From Sparrow’s dinner menu, the Braised Duck is one of our cozy, satisfying entrees here in Kirkland’s Juanita neighborhood ($48).
About the Dish
This is duck done the comforting way. We use slow roasted breast, leg and thigh, so you get the richer dark meat alongside tender breast on one plate. It is finished with a cherry port wine sauce that brings a sweet, deep fruit note to the savory duck, and it comes with crispy baby potatoes on the side. It is the kind of warm, unfussy entree that fits a neighborhood table on the Eastside, generous enough to anchor a relaxed dinner with friends or a quiet evening for two.
What to Drink With It
Duck and red wine are a classic match, and the cherry port sauce loves a fruit-forward red. We would point you to the Kiona Merlot for something plush and rounded, or the DeLille D2 if you want a bit more structure. See the full list on the Sparrow beverages menu.
