Le Quai Bistrot Français

So pleased to have this surprising gem in Waterford! Our first experience here was phenomenal. A warm, relaxed atmosphere, great service and excellent food from appetizer through desert. My wife and I will surely return soon.

My husband and I tried out Le Quai Bistrot Français in Waterford tonight. The ambiance, food, and staff were all incredible! We tried the pate, lamb, and duck. Everything was delicious, but the duck with cherries and apples was out of this world! My husband especially loved the butter that was served with (warm!) bread. I’m hoping this will be our date night spot for many years to come!

If you're looking for an authentic French dining experience in the Capital Region, look no further than Le Quai Bistrot Français. From the moment you walk in the door, you're transported to a cozy bistro in Paris, with a Moroccan touch, with charming decor and warm lighting that sets the mood perfectly for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends.

One of the highlights of our meal at Le Quai Bistrot Français was undoubtedly the wine list. The selection of French wines was extensive and impressive, and our server Robert was extremely knowledgeable about each one. We were able to find the perfect bottle to pair with our meal, which really enhanced the overall experience.

As for the food, every dish we tried was outstanding. For our appetizer, we ordered the escargot, which were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The garlic butter cognac mushroom sauce was rich and flavorful, and we couldn't help but sop it up with slices of crusty baguette.

For our entrees, I opted for the braised lamb shank, while my wife went with the veal. Both dishes were cooked to perfection, with tender, juicy meat that practically melted in our mouths. The accompanying sides were equally delicious, from the creamy mashed potatoes to the sautéed vegetables.

Throughout our meal, the service was impeccable. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, making us feel right at home. And despite the upscale atmosphere and high-quality food, the prices were quite reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of the experience.

Overall, we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience at Le Quai Bistrot Français. From the exceptional wine list to the delicious food and impeccable service, it's clear that this restaurant takes pride in every aspect of the dining experience. Whether you're a Francophile or just looking for a great meal, we highly recommend giving Le Quai Bistrot Français a try.

We had the pleasure to stop at the this brand new restaurant located in Waterford. The food and wine selection were excellent, along with the music. We will definitely be back for another excellent meal. Congratulations to Chef Mo and Bon appétit for everyone else.

The best creme brulee I've ever eaten in my life. Great experience in Waterford

I had the pleasure to take my lovely wife out on a date night here a Le Quai. Mo, chef and owner of the restaurant asked if we would want to come to a soft opening of his restaurant... I took him up on his offer and I'm glad we did.

Mo has been all over the world and has learned alot over time and brings his knowledge and experience to his restaurant and with his dishes he prepares. The menu will change on a continual bases due to everything is fresh. His menu will be posted by Tuesday every week on his Facebook page. He's only open Wednesday thru Saturdays from 5 till 9.

Parking for the restaurant is along the street, as well as a parking lot across the street.

The restaurant is very quaint and elegant. It has that Bistro appeal with soft music and dim lighting. You are greeted at the door and sat. Served with bagettes and pâté. We order from his very nice elegant assortment of wines. A Red Blend from Portagul.

We order French onion soup and the aspargus salad for our appetizers. The French Onion soup was to die for!! Perfect in everyway...Not to sweet, not watered down or to thick...the beef broth was all homemade and brillant to the taste buds. The Asapargus salad was pleasantly simple but exploded with taste. Nice citrus favor and the asapargus was fresh.

The main course...she had Poulet Marocain (Chicken Tagine) with vegetable couscous. I had the Jarret d'Agneau (Lamb Shank) with mixed vegetables in a beef broth sauce. Both meats were so tender, you literally just used your fork. It came apart that easily and melted in your mouth.

Dessert was the cherry on top! Tarte tatin and Creme brulee. Tarte tatin is a classic apple tarts (tartes aux pommes) usually come in pretty crusts, sometimes filled with “compote” (apple sauce) or frangipane (almond cream), are topped with neat apple slivers, baked to golden perfection and often finished up with a shiny apple or apricot glaze. The apples were crisp and tart. (explaination off of the web) The Creme brulee was cooked to perfection.... The melted sugar cracked with the gentle tap of the spoon and the custard was elegant to taste.

So if you are looking for a new experience and help support a NEW Local restaurant for a nice date night with the wife or girlfriend. I would defiantly recommend coming to Le Quai!

Thank you Mo for allowing us to experience this very special occasion. We will be coming back. Congrats on your new endeavor!
