their long white aprons from the bar, the murmur of their non-stop colloquie in French, the whimsical decor in shade of dark wood and shady ochres, the linoleum tied floor in curious configurations, adding to an old world ambience of a bistro almost everywhere in France around 1963. The food is respectable and unfussy. The wine list is good, but expensive. A lunch for two, consisting of two onion soups, two salad nicoise, a bottle of wine and a common crème brûlée came to $187 with a 20% tip, but it is hard to complain if the lasting existence of a place like this, in a city like Kingston, is a miracle in itself
