Le Relais de l'Entrecôte

Le Relais de l'Entrecôte has built its legendary reputation on a radical idea: serve one thing and serve it perfectly. There is no menu to peruse, no decisions to agonize over—just a fixed formula that has satisfied countless diners for generations.

Your meal begins with a fresh green salad generously topped with crunchy walnuts, dressed with a light vinaigrette that prepares your palate for what's to come. It's a simple but essential prelude, offering freshness and texture that balance the richness ahead.

Then arrives the main event: the entrecôte. The steak is cooked to your preferred temperature—we recommend medium-rare to experience the meat at its most tender and flavorful. What sets this steak apart is the famous secret sauce, a closely guarded recipe that generations of diners have tried (and failed) to replicate at home. Rich, savory, and perfectly balanced, this sauce transforms excellent beef into something truly memorable. The kitchen serves your steak in two portions, ensuring the second helping arrives hot from the grill just as you're finishing the first—a thoughtful touch that elevates the entire experience.

Accompanying the steak is a generous serving of golden frites, crispy on the outside and fluffy within, seasoned simply and served abundantly. These aren't just any fries; they're the platonic ideal of pommes frites, the kind that make you understand why this simple preparation has become a cornerstone of French cuisine.

The fixed-price format includes your choice from a selection of classic French desserts to conclude the meal. The wine list features organic selections from Château de Saurs, carefully chosen to complement the rich flavors of the steak and sauce. The beauty of this singular focus is that every element has been perfected through repetition—the kitchen knows exactly how to cook the steak, exactly when to serve the second portion, exactly how crispy the frites should be. It's this unwavering consistency that keeps guests returning, confident they'll experience the same excellence every single visit.
