Le Relais de l'Entrecote - Boulevard Montparnasse

"I truly had an amazing experience here at all levels. I was originally a bit discouraged to visit since this is popular with tourists and often labeled a trap by French people. That was not my experience, I visited this location as I expected it to be less busy and it was, came around 7:30 pm, dining room was full but there was plenty of outdoor seating. I was greeted very warmly and taken care of very well by my friendly waitress. The food was great! As you know there’s no menu, I was glad that I ordered my steak medium and not rare, I had a true medium with plenty of red juiciness inside. I do prefer a nice char on my steaks, which I didn’t get here, but I can’t complain with such a generous portion of amazing sauce, plenty to use with most of your fries. I soaked some of bread with the secret sauce, not to mention the bread was spectacular! I’m not a fan of bread at all so that says a lot. The sauce is of course, to die for and they do give you a second serving of both steak and fries. I enjoyed the salad here more than when I first had it in their NYC location, the dressing on the salad here is much less pungent and the salad veggies were very fresh and crisp here. I had one glass of red wine and it was okay-tasting, I didn’t ask for the wine list so I assume I just got a basic red table wine. Total came up to 37 euros which I think is very reasonable for a two course meal with a drink. Seemingly a nice area and close to the metro. I had a craving for red meat and this place definitely hit the spot, highly recommend, I plan to come here at least once during each of my future trips to Paris."
