More information on Troquet
Troquet is French slang for "small wine cafe," and it's a good name for this sophisticated two-level restaurant. The second-floor dining room overlooks Boston Common, and the ground floor is a lounge that serves "creative cocktails" and small plates to a chic after-work and pre- and post-theater crowd. Troquet offers 40-plus wines by the 2- or 4-ounce glass and hundreds more by the bottle. Because the markup is lower than usual, sampling several selections is surprisingly affordable. The menu recommends pairings, and you'll want just the right thing to complement the exceptional cuisine, which emphasizes seasonal ingredients and never overwhelms the wine. The word that keeps coming back to me is subtle -- a salad of beet terrine over baby greens was flavorful but not overpowering; pan-roasted rib steak with root vegetables and potato purée was rich and earthy; panko-crusted cod seemed perfumed rather than punched up with red curry and kaffir lime. Best of all, whether you're a novice or a pro, the staff offers as much wine advice as you need. I'll offer some dessert advice: chocolate fondant cake. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
