Typically, when people picture the state of New Mexico, many will imagine desert scenery, authentic Mexican cooking, and fiestas; they generally do not conjure images of French cafés and traditional French cuisine. However, Chef Jean Pierre Gozard has successfully brought authentic French food to Albuquerque, New Mexico by opening Le Troquet.

Known for its delectable, savory food, French culture has positioned itself within the culinary world as a leader in creating the perfect cuisine for fine dining. Using the freshest ingredients, finest wines, and enticing sauces, Chef Jean Pierre’s authentic French food is a one-of-a-kind dining experience.

During his upbringing in Burgundy, France, Chef Jean Pierre developed a love of cooking traditional French cuisine from his mother. He mastered his art by studying under several French chefs and learned the secrets of creating authentic French food. Now residing in Albuquerque, Chef Jean Pierre imparts his culinary genius by designing and reinventing his French food menu at Le Troquet.
