My friend and I were so excited to dine here as the name led us to believe we may be getting to enjoy our favorite steak and pommés frites meal from a gem in Paris called l'entrecôte. The menu even made reference to eluded it was similar but when we saw the sauce on the steak we knew without tasting it, it was not the same. We ate it, it was fine but the steak was tough even though it was cooked fairly rare ( per our request) and thinly sliced. The sauce was salty; not my favorite. Despite my experience, I was surprised to see it was fairly busy for a Monday night; seemed to be popular with the after work crowd. It was my second steak dinner in Berlin and both were a bit disappointing and maybe I'm just spoiled with my steaks as I'm not used to eating a tough piece of meat as I prefer a marbled high quality steak such as a ribeye or tomahawk cut I will stick to braised meat in Germany going forward. If you go, try something other than steak. read more

Really excellent! We went first class: Caesar salad with 1/2 lobster, and a Chateaubriand. Lobster was not large, but delicious. The steak was a perfect medium-rare, and really good Bernaise. Oh the frites!! Matchstick fries, and a very generous amount! All of the food looked fabulous, and sitting outside was glorious on a summer's evening. Our service was very good, so no complaints from us. My wife has celiac and is totally Gluten-Free. This was the perfect restaurant for Celiacs...steak was safe, and they have an absolutely dedicated fryer for those amazing frites!!! Staff was aware and accommodating. I'm fact, I called before making the reservation and the chef himself got on the phone a spoke with me. Finding a safe GF place can be frustrating...here is a high-end restaurant that is safe. As a humorous aside: Entrecôte is across the street from the "Disgusting Food Museum." But don't be put off...it is obviously all in fun and makes for a good story!!! read more

It's a shame I can't give it the 4 stars the food deserves. We went without reservations and were told the wait would be an hour. We came back and were seated immediately indoors on a hot night. I would have preferred outdoors but admittedly didn't ask although there were tables available. I should have asked since to add to the annoying circumstances we watched 3 couples moved outdoors while we were waiting the hour for our main courses. Our drinks and appetizers were served quickly and were excellent. We then waited an hour for our main courses, a salad and steak tartare. While waiting, a table for 8 that arrived after us were all served their dinner while we waited. A salad and steak tartare are not time consuming to prepare which made it that much more annoying. We finally told them to just give us the check at which point they said it was too late since our meals were coming out. It would have been appropriate to at least apologize for the unacceptable wait but no, we couldn't have our check and no apologies. It really was a shame since the food was excellent and I probably would have returned if the service wasn't so deplorable. I've never left a bad review before, when I see them I immediately think there is always a cranky person that likes to leave bad reviews but that is not who I am. I understand that on a busy night service can be slow but it was only slow for us. As I said the food was excellent but you're taking your chances that you might have the same experience. read more

For some odd reason while visiting Germany, I suddenly got a craving for steak...think Le Relais de l'Entrecôte from Paris. I scoured yelp and lo' and behold, I came upon Entrecôte. While service is a bit on the slower side, everyone was extremely friendly. For the food: French onion soup - pretty solid soup. It wasn't the best that I've had, but it certainly hit the spot and was well made. Sirloin steak with schallot sauce - This dish was decent. The steak was good quality. The schallot sauce itself was a bit too tangy for me though. Grilled sliced sirloin with Fred's Herb Sauce - I enjoyed the sauce on this much more. It is similar to Le Relais so it hit the spot in terms of what I was craving. It wasn't quite as good as Le Relais, but I wasn't expecting apples to apples. Finish off your meat and fries and the server will glop you a second serving. The dish also comes with a side walnut salad. They dressed it with way too much vinaigrette, so much that it made my gums hurt from all the acid. Besides the salad, I give Entrecôte 4 stars for a solid experience. read more

A French establishment - come here for a French atmosphere, food, service against French music from the many decades of French superstars! The chef follows traditional recipes, delivering an authentic French experience. The only reason for 3 (and not 4 stars) is the pricing: against the price level of Berliner restaurants, this comes at a premium and unless you value Frenchness ever so highly, this is overpriced. read more

Entrecôte - Tarta de limón - French Near Me - Berlin, BE

I very much wanted to like this place. The wait staff are French and kind and the dishes and wine are authentic, but every dish missed. At these prices, the chef and staff should be fired: - The green salad was DRENCHED in dressing. It's a solid French mustard dressing, but the lettuce was swimming. Clearly a German on the garde a manger station. - Onion soup came with no fewer than 7 pieces of baguette under the layer of cheese (hope you'll still be hungry for the rest of your meal!) and did not have any beef in the broth (broth was yellow/clear instead of brown/red). Flavor and richness were lacking. - The frites are matchstick, which can be amazing, but mine were too thin, and so overdone. I saw others that looked slightly thicker and perfectly crisp, so it was probably just my misfortune. Had this been the only miss, I would not have mentioned it. - The duck confit arrives on top of a bed of sauerkraut, which seems to be a concession to local German tastes. It didn't complement the duck much in my opinion, and the duck was otherwise very good. - The chocolate mousse was extremely bitter (raw cacao?) and the Chantilly was dispensed from a store-bought can: limp and flavorless. For the price and aspiration of this establishment, I expect freshly whipped cream. C'mon, it's the easiest thing in the world to make and unforgivable for a French restaurant charging these prices. - Service was overall decent for Germany. They're popular on Sunday's because they're one of the only games in town that is open. They were also dealing with several large groups with the IFA convention in town, so tip o' the hat for that. Finally, it's LOUD in this shotgun with right angles everywhere, hard surfaces, mirrors, and zero sound baffling. read more

We came here for a networking dinner during a Berlin conference, and it was a great choice. Classic (dim but jovial lighting), professional (waiters in white aproned attire who served almost in sync), classy, and well-insulated so we could have decent conversation. As it was a group dinner, and a set menu, we were limited in choice. Having had my fill of steak and potatoes after a few days in Germany, I went with the vegetarian option: fettucine with mushrooms. I was the only one at my table who chose this option (and it was served well after my fellow conference attendees received their steaks), but it wasn't bad at all. I filched one of my colleague's fries (I can't let a good-looking fry go by), and confirm that it was perfectly cooked. According to him, the steak was also good. The starter salad was yummy but mostly unremarkable (we were served small portions with this set menu), and the caramelized panna cotta dessert was unnecessary. read more

After having waited in line at the Reichstag for several hours, I was more than ready for lunch. I found Entrecote in the Michelin Red guide, and it lived up to my expectations. The menu was extensive enough to satisfy every member of my sometimes picky group. I hate to admit that I loved their perfectly frit pommes frites. The sidewalk tables were popular, and we were fortunate to get the last one. Although upon taking a trip inside, I found that the interior tables would have been great too. The service was attentive. No complaints here. read more

Fresh food, simple preparation, nice atmosphere, fantastic service. We had a large group for dinner at Entrecôte and I wasn't sure they could pull this off, but they did. We weren't rushed and weren't abandoned. A variety of starters, all well prepared and delicious. The favorite was a frizzee and endive salad with beautiful lemon vinaigrette and baked chevre. The vinaigrette was superb and the chevre added an earthy layer of flavor and texture. Similarly, a variety of main's but tonight's highlight was asparagus with X, where X could be beef, salmon, pork or wiener schnitzel. Classic preparation with fresh local ingredients. It's spargle season in Germany and this dish was wonderful - Warm, perfectly cooked and served with butter or hollandaise. I had the schnitzel, excellent; served with lemon and capers, a nice acidic counterpoint to the veal. At the end, An excellent dessert selection and a delightful offering of cheese. The only drawback was the location of our table. Right next to the front door, kind of out of the way and didn't allow you to take in the ambiance of restaurant. But I'll be back. This was delightful. read more

I took my husband for his birthday to entrecôte & we had a wonderful time there. The waiters were very friendly and the food was delicious and totally worth the price. When we got there we got seated ( which isn't everywhere in Berlin the case), the waiter took our coats and brought the right ones back when we were about to leave and also the wine recommendation to the steak we had was an excellent choice. We really liked the fact that they paid attention to little details i.e. when our glasses were empty they refilled it or after we finished the salad they brought us new forks. We had plenty of bad experiences in Berlin so far, but gladly this wasn't one of them. :-) read more

With a focus on their meats, Entrecote do a wide range of the more simple French favorites (think Tatar, Scallops, Stroganoff, Creme Caramel etc.). Their cooking is competent, even the thinnest steaks were tender and more than edible, and their thinly cut fries delicious. Do treat yourself with their chocolate desserts: made with high quality Valrhona couverture, no corners are being cut here, and you can taste it! Popular, busy place where everyone eats multiple courses, deservedly so. read more

This is a very good straight forward French Restaurant They are all in all a bit on the spendy side but also have great simpler dishes which are at a fair price. If you are nearby and in the mood for a Great french meal I would highly recommend going here for Steak,frites and salad read more

Wow. Beyond our expectations. We are still eating the meal and I had to post. Steak was cooked perfectly. Great menu. A little expensive but well worth it. The steak tartar is the best in Berlin. My wife says so and she is a steak tartar aficionado. read more

Entrecôte - French Near Me - Berlin, BE

The restaurant is not big and tables are a little too close to each other. The service was attentive, but not very friendly, perhaps the main waiter was in a bad mood. The other waiter was much more friendly. Food excellent. I loved my duck confit, an excellent value at $16. The veal was much more expensive, but my friend loved it. Prices in general are on the high side, but worthwhile. I'll go back. read more

Beautiful interior and great food. We had the Foie Gras as a starter. Was good not great. Amateurish presentation with limp parsley and a sliced cherry tomato. We both had the Lamb. We ordered it rare and it was cooked perfectly. Six nice chops with haricot vert wrapped in bacon, served with an excellent potato gratin in a small dish on the side. Was really delicious. We ordered an inexpensive bottle of red from the Languedoc. The only sour point was the service. I felt like we were treated like tourists who didn't know anything. The server tried to upsell us through out the meal. Dessert was also quite good. read more

This place is right out of Paris - clean and well decorated, very fancy wait staff all speaking French, and a luxurious menu. But the name is Entrecôte and this is what you should order - the 'menu classic' is absolutely delicious and exactly what a traditional entrecôte should be. For Berlin a little pricey but for Mitte it's really ok. read more

We were hungry after a long day of sightseeing. Looked to Yelp to help us find a good restaurant. Excited to try this restaurant. Although restaurant only appeared half full, we were told they were full. Wouldn't sets us at empty bar or at near empty outside table. read more

Overall it's good. I don't think u can miss with anything on the menu. its not the best example of any of the dishes iv ever had but its also not bad. If your in Berlin and want a taste of Paris i would say go here its as close as your gonna get without heading to France. read more

My family and I did a trip to Europe this summer and went to many great restaurants. Entrecôte was one of my favorites. We started with the oyster which we're impeccable, then we got the escargot which were very good. For my entree, I got the Steak tartare which might be the best steak tartare I've ever had. Then I finished with an unbelievable creme brûlée. In my opinion, a must-go in Berlin. It was so good we went twice in the three nights we spent in Berlin. read more

This is a really cozy French restaurant near to all the tourist attractions. Still, there are any locals here as the service is perfect and their food and wine collection is on a very high level. Be sure to make a reservation. read more

Really great service here. Or maybe I'm getting so used to "Berlin, worst restaurant service city on the planet" that I'm easily impressed. But even comparing it to places in Paris, the service here was really good. I've been horrifically spoiled by steaks in New York, Texas, Tokyo, Portland and Los Angeles and the menu was mostly steak options as I recall, at least that's what I had. Certainly not the best in the world or anything, but it was very good. The experience was well worth the money, and the fabulous service was a joy. read more

French food in the heart of Berlin. It was full of big groups, so I guess this is the place for team dinners or reunions. Food was decent, atmosphere was plain but warm. I was also jet lagged, so dim lighting was not in my favor. read more

Oh how i miss Good Service in Berlin! ..Luckily this place is a rare example of good service. Eve-ry-thing was absolument charmant! Good food (the name suggests they are stronger in meats than in seafood so don't expect the lobster to be the same as the one you had last year in Brisbane), good selection of wines, relaxed atmosphere and ahhhh the staff! Service was super nice and unobtrusive. Please let Berlin have more places like this. Merci beaucoup et a bien tot! ps: 4 stars cause there's always room for improvement ;) read more

We reserved in advance for 21:00 on a Saturday night. When we came we needed to wait. We got seated at 21:35. They did not offer any curtesy drink for the long wait. First course we ordered onion soup and Foie gras. The soup was not good. The Foie gras o.k. Nothing to write home about. For main course we ordered the entrecôte. We waited for one hour until we got it. One came cold. The other one ok. Other then that the entrecôte was good. The sides, French fries, not good at all. They also have very small choice of beer selection. No air condition inside . Although pretty cold night, very hot inside. read more

This is one of the best French restaurants in Berlin. My first thought was that because this was so close to where I lived, it would not be worth the time. But after a review from a fellow member here. I decided to give it a try. And what a try, the main course took some time, but the atmosphere and service made up this without problems. If you are in the vicinity, and are searching for a good meal, and a great atmosphere. This is the place. read more
