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 aplaceto be checked out, a hidden gem.
