Le Relais de l'Entrecôte is one of those classic Paris experiences that's absolutely worth trying…read more Conveniently located near Saint-Germain-des-Prés, it's an easy stop while exploring the Left Bank, although be prepared to queue. We waited about 20 to 30 minutes, but the line moved steadily and was well managed.
The restaurant has a warm, lively Parisian bistro atmosphere. It's busy, energetic, and tables are close together, which adds to the authentic charm.
The menu couldn't be simpler. They only serve a green salad with walnuts, steak, and unlimited fries with their famous secret sauce. Everything was delicious. The salad was fresh, the steak was cooked perfectly, and the sauce really is as good as everyone says. I also loved that they automatically bring a second serving of steak and fries.
Don't skip dessert. The profiteroles were absolutely amazing and the perfect way to end the meal.
Considering the quality of the food, the generous portions with the second serving, and the iconic experience, I thought it offered good value for Paris. I'd happily come back the next time I'm in the city.
