Au Troquet, Café-bistro in the 20th arrondissement, Paris, France
Au Troquet is a café-bistro set on a corner building in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, near the Porte de Bagnolet neighborhood. It serves classic French dishes such as beef tartare, duck confit, salads, and traditional desserts alongside coffee and simple snacks.
The place opened in December 2007, founded by Franck Esbrat, and has since been renovated to give it its current look as a corner bistro. It quickly became a regular meeting point for the surrounding neighborhood.
The café is open every day, including Sundays, and covers both lunch and dinner hours, making it easy to stop by at different times. The terrace stays open year-round, so outdoor seating is possible even in cooler months.
The café sits on a street corner, which gives it an unusually wide set of windows and views of the street life from multiple angles. This layout makes the inside noticeably brighter than most comparable bistros in Paris.
