La Mare aux Canards – Wood-fire rotisserie in the Meudon forest
On foot, by bike or by carriage, we invite you to venture into the Meudon forest… and perhaps you will find La Mare aux Canards. If you do, keep the secret safe!
We welcome you to an exceptional setting in the heart of the woods, for lunch from Tuesday to Sunday and for dinner from Tuesday to Saturday.
Our spits turn constantly in the fireplace, roasting ducks, chickens and spring chickens to golden perfection. In the kitchen? Traditional French dishes and desserts, of course.
When you arrive, one question remains: “Forest or fireside?” The enchanting forest side in summer, the crackling fireside in winter… or why not the other way round?
Reservations
For bookings of 15 people or more, please choose the “Groups” option: you will receive our proposals by email.

Spit-roasted poultry, traditional dishes and desserts, cocktails and a fine wine list.
See the menuA little history
In the early 19th century, a farmer named “Petit-Maire” set up a small duck and chicken farm on the edge of the Mare Adam pond (today the Mare Adam crossroads).
Since the 19th century, the Petit-Maire family and their successors have kept the spits turning at the Mare Adam crossroads.
