Our Chef’s take inspiration from Billy Madison who drew a blue duck because he had never seen one before, and he wanted to see a blue duck! Well, since our chefs love classic Adam Sandler humor and innovative cooking, we thought that Bleu Duck was the perfect name to showcase our fun environment and staff as well as our unique and creative menu. Just like Billy, we like to try things that you’ve never seen before!  Bleu Duck Kitchen and Oyster Bar is a full service restaurant that provides a fun and welcoming atmosphere where white linens meet a casual feel to create the new concept of “fun-dining”. We treat each customer as a welcomed friend, and aim to provide them with an experience that is both personal and unique every time they visit.

    My recent experience at Bleu Duck was, without exaggeration, one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had, and I say this as someone who's been seeking out good restaurants for many years. All service and presentation was done to the highest standard of elegance while also being totally comfortable and non-pretentious. The food itself was excellent to a high order: I'd like to give special compliments to the Pork Belly Ramen, which I felt to be the most delicious noodle dish I had ever tasted. I should also mention the house-recipe root beer, which was a unique and delicious accompaniment to the evening's wonderful cuisine. I can't wait to return to this lovely restaurant the next time I'm in Rochester MN. Thanks very much to the staff!

    We have dined at Thai Pop on several occasions when we are in town. What stands out, besides the consistently delicious food, is how well trained and knowledgeable the servers are about the menu.
