Le Quai Bistrot Français

Great atmosphere, service is phenomenal & food was amazing. Started off with mixed green salad with a great vinaigrette, main course had the Boeuf Bourguignon, it was so tender could cut with fork and the flavor was out of this world. Finished off with Vacherin which was a perfect ending to an amazing meal. Compliments to the Chef, and to our host Elizabeth for making us feel so at home. Highly recommend!!!

Le Quai Bistrot Français offers a great overall dining experience. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is excellent—perfect for a relaxed, classy meal. However, the prices are quite high, and the portion sizes don’t always feel worth the cost. Still, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for quality French cuisine in a lovely setting.

Went with a group of friends and we did share plates. Solid appetizers and entrees all around. Escargot was new for me, but it was quite tasty. I loved the grilled squid over arugula salad; the dressing was so light and refreshing on the fresh arugula. Squid was cooked to perfection. My main entree was the braised lamb shank. This thing was huge and falling apart from the bone! Very tender, and reminded me of the beef stew I make. Perfect! Definitely meant to share. Halibut was great as well, though I'm a sucker for capers and the duck was delicious too, and of course the desserts were spot on. Highly recommended for a date night and special occasions. The staff were attentive and the owner even personally greeted us. I am a fan of the atmosphere and the service that they provided. Lovely night.

Gourmet. Not an inexpensive place to go, but priced right for the high quality and Gourmet food you get. Every dish, appetizer and desert was spot on in taste and presentation. Service was great. I would describe the atmosphere as quant with a touch of upscale,

What a gem! This was our first visit. We'll be returning often. My husband and I shared the grilled octopus to start. It was tender and tasty on a bed of arugula. We ordered rabbit and monk fish, which were the specials. Both dishes were cooked to perfection. The monk fish was baked in a tagine pot, drawing on the chef's Moroccan influence, and the juices were still bubbling when it was served. I'm not sure how he captured such a variety of flavors in one simple dish. The service was friendly and professional. Our waitress recommended a bone dry Riesling that was perfect for the dish. The atmosphere is simple, beautiful, warm, and inviting. Le Quai is a wonderful find. I know we'll be going back soon and often.

This may be the best restaurant experience in the capital region - the food is amazing and it’s seriously off the beaten path - who would even think to go to Waterford to get authentic French food? It consistently blows people away when I take them here. Cool, friendly and they treat you like royalty - and then the food is just is incredible. Can’t ask for more than that.

Our first visit to Le Quai was within weeks of opening. Absolutely fabulous. Hard to believe since then they've polished this gem so it shines even brighter. Example - an extensive and exceptional wine list. Since losing Provence, Chez Nous and other French restaurants this is the finest French prepared recipes we've had since Paris. I could go on and on but my recommendation is go, meet Robert and enjoy great atmosphere, conversation and of course a true French Bistro dining experience.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience, start to finish. Great wine selection, savory appetizers, incredible main course, and dessert was delicious! We cannot wait to come back, what a great little gem in Waterford.
