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 surprising French gem in the heart of Albuquerque. I had walked by many times but finally made it in last month and it didn’t disappoint. On par with any bistrot I have visited in Paris, the food was amazing, wine perfect and service excellent. I had the frog legs and sole and both were amazing. I will be back!

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.

We had an above and beyond experience at Le Troquet. The food was delicious and seasoned perfectly. Our waiter went above and beyond to make my birthday dinner super special & delivered the best customer service-even took pictures of us!!!

Outstanding little French bistro in the heart of ABQ. Despite walking in 45 minutes before closing the manager warmly greeted us. Food was great, service was top notch, and I would happily return.

Outstanding seafood! Good bread. Nice wine list. Incredible desserts. Fantastic service. Terrific atmosphere Exactly what we were looking for: escargot, preferably in a French restaurant. Le Troquet delivered and then some!

Well, the atmosphere was very nice. Other than that...im sorry...but nope. I was very much looking forward to going here as my girlfriend has been wanting to try it out, but as the menu is seasonal, she was fearful. I ordered the rack of lamb, and my alarm bells should have gone nuts when I ordered a Guiness first, then asked if that beer would go well with the lamb and he replied "its a very very light type of beer so you should be fine." Guiness. Light? Ohhhhhh kayyyy. Im not sophisticated enough to know what goes with what..but pretty much any joe off the street knows Guiness(i just know im spelling it wrong) is NOT "light". Oh, and no wine list because they are "redoing" it. Which....happens i guess. Anywayyyyyyy. The lamb was myah. A little fatty but decent. The potatoes, which were a mashed type, looked fancy but were ice cold. The carrots were tasty! Lol. My girlfriend ordered the wagyu beef and crab cake. From bite one she disliked it. It wasn't just rare...it was barely cooked at all and also cold, and honestly...I have strong doubts it was even wagyu. 90 clams for that plate. I do NOT like saying bad stuff about places. I realize some folks work hard and some put their heart and back into the job. I just....fortunately this place has been checked off "must try" list and unfortunately landed on the "do not return". Total bill with 2 wines and a beer, we passed on and aprox 20% tip, 235$. We passed on dessert.
