le troquet

came here for drinks for a friend's birthday. since i do not speak french, i found the fact that the server made 0 attempt to even try to understand me in english a little rude, as well as the menu not having any english translations. i also found the server didn't check in very often to see about drink refills.

i ended up ordering their nachos with chicken, which were tostitos scoops with a good amount of choose, and a bit of onion and green peppers, and chicken. there was a good amount of sour cream on the side, but i found there to be about 1/3rd of the salsa that should have been included.

i did have their sangria, which was reasonably priced and pretty tasty, so i have to give it points for that. but overall i wasn't terribly impressed.

i came here with a large group of coworkers for lunch. i had the shrimp salad. it was ok, the dressing was nothing special. the bread was average.

good lunch. i've only been there at lunch time and i was happy, it wasn't too expensive and they have a great selection of beers. if they have the same menu for dinner then you may find it disappointing.

perfect if you work in the area but nothing exceptional if you're not around.

went to let troquet for dessert and coffee because my fiancé remembered this place as a café. much more of a bar than café these days. specialty coffees were very good (we had irish coffee and calypso coffee) with lots of other options on the menu. limited dessert selection though.

great place. i've been going to le troquet on the regular for years now, they have an excellent selection of beer on tap ( including mystique, a quebec apple cider they have on tap. they also have their own house beer, troquet which is a bargain for $16 a pitcher, but has that unfortunate microbrew flavour)

their open concept kitchen is very clean, probably beacause they dont have a fryer or grill, which limits their menu, but is probably for the best, you can only eat so many chicken wings. my favorites are the bruschetta and the french onion soup. my only complaint is that they only have a white (seems like mozzarella) cheese that comes on everything, and while it may be good on the french onion soup it really bland and flavourless on nachos. a mixed cheddar would probably be more flavourful.

- they also have a red wine on tap they use for sangria
- le troquet literally translates to "the bar" in english
-they often host cool events, the concert and dj nights are fun, just make sure not to get stuck at troquet on a french poetry or art night, super boring.
-they also do great espresso and do a brisk take out business for those seeking a late lunch.
-in the summer they have an awesome back patio that can probably hold up to 50 and a front patio that can probably hold 20 seats or so.


definetly a place to be checked out, a hidden gem.

do not go places. food is definitely so-so, hate this area also. hit the market instead.

nice place to have a drink, good desserts. food is so so
