    Extremely trendy spot in the centre of town. Great decor with a strong duck theme throughout the restaurant and the menu itself. The food was amazing, as were the staff. Highly recommend the veggie option of their signature dish, but the entire brunch menu looked delectable. Bonus points for having sparkling water on tap. It's the little things!

    Went for breakfast and were not disappointed. I had the Duck Benedict and everything was absolutely perfect. Never had a better waffle. Slightly doughy inside, crispy on the outside and just scrumptious. The combination with perfectly poached eggs, hollandaise and sriracha really worked. Has a bit more of a lounge bar feeling to it. Staff friendly and helpful. Not cheap but worth it for us.

    We came to Duck and Waffle to celebrate with my family. As we were a large group, they allowed us to use the whiskey room after reserving with a deposit. The restaurant is just located outside/ near to the entrance to the shopping centre and has a great atmosphere with the lights and open whisky bar. The whisky room is great with a TV that can be linked to phone to show pictures. The only negative about the private whisky room was that it heated up quickly! The staff were attentive and friendly with them showing to out seats and taking drinks orders quickly - and giving several useful recommendations! The only downside was that overall the food was lacking. The Harrisa Cauliflower tasted okay but felt that it could have used more time to cook and soften up - further more, the turkey main was very average alongside the plum pudding. So all in all, great atmosphere and service - the food was lacking.
