Duchess Uptown Park
A contemporary, casual restaurant located in Uptown Park, Duchess serves bold and approachable food inspired by the coastal cultures of the Mediterranean, Asia, and South America. Serving an all-day menu that takes its cue from the unmistakable seductive char of a live flame.
Duchess is a fresh take on live-fire cooking. At the heart of it are a yummy number of dishes that carry the kiss of the flame and take their flavors from coastal lands. What diners will find most appealing is the variety of dishes – shareable cold and hot apps to creative spins on main plates of Bucatini with Mussels, Pan Seared Snapper, Steak & Frites, and flavorful Peas, Pasta, and Prosciutto with fresh campanelle pasta. A true showstopper, the Roasted Seafood Platter features oysters “Rockefeller”, sauteed mussels, wood-grilled lobster tail, octopus, and tiger prawns served with house garnitures.
The tightly edited menu ends on a sweet note with the house signature, Duchess Rose with white chocolate mousse, white chocolate feuilletine, strawberry compote, fresh strawberry, elderflower foam, and micro basil.
Duchess interiors are pretty but not saccharine. Striking jewel tones, cushy banquettes, and snug upholstered chairs are guest-friendly, and the vibe is cozy and works for day and night. The bar offers guests a welcoming place to while away the hours sipping on a cocktail or wines from an international list.
