This was a gem of a find in Albi - I thought the prices for the menu du jour (19€) was super…read morereasonable and such a good value for the quality and quantity of food that you get. You can also get a slightly different menu for 25€ that has a different appetizer and dessert and a fish or meat, which is a good price for a 3-course meal. For the one reviewer that obviously hasn't eaten at many places in France and complained there were not a lot of options on the menu du jour and that the service was slow, well, welcome to France. That's just the way it is. Most places have only one option for the menu of the day, but it works because the food is fresh; there's a slightly higher priced option if you want beef or a different appetizer. Between the 4 of us dining together, we got 2 of the menu du jour and 2 of the slightly higher priced options so we could try more dishes. Appetizers: - Tuna and sun dried tomato muffins - These were surprisingly good! Not salty, and a good savory muffin to start off the meal. This was included in the menu du jour. - Shrimp and Seafood appetizer - This was on the 25€ menu and it was delicious. Kind of like a seafood bisque mousse topped with little clams and shrimp. If you like seafood, this is a good pick and it went well with the pieces of bread. - Escargot and vegetables in a puff pastry - My Dad got this and we all loved it. Also on the slightly higher priced menu but worth it for a unique dish. Plat: - Cabillaud / Cod - This was in a butter-orange sauce and it was good. I've had a lot of cod dishes in the last week and this was probably not my favorite of the bunch probably because the texture of the fish wasn't very flaky and it felt a bit flat. The vegetables were really good, but I thought the steak was better than the cod. - Steak / Boeuf - Definitely one of the best pieces of steak I've had in France. The meat was good quality and the sauce was perfect. I loved this dish and would highly recommend getting this if you like steak. Desserts: - Cafe Gourmand - If you like a little bit of variety with your desserts, this is a good option. It had a little apple cake, apples wrapped in a phyllo pastry, and a crunchy almond cookie topped with cinnamon ice cream. It was all delicious and tasted fresh and homemade. - Flan de Pomme - This came with the menu du jour and it was delicious! A cross between a bread pudding, custardy cake and came with an apple compote. So unique, not too sweet, and just a perfect dessert. All in all, we had such a great meal here. The service was a bit slow but they may not have had enough chefs in the back making food, so we got to enjoy a nice leisurely lunch. We ended up having a lunch that was 2.5 hours, so if you're in a rush, just grab a sandwich or some other faster food elsewhere. If you have time and want to have high quality food at reasonable prices (especially for the menu du jour for lunch), this is an excellent choice. I would normally have given this place 5 stars if the lunch had been about 2 hrs long, but it was more like 2.5 hrs or just shy of 3 hours because it took them so long at the beginning to give us water, take our order, etc. I would definitely come back here again if I were in Albi during lunch, as the menu du jour is an excellent value at 19€. The slightly higher priced one at 25€ is also a good deal.

Went here for lunch. We should have been wary because the chalkboard advertising the lunch specials…read moreneglected to mention prices. Only when we sat down and ordered beverages did we see the prices on the menu, which were a bit higher than we anticipated. But, fine, we should have been more inquisitive. They had two levels of lunch menu. The more expensive one (at the level of a nice dinner menu at other restaurants) had a number of options. The more reasonable one had no choices for entree, plat principal, or dessert, just a choice of which of those 3 you'd like to order. I don't understand why they couldn't have had at least two options for entree and plat principal; most other restaurants do that. On the day we went, it was an oxtail gelatin for appetizer, cod in a sauce for lunch, and a hot fromage blanc with stewed apricot. I got all three and they were all tasty, but my husband wouldn't get the appetizer because gelatinized meat grosses him out. Again, why wasn't there a choice? Service was SLOW. Considering that they were serving the same dishes to everyone, there wasn't much of a reason for this, especially since the restaurant wasn't all that busy. The waitress took our dessert and coffee orders at the same time, but coffee came out a full 20 minutes after we had finished eating the dessert. There was hardly anyone left by that time. What was the delay? If you want to come out for a very nice dinner, this is probably a good, but pricy, place. But it's not appropriate for lunch and you're paying extra just for the renown of the location, so I'd rate it as a tourist trap.

Thanks goodness we have family living here and they know the people here, so we got a table for 15 pp, no problem ( the max is for 8 persons ) they took the drinks orders and how you want your steaks done,l. The butter lettuce salad with walnuts is standard, then they served us the sliced steaks and fries. The remainder of the steaks is served on a hot platter with sterno, and you just helped yourself. They brought more fries, all you can eat fries!! The sauce is the star of the meal, I love this sauce so much I put it even on the fries. Desserts are usually profiteroles au chocolat, there are others too, but we were so full we only ordered coffee and some profiteroles to share. The room immediately filled up for the first seating.

This place is a tourist trap. We'd been in Toulouse for three days and all our meal experiences had…read morebeen wonderful. There are so many excellent choices right around there (our hotel was just a couple blocks from L'Entrecote) and luckily we had chosen widely. I try to do research for every place we decide to go but we had been avoiding L'Entrecote because of the long lines....on the 3rd nite we were frantically looking for a place as the one we had chosen was way too busy. We happened to pass L'Entrecote and miraculously there was no one there! So we decided to try it on the spot, not knowing anything about it. We were ushered very quickly all the way to the back (even though there were plenty of tables up front as it was not busy) behind the service station and near the kitchen. Not knowing this place was a one-meal prix-fixe menu, we didn't get a chance to even ask the waitress anything before she immediately placed salads in front of us. I asked in my best broken French (we always try to speak French at first..it almost always seemed to soften the situation and most servers/staff would be very friendly from that point) if we could see a menu and she became very rude and rolled her eyes--heavily--and asked WHY?! I tried telling her that I'd like to see the choices but then she went off on me in what I can only gather was the explanation of the fact that there were no choices. But she pulled out a little menu and then we saw--for the first time--what this place was all about. Steak frites and salad, and that's it! Which isn't a bad thing, it's just not what we wanted (and for comparison to all the lovely places around us, it was quite expensive!)...we'd had that the night before at this LOVELY place where they were all so friendly, even though we slipped in just before the kitchen closed...ANYWAY...after she practically threw the menu at me she turned to leave, visibly laughing and rolling her eyes at us. At that point, I no longer wanted to eat there, but we had salads in front of us... My husband is very cognizant of not wanting to make a scene, so he was getting pretty upset himself... Finally, one nice waiter had been watching the scene unfold and came up to us to see if there was anything he could do... I told him we just wanted to pay for whatever we had eaten (even though I hadn't touched my salad because I did not want to eat anything at that point, but we did have some glasses of wine) and after speaking with his boss, he came back and said we could pay for the wine and leave. And that is just what we did. Clearly, this place is nothing but a tourist trap as it has been around a long time, and it's fairly well known for what it is and what they do. However, I did not know this, and the fact that our waitress was the classic bitchy French server, we had not experienced that at all during the three days we've already been there. We may as well have been at Fishermans Wharf or the Cheesecake Factory, because that's what it was...a factory. I will never go back there if I'm ever in Toulouse again.
