Rare - is better
Frank T.

Ok, it's good. We get it. Democratically wait on a line like everyone else. Get your mustard-dressed walnut salad, get your sirloin steak drenched in their curry chimichurri, get your fresh fries. If you're indulgent and want more, you can have some more. Figure out a desert. Pay the bill (no Amex), and try and squeeze out of the table with a few centimeters between you and your fellow diners. Choices for temp on the steak are rare, medium, or well done. If you like medium rare, just go for rare - it brings out a beefier taste. Service is super pleasant, the hardened pros these ladies are, who know their role in keeping everyone moving along, with a charming smile. I actually really enjoyed the efficient process of this meal, despite how paradoxical it seems for a dining experience. Oh, and lots of happy birthdays - felt like Lugers on a Saturday night, but with female servers - and it was a Thursday night.

Steak and fries
Amber C.

I can see why this place is very popular and always busy! We had to wait outside for over an hour for dinner. There isn't much covering for those waiting in line, so we were lucky that it wasn't hot, but unfortunately it was raining (although we did have umbrellas). The restaurant is also super crowded, so just be aware that you might need to be careful moving around. The food was really delicious! The fries were freshly fried and warmed up on the side after being fried. The sauce for the steak was so good too. To me it tasted like there was some curry or cumin powder, but other family members disagreed, so not entirely sure. I don't remember what they said was the suggested/original way to order the steak but it was so tender and juicy. They do a refill of your steak and fries too after you've eaten it, which is a huge plus in my opinion. The desserts looked really good too but I didn't get to try any.

Sidewalk dining

Come early, come hungry! You'll see a zillion Instagram reels about this place and the hype is real! We arrived at opening (18:30) on Sunday evening and the line was around the corner. There is no seating in line other than the curb or a few window sills so wear comfortable shoes. We were seated around 20:00 and the meal was worth the wait. Wine is offered by the bottle or the glass. The salad is has a mustard based dressing which was flavorful but not overpowering. The star of the dinner is the steak and frites. You will receive up to two servings of each. For the steak you may choose rare, medium, or well. The sauce is the hit as it adds tremendous flavor to the already tender steak. Save some room for dessert. The chocolate profiteroles were similar to mini-eclairs with their decadent chocolate and cream filling. The interior has a bar showing their wines and desserts. Waitresses wear classic black dresses with white aprons. About the only negative is the wait - unless you show up well before opening you could easily wait 90-120 minutes for a table. You'll also be directed to your table so you have a low probability of outdoor seating (our table was at an open slider, adjacent to the sidewalk). If you hope to do anything after dinner (even just see the Eiffel Tower lit up and sparkle), come early. We arrived at 18:30, sat at 20:00, and left after 21:30. But the meal and the experience were well worth the time!

Steak and frittes
Melissa S.

It is completely worth the wait. We waited about 90 Minutes for our table and the line was around the corner. But they move people through pretty quickly! I can't describe the wine. It was a white but it wasn't sweet or dry. Very neutral. Is that a thing with wine? So you start with a salad with a mustard tasting dressing? It wasn't my cup of tea, but Mr S loved it. The meal itself is steak with a green chimichuri sauce and frittes (French fries for the US). They were hot and tasty right out of the oven and so good. You get 1 refill of the steak and frittes. Had I been offered more I probably would have eaten it and then had a tummy ache later, so it's good they stopped. Dessert is extra and it was really good! Kind of ice cream in a pastry and with chocolate sauce. Overall ,well worth the wait!!

This was the first restaurant my wife and I stopped at when we landed in Paris because of the recommendations from our friends. Granted, we waited for about an hour and a half, and it was definitely worth the wait! Once we were seated, we were provided with great hospitality service from the waitress. It's funny because the first thing they ask is how would you like your steak because they only know tourists are coming here for the steak or I also think that's all they serve lol. The meat was really soft and tender, and the sauce paired with it was amazing along with their fries. You might not know this, but if you stick around long enough, they will give you a second serving for free! We really enjoyed our night and our first dinner. We literally sat here for about an hour and a half to two and really enjoyed the meal. Service is amazing and we really enjoyed their desserts. The sorbet and the caramel Brulé is a must!

Steak and frites with that yummy sauce!
Judy M.

When a restaurant only has one main dish on the menu, it'd better be good! I had heard of this place but on our last day, we actually just stumbled upon this restaurant because it wasn't far from us around lunchtime. We arrived around shortly after 12:00pm and there was already a line around the corner, and folks being seated inside. We didn't wait long to be seated. Come early for lunch around noon, or come at 5:30pm for dinner right when they open back up for service! At the time it was about 29 euros per person, and although I only got one refill, I hear you get up to 2 refills (they will come around and fill up your plate with steak and frites and that yummy green sauce. You also get a serving of green salad before the main meal. I requested rare (usually medium rare but they only do rare or medium) and it was perfection. Sit outside if the weather permits, this location has a great outdoor seating set up.

Busy place
Ozzie T.

Coming here is like a rite of passage. I heard about this spot last year when we dined at Le Globe - which is a seafood restaurant located across the street from the OTHER Le Relais location. Hubby and I got here around 12:30pm on a Friday. They are open for lunch from 12-2:30pm weekdays at this location. The restaurant is packed, very busy. Our waitress asked us what we wanted to drink and how we liked our steak cooked - rare, medium or well done. There were about 40+ people in line ahead of us. We waited about 30-40 minutes before we were seated. It's funny that the time we spent in line is about the same time it takes to eat! We ordered 2 glasses of wine and a bottle of water (in hindsight, we could have asked for tap water), plus the main steak entree which automatically comes with bread, salad and fries. *our waitress confirmed the secret sauce on the steak was gluten free! ** Overall, a fun and fulfilling experience! Come for lunch if you can so you don't wait too long. I absolutely loved the secret sauce and the steak was surprisingly tender. Maybe not the best cut of steak but tender nonetheless. We were too full for dessert. :)

The first day I arrived in Paris, I went straight to this Relais de l'Entrecôte location since I planned to do some shopping on Champs-Élysées Avenue afterward. I wanted to beat the crowd and see what the hype was about, especially since I had never had steak frites in Paris before. I got there about 30 minutes before the restaurant opened, and there was already a long line, but I made it in as part of the first wave. There's no menu for the main dish. The waitress simply asks how you want your steak cooked, and shortly afterward, she brings out the spicy mustard dressing salad, followed by your table's portion of steak and fries. You get two plates full of steak and fries, which may seem like a lot, but to the American appetite, it was enough food and not overly excessive. The steak and fries were good, and the sauce that came with the steak was really delicious. Our waitress was very nice and friendly. Everybody spoke English, so there were no issues with language barriers. Yes, this restaurant is touristy and located right by a super touristy shopping street. Overall, I did enjoy the food and wouldn't mind going again, but maybe to a different location.

Wow as an American who loves steak, all I can say is wow! The restaurant opens to the public for dinner at 6:30... Get in line at at least 5:45pm Get ready for perfectly cooked steak and fries - when you sit down they ask you three questions: what type of water, how do you like your steak cooked, what do you want to drink? You receive a light salad, then two servings of steak frites. The crème brûlée was to die for and the profiteroles were chocolately goodness. I will definitely be coming back

PROFITEROLES AU CHOCOLAT
Makiko N.

I was craving steak frites so headed over to Le Relais de l'Entrecote. There was quite the wait to get in. I got there just before 8 and waited for an hour to get seated. (Too bad they don't take reservations). Given the line, they pack the restaurant to the max.. no room for personal space here, but once you get in service is quick. They ask how you want your steak prepared and take your drink order. Shortly after a salad is served with bread. The steak frites itself, it was ok. Flavors were a bit bland and the steak grade was average. They serve half your steak and frites portion and the second half follows after you finish. Also tried the profiteroles au chocolat, which was yummy! Love me some profiteroles and these didn't disappoint. All in all I'm glad I went, but I'd pass during a future trip to Paris. Between the wait and the ok quality meat, there is definitely better out there.

Steak frites
Winnie L.

There was huge lineups for this restaurant. You get steak frites and salad and only order how you like your steak. The portions are large and the fries are good. The food was ok. They are very efficient in turning tables over. We went for lunch and there was still a line at 2:30.

Salad
Anna J.

I understand this may be a tourist trap but do not pass it up!! We came on a Monday around 10pm and waited about 45 minutes for our party of 4. Once seated though service is crazy quick!! The meal starts with a salad with a delicious mustardy vinegrette which was refreshing and of course some fresh crusty bread!! Then the steak frites comes and everyone gets 2 portions (they are on the smaller end so don't be alarmed) The sauce on the steak was great but my one thing is that you have 3 options for steak cooking but they seemed kind of random as to whether you got rare or medium or whatever. The fries were delicious as well!! To end the meal we got creme brille and protiferoles and both were just so rich and delicious. Shoutout to our waitress who was so nice and such a lovely restaurant!!

Steak and frites
Jennifer L.

Definitely do not miss the chance to go here! It was one of the best meals I've had during my trip to Paris! They are experts in steak and frites and everything was done to perfection! The sauce was my favorite part as well. And if you're thinking about dessert, definitely go for it because it was a great cap to the dinner. The service was very attentive and quick. Don't let the line out the door deter you from trying out this place! They don't take reservations so plan accordingly. The place was super clean and light up and I love the whole experience of it.

One couple even tried to reserve a table for later in the week, only to be told there were no openings at all. When I mentioned my surprise to the bartender, he smiled and explained that Anthony Bourdain had featured Robert et Louise on his show, which brought them international fame. I had no idea when I walked in--it was pure luck. Fame aside, it's easy to see why the restaurant remains so beloved: the food is simple, rustic, and outstanding. I started with escargot, followed by a perfectly cooked steak with roasted potatoes and a crisp green salad. The true test of a great restaurant is how well it executes the basics--and here, they were exceptional. Tip: make a reservation in advance. This place fills up fast for good reason.

All were bonkers awesome. For our meat course, the husband got the Wagyu Picanha (all evidence points to it being a remarkable piece of beef) and I got the veal filet. The veal was one of the tenderest, most delicious pieces of meat I've ever eaten. The haricots beets we got as a side were crisp and sweet, and the pommes purées were otherworldly (complimentary). This is where the good part stops. The atmosphere of the restaurant was fine. But it was HOT. It is unusually hot in Paris this week but it was stifling inside the restaurant. But we could have dealt with that (the food was that good). The really disappointing part, however, was the service. We waited 20 minutes for anyone to ask if we wanted drinks (the restaurant was not crowded) and another 25 for someone to ask if we wanted to order. For context, a couple who arrived 10-15 minutes after us got a bottle of wine and their first course before the server--the same server for both tables--ever came to take our order. And it was like that throughout the meal. It's a shame, too, because the meal was exceptional otherwise. The service was bad enough that we won't return.
