Le Troquet

"Dining with my Parisian spouse, we felt very much at home here. He had the escargots and I had the beet salad. Both were the most authentic samples of true French cuisine. The desserts were magnifique! It's a small space that offers the best taste of France."

"A small gem in Albuquerque's downtown. Seating for around 20 people so get a reservation. The menu online is an example, they change the menu every week depending on which fresh food is available. The wine list is very limited, 2 whites and 2 reds. However, the wines are good quality French wines. Expected to pay $15 to $20 per glass. For appetizers we had the calamari and potato leek soup. Both were well prepared and flavorful. Our main courses were the pork Masala and the Lamb. Both came with mashed potatoes, slices carrots, and brussel sprouts. All were very well prepared. The atmosphere was pleasant mimicing a small French cafe, the music was quite and tended to be from the 40s and 50s with no vocals. Our server was attentive and cleared plates very soon after we were done with each part of the meal. With 3 glasses of wine (we shared one), 2 appetizers, and 2 entrees, we spent $190 for the evening. A very pleasant evening and well worth the cost."

"We had an almost good meal at Le Troquet! The escargot was buttery and delicious ( a bit unflavoured), and both the lamb rack and trout were flavorful and well-cooked. The frog legs were a miss — undercooked and not seasoned, but the staff handled it really well and took it off our bill. We also enjoyed the cozy vibe of the place."
