We stopped in for lunch and we were pleased with our dining experience. The ambiance is reminiscent of a small cafe you'd see in France. There was a French speaking person should a translator was needed. The menu was simple but each item was prepared to perfection with the right amount of flavouring, there was not need for added salt and pepper at the table.
We tried the following:
Appetiser: Smoked Fish Platter (smoked salmon, smoked trout, candied onions with their own prepared gourmet tartar with toasted baguette)
Entree: Grilled Pork Tenderloin and the special Chicken Cordon Bleu. Both were flavourful and tender!
Overall, we were pleased and a place to try for either lunch or dinner.

Went for my birthday, returning for our anniversary. I loved the food on my first visit, and have been hoping to return ever since. Everything was cooked to perfection, the bread is delicious, I had scallops (had been craving em for months) they were big enough for just a few to be filling with the thoughfully portioned rice and veggies. The steak and fries my boyfriend ordered were also magnifique. I will order creme brulee anywhere that serves it, but theirs is above and beyond.
Make a reservation! We made a reservation a few days in advance, and didn't wait more than a minute or two to be seated. Customers who came in without reservations were also seated while we were there, but be aware there are about 10 tables or less, depending on party sizes, so I wouldn't walk in off the street expecting to be guaranteed a table.
Je t'aime les restaurants fraçais! Je visite la ville de Cannes en 2018, et j'etudie français tous le jours pour cinq ans maintenant. Le chef du Le Troquet est tres bien, c'est mon restaurant préféré en Nouveau Mexique.
Update: went for brunch. Mimosa bar (a bottle if rose, juice n 2 flutes) was 25$ and plenty for 2. I had a vegetarian crepe, the bf had the steak and fries again (he loves it). Ashley was our server, he is very kind, thoughtful and very BUSY! He's serving all the tables as well as answerimg the phone but takes time to make sure everything comes out perfect. MERCI to Ashley & Le Troquet, compliments to the chef and the sous chef!😊
Great Christmas Eve dinner celebrating my daughter’s birthday. We have done this for five years. Menu is excellent but limited. Chilean sea bass was great along with crab risotto appetizer. Great service; fun serving staff. Place is small but excellent.
Le Troquet Bistro in downtown Albuquerque is one of the best in fine dining cuisine.
The ambiance will have you feeling like you just arrived in Paris, the service is outstanding and Chef Jean Pierre concocts some of the best dishes around. I tried a little bit of everything, starting with an appetizer and ending with dessert. It was all amazing!
I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Le Troquet!
The food and atmosphere here are excellent! The bread is one of the best I've ever received in a restaurant of any type. Everyone's food was well presented and well received. We waited a long time to order and to get refills at times, but the rest of the experience was great. The place is small, but beautiful and you definitely don't feel like you're in Albuquerque anymore. I'll definitely go back.
I had my engagement dinner here and let me tell you how much I loved this restaurant, the staff, and the service. Everything was perfect and they even set up 2 vegan dishes for us off menu. This is one of the best restaurants in Albuqurque, it is intimate with amazing food. Everything is portioned generously and tastes amazing. The Shrimp Alfredo, Trout, and Steak w/ Crab Cakes were especially a huge hit. They made an important evening unforgettable, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough if you are looking for an intimate venue for a work party, engagement party, or any other event. Best french food and service deserving of a Michelin star.
The atmosphere here is amazing! Going here you almost forget you’re in Albuquerque! They do really well to make it feel like France. Not only that but the service here is always amazing, they call you by name and are there to ensure that your experience is the best! It is a very romantic atmosphere , now the food is also amazing! Great flavor! Definitely the best place for a specific celebration. I highly recommend the escargot! And you cannot go wrong with the steak!
I recently went here with my girlfriend for our anniversary and everything was absolutely wonderful! The food was insanely good and my beef Wellington was cooked perfectly.
The service was quick and the staff was friendly and professional! They took care of us incredibly well and our food came out incredibly fast. We also got the chocolate mouse which was super good! The atmosphere was intimate and very quaint. It felt cozy yet refined. We will be back for another special occasion!
My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at LE TROQUET. For appetizers, she ordered the Onion Soup and I ordered the Calamari; she said the onion soup was one of the best she ever tasted, and my calamari was mouth-watering in a tasty creamy sauce. For entrees, she ordered the Filet En Croute and I ordered the Trout Amandine. Her well-crusted filet was super tender and delicious, with a surprising layer of pate that provided an unexpected but well-balanced flavor. My trout amandine was perfectly cooked - but it was swimming in too much almond butter sauce that was rich and velvety but overwhelming the delicate flavor of the fish; I just moved my fish aside. The vegetable sides on both dishes were perfectly cooked. For dessert, we shared a Profiteroles - it was a sinfully delightful treat. The ambience was very cozy and romantic, service was excellent, and prices were reasonable for such high quality of food. Very highly recommended, even though the tables are very close together.
Was able to get a reservation for this past Friday 11/3/2023. we had Esperanza as our server and she was amazing and went above and beyond with recommendations and just over all wonderful service !! Another server named Ash was also helping around and he was such help also ! The food was phenomenal, Ordered the Filet En Croute with the chocolate mousse for dessert, the chefs in that kitchen know what they're doing. Couldn't recommend enough !!
