Trusted reviews
- Meg Zimbeck (2009) “…a generous table where you can eat and drink big for €30-35 and with restraint for around €20. Safe choices like roasted chicken and steak frites coexist with more adventurous nose-to-tail preparations.”
- Thierry Richard (2008) “dans l’assiette, la candeur des intitulés rejoint le bonheur de saveurs claires et de produits de belle origine. L’œuf-mayo un peu corsé devrait rentrer direct dans le palmarès de Claude Lebey et de l’ASOM (Association de Sauvegarde de l’Oeuf-Mayonnaise), la terrine de boudin et sa petite salade relevée d’une vinaigrette au basilic vous arrache des soupirs, la poitrine de porc craque sournoisement sous la dent…”

A very good feed in an unexpected location.
I’m glad it’s holding up; in August 2008 I went several times and thought for “country food” it was an 8 and for city snobs a 5.5 http://johntalbottsparis.typepad.com/john_talbotts_paris/2008/08/la-cantine-du-troquet—whoa-not-wow-but-maybe-both.html
