A lively Parisian bistro serving hearty Basque-leaning classics with standout steaks and fish, strong hospitality for most, premium pricing, and a strict full-meal policy that frustrates some diners.
La Cantine du Troquet Daguerre delivers solid neighborhood bistro dining with strong food quality anchored by reliably excellent steaks and plancha fish, supported by attentive, welcoming service. However, quality variation in desserts and occasional cooking lapses prevent grade A-level consistency, while tight quarters and no-reservations seating friction limit the overall experience. Worth visiting for hearty, ingredient-driven French bistro fare, but premium pricing and operational constraints keep it competitive rather than exceptional.
One caveat: Pricing is on the high side for a canteen-style room; portions can feel modest
