La Boheme

This is a wonderful find, hidden away in an arched cellar underneath the headquarters of Waterford Chamber of Commerce. It exudes a kind of effortless class, without delivering too big a hit to the wallet, and it uses local ingredients to create classic French flavors. The menu changes constantly, but typical dishes include organic Clare Island roast wild pheasant with spinach stuffing, or chargrilled filet of Aged Irish Hereford beef with béarnaise sauce. Service is slick, professional, and attentive; but this is not the kind of top-tier restaurant where you have to sit up straight, or feel shy about asking for help with the rather dizzying wine list. A worthwhile splurge.
