Many people ask us to describe our restaurant. In a word…FRESH! Our mission is to bring something different to the table and stand in a class of our own. We are passionate about using the freshest, most wholesome ingredients available, sourcing our food from local farms and suppliers when seasonably available. Our menus change with each season and we continually offer unique specials. During the day, we offer a variety of the freshest, most flavorful sandwiches on our ciabatta bread baked fresh daily. Our salads and soups are made from scratch. When dinner is served, we upscale the restaurant and change the mood with white linens, table service, and a more refined menu featuring our famous Duck Confit, Rabbit Pot Pie and Pork Osso Bucco. Our goal is to provide our guests with a unique and memorable dining experience.
Ugly Duckling takes its inspiration from the intersection between Coastal BC's magical landscapes and the rich cultural heritage of North America’s oldest Chinatown. We offer experiential dining built around two promises: to serve you only those things which we have made by hand; and to work really, really hard to make you smile. We can't wait to welcome you.
