We recently visited the newest restaurant in Duck, NC. The Paper Canoe offers fresh, simple food in a polished casual atmosphere with a stunning waterfront view. This ale house and wine bar also features a wood-fired oven. According to our very informative waitress, they have only been open for 2 months. Well you couldn't tell. The food was incredible and the service was top notch as well.
