Duc's Bistro - Honolulu

  • Description:

    • Surrounded by lei stands and marked by a cheery neon sign, this cozy 80-seater stands out at the mauka (toward the mountains) end of Maunakea in Chinatown. Narrow and quietly elegant, the restaurant has three components: the front room with windows looking out to Maunakea Street, the windowless back room, and the tiny bar. It has an edgy chic that's more Manhattan than Honolulu, and the food is beautifully prepared and presented. Sauces for the meats hint of Grand Marnier (duck supreme), bordeaux (lamb Raymond Oliver), cognac (steak au poivre), Pernod (prawns and oysters), and fresh herbs and vegetables. From the seafood spring rolls with shrimp, taro, and mushrooms to the excellent "meal in a bowl" (rice noodles heaped with fresh herbs and julienned vegetables, topped with lime dressing), creative touches abound. Live music is featured nightly and surprise vocalists and hula dancers have been known to join in the fun.
