One of the best meals I've had in ages. I had the pork tenderloin, my wife had the scallops. The pork was fantastic, but the scallops were unbelievable, she's so much smarter than me. Desert was great, just an amazing place.
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.

Had to wait outside in the heat for 15 minutes when tables were open and we had a reservation. Dessert puffed pastries obviously frozen - did not taste good. And my son's mousse tasted like pudding. The AC did not seem like it was working. I was hot all dinner long. Service was slow. Escargot not enough garlic, very plain. Told us the special was cod then 30 minutes later told my son they ran out of cod what else would he like? Pate seemed old. And expensive. Super sad. Worst dinner of our week vacation.
From start to finish, our entire experience here was fantastic! The restaurant itself is very small and feels intimate which we enjoyed. Our waiter was perfectly attentive, knowledgeable, and had some fantastic recommendations for us! My fiancé and I each had an appetizer, entree, and shared a dessert, and each course was fabulous. I couldn’t recommend this place more highly, if you’re in Albuquerque make yourself a reservation here, you won’t regret it!
The menu had a good selection of dishes, with several fish options. We all had the sole, which was delicious .
Great Food & Service !Seems pretty pricey until you taste it. Worth every penny.The only negative I have is , how can I be happy with anything else I eat again?!Amazing must try
A truly memorable experience and a hidden gem in downtown Albuquerque. It would be very easy to overlook this place. I think the ownership has done a great job keeping the exterior very understated. The inside is quaint and beautiful and the food is absolutely delicious. I got to attend a private party where a vendor at a conference it was attending rented the restaurant out. We got to try everything from the lovely potato leek soup to lamb chops and escargot. They also have a great selection of French lager beers. Highly recommended!
Definitely a hidden gem in town. We recently had a date night here and it was great. The service was amazing and the food was great as well. Everything came out fresh as well as hot and tasty. Servers were knowledgable about the menu and gave great wine recommendations. Seating is limited so definitely make reservations ahead of time. We can't wait to go back again.
Wonderful atmosphere & great food.
