What people say

"Le Relais de l’Entrecôte is a fantastic French restaurant and definitely one of the best choices for steak in Paris. The concept is very simple, but that is exactly what makes the experience special. There is no complicated menu; they only ask how you would like your steak cooked and what you would like to drink. The meal starts with a fresh and delicious walnut salad, which is served before the main course. It was simple, light, and full of flavour. After that, they bring the first round of steak with chips, and when you finish, they bring a second hot round. This is an amazing idea because it keeps the food fresh, warm, and enjoyable from beginning to end. The steak was really delicious, cooked perfectly, and served with their special sauce, which made it even better. The chips were crispy and tasty, and the whole meal felt very satisfying. It is a fantastic place to enjoy a proper steak meal in Paris. After the steak, we also tried a French dessert, and it was amazing. It was rich, beautifully served, and a perfect way to finish the meal. The service was also great. The staff were fast, calm, polite, and always served us with a happy face. Overall, Le Relais de l’Entrecôte was a wonderful experience with delicious food, a simple but smart concept, excellent service, and a very enjoyable atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to eat steak in Paris."
