Le Relais de l’Entrecôte

Recommended by a traveling friend. Don’t be confused by the (lack of) menu. Save room for dessert. We’ll worth it.

If you like steak-​frites, this is the place to go. There is a bit of a wait (~45 min got there at 7:15pm on a week day) but it’s worth it. I would suggest going earlier if possible, however.
The wine is inexpensive and well-​paired with the steak. I ordered the steak medium, while my friend ordered it rare (if you err on the medium side of medium-​rare, don’t go for this) and both were delicious. The fries are AMAZING with the steak sauce. Highly recommended.

The best steak and frites in Paris. Wine recommends are always excellent and the dessert decadent.

I went here for dinner on a Sunday (we enjoy steak frites places in DC and had to give it a try). The food was pretty good. I took off one star because of the portion size of steak we received vs. the huge pile of fries. The sauce on top of the steak was delicious. We also got a chocolate cake/​ice cream dessert that was pretty awesome.
There was a long line when we got there, but it moved fairly quick.

Was in Paris for 4 nights and ate dinner here for 3 of them. Don’t look any further. The best meal of your entire life you will ever have. Period. Waiters are so amazingly sweet. No matter how busy they are food comes out fast, and everything is perfect and spot on. The crème brûlée desert is to die for!!! I am just head over heels in love with this place.
FYI– there’s no menu. One option and the best one yet so you won’t be disappointed.

So my fiancé and I decided to try this Le Relais versus our normal spot (Le Relais de Venise — which I will refer to as LRdV so it’s easier) since we were in the Saint Germain area and craving steak frites. And we wanted to be able to compare the two. The verdict is that I prefer Le Relais de Venise better. Why, you ask? Let me tell you…
1) The salad and bread: equally as good as the LRdV. The salad had lots of chopped cashew and just enough dressing. The bread was fresh. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
2) The meat: perfectly done. We orders a point /​medium and it was perfect and tender! A plus!
3) The sauce: it has a bitterness to it that doesn’t exist at LRdV. I put mustard in the sauce to try to cut the bitterness. It helped, but didn’t fully get rid of it. With that I took away 1 star.
4) The fries: not bad. Just not as crispy as LRDV, which is a personal preference obviously. My fiancé thought it was better than LRdV, but I beg to differ.
5) The Vacherin du Relais: not as good, but just my personal preference. The hazelnut ice cream seemed to overpower the other subtle flavors of the dessert. Took away another star.
6) I didn’t try their Bordeaux, so I can’t compare it to LRdV’s.
7) The service: Equally as good. Very nice and friendly servers.
8) The space: And their restaurant is spacious and bright with plenty of seating. There’s seating outside as well for when the weather is nice and if you’re a smoker (which I’m not).
9) The price: Better by 1 € at 26,50 per person for the salad, steak and frites. LRdV is 27,50.
I’m sure that had I not tried LRdV before, this restaurant would have gotten 5 stars, but given that I have tried LRdV both in Paris and in New York, I can’t help but compare. If I could give a half star, then I would give them at least a 3,5.

Nothing but praise for this place! The décor was typically Parisian. I liked how the waitresses were dressed in their smart black dresses with clean white aprons. They all had their hair styled neatly pulled back. When I arrived, at a rather early hour for dinner in Paris, 7 pm, they were standing in a line by the front door where I was greeted warmly.
My waitress was very nice and didn’t seem to mind my rusty French. She reminded me that there is only one entrée served there, and I acknowledged that, asking for mine to be served rare.
The half bottles of wine are perfect when dining solo, and the salad w walnuts and a spicy horseradish dressing was promptly served w a small basket of sliced bread.
I love spicy food, and the dressing was delicious, but for those who are not so fond of spicy things, it may be a little strong.
Then came the steak, perfectly cooked, tender, and covered in their famous green herbed butter sauce, paired w excellent fried potatoes.
I knew their would be a second helping, so the small plate they served was great.
The refill was just as good as the first round, and I think it’s a great way to serve it because the food is always hot throughout the meal.
There were small tables off to the side where they had candles keeping the food warm while it was being plated. Nice touch.
For dessert, the profiterolls, small cream puff dough filled w vanilla ice cream and drizzled w a hot dark chocolate sauce and a sprinkle of toasted almonds was the perfect ending for my last meal in Paris.
Merci

Today my girlfriend and I went to ‘Le Relais’ by reccomendation of a collegue of mine. And I must admit, that I got quite surprised when we got there and saw the long line. But we decided to give it at shot anyway, which we defiantly do not regret!
Once we got inside the waitress took our order right away, and after a few minutes the starter came in.
The Entrécôte was on point, the fries delicious and not to mention the sauce!!!
The staff was smiling, effective and very kind!
We can only recommend to visit this restaurent, it is worth a try. Just remenber to come early :-)

There was a line outside roughly 25 minutes of waiting, but fast and pleasant. The seats are a little close but when it is so good there space is at a premium. If you order champagne, make sure to get the bottle first. It gets expensive by the glass for a whole night.
All you can order is the steak in the sauce, with fries and bread. French is also a MUCH, english will be treated poorly. The profiteroles are also FANTASTIC, make sure you get them.

Held one star back because no one explains how the place works or what anything costs which can cause some anxiety, but otherwise, easily a 5 star place!
Generally a pretty long line/​wait. We were waiting out the door and beyond the steps, but it seemed to go pretty quickly. We probably waited ~20 minutes for a table for 4 and there were varying large/​small parties ahead of us
There’s no menu? You tell them how you want the steak cooked and they bring out the steak in their special secret sauce with fries — both in generous portions! We asked what the sauce was and they didn’t tell us; probably tell them if you have any allergies. After you finish your plate (if you can) then they refill your plate with the exact same thing. I have no idea if you pay per plate or it’s a set price for 2 plates. But the steak is DELICIOUS and the sauce is DELICIOUS and not overwhelming. Despite not being a fan of potatoes, I enjoyed their shoe string fries.
Waitress was absolutely lovely and had impressively sculpted arms…
House wine was great! Have no idea how much this costs either, but the red was light yet had enough body — I’d say it perfectly paired with steak and was easy to sip on even when you’re dying full
YOU HAVE TO EAT THE CREME BRULEE even if you’re dying full. Especially if you’re dying full because death by this crème brûlée is actually how I want to die. This crème brûlée creates your own personal heaven. We even ordered a second. Hands down the best crème brûlée I have ever had in my life. Confidently saying this is the best crème brûlée i will ever have in my life. I’m in a long distance relationship with this crème brûlée.

American tourists: Beware of short changed from the waitress. Thank goodness we caught it. She claimed it was a mistake. Also, the waitress did not want our dollar coin euros. They only want the paper euros. I find that very fishy.
Anywho, we still love the ambiance and restaurant. Very unique. Old school, yet elegant. Salad was good. So is the bread basket of baguette. Delicious steak and frites. Their green sauce is very addicting. Tasty! Dessert is a must get! We really wanted to try the crème brûlée but they were out of it at 10:30pm. We chose the raspberry sorbet ice cream dessert. Yum. This place was recommend by our Airbnb host. Great pick! Service from our waitress, not so great.

O que falar desse lugar?!
Famoso entrecorte com fritas francesas não decepcionam em absolutamente nada.
A salada de entrada é uma delicia com folhas e molho de mostarda.
O prato é muito bem servido com fritas para comer até enjoar. Há um «choro» de bife, sim! Vá com fome!
Bons vinhos, preço mais salgado, mas faz parte.
Vale muito a experiência. Local muito aconchegante e atendimento à altura.
Prove uma sobremesa e tenha uma das melhores experiências de Paris.
De nada pela dica.

While I liked my meal, I have to give the disclaimer that this decision at our table was not unanimous! :P The green sauce seems to be quite polarizing, but I personally enjoyed it.
So we rocked up to this place on a weeknight. There was a short line, but we got to our seats quite quickly, maybe within 15 minutes or so. There is no menu, they serve everyone the same appetizer and mains.
We were first served a salad. I actually didn’t like it that much… thought the mustard was too strong, but I’m not really a fan of mustard.
Then came the meat… i ordered mine medium. It comes drenched in this green sauce and a side serving of fries. Not a huge fan of drenching steak in sauce but this was pretty tasty. It was like this mix of pesto, mustard, and liver (?!). It was pretty yummy on the fries, too, though the fries were nothing special.
And yeah, after the first serving, they come out with seconds. Don’t think there is a third — I’ve read other reviews saying it was unlimited but I don’t think that seems to be the case.
I don’t know if I was just super hangry, but considering that everyone is pretty much served the same thing, the food didn’t seem to come out quickly? There seemed to be a bit of the wait before the mains came out… though it was a busy night.
Dessert was pretty good, too!

Delicious soft and tender the steak came out cooked perfectly.
I’m not a fan of sauces with my meats, but the green sauce was delicious, it is a blend of herbs oil and a hint of mustard.
The portion may initially look small but they refill you up and it is quite filling with the much talked about SECOND SERVING! There is also a green salad to start.
The service is friendly and efficient and it might be me being tipsy as they don’t sell glasses but small bottles of wine (as the smallest potion of wine) but I am gleefully in bliss at my table as I write this.
Boozing and Unilocaling… What can I say, at least I am in a happy space!
I decided to get this almond dessert as per another Unilocaler and YUM! It’s not overly sweet but if you have room in your tummy get it, it’s really yummy!

Neat experience, but underwhelming. We arrived shortly before the restaurant opened for dinner and the line had already formed. I could tell by the size of the restaurant and our place in line that we would get seated quickly, and we did. Other reviews had prepared me for how this place works and had also prepared me for potentially bad service, but I would say the highlight of our meal was our server. She was sweet, friendly, and spoke great English! The steak itself… eh. And I didn’t care for the sauce. I mean it was very edible, but far from delicious. Cute place and glad we made the effort for such a classic Paris meal, but I would not return.

Très bon endroit pour déguster leur entrecôte, qui est le plat unique du relais de l’entrecôte avec une petite salade en entrée. Par contre il né faut pas être pressé car ils né prennent pas de réservation donc on fait la queue jusqu’à ce que notre tour arrive, mais cela avance relativement vite, il faut juste prendre son mal en patience

Be prepared to wait but this place is bustling busy for a reason. Right service on point they serve the mustard dressing greens with walnuts, nice crunch and freshness, then you get two servings of the beef with sauce and fries. I thought the medium rare was pretty on point so it worked out nicely. The steak isn’t the best you’ll ever taste but being in Paris and eating Steak Frites has its merits. Fries are on point. The house wine is a little too sweet and watery but cheap and does the job.

Amazing experience. I came here for lunch, was seated outside and there was no wait at all.
Waitress was very nice, explained to us that there were no menu and that they only offered steak frites for a set price. Food was amazing! She frequently came back to refill our plates when our steak or fries were almost done. The sauce was a perfect combination with the steak and fries. The recommended dessert was heavenly. Oh! And the salad was even delicious, very flavorful.
Who wouldn’t enjoy a nice steak with wine for lunch? I definitely would and wish I could everyday.

Love this place! We came here twice it was so good. Definitely a must when visiting Paris. The meat was cooked to perfection, the sauce was delicious, and the fries! Some of the best fries ever.

One of our very favorite restaurants in Paris. They only serve one option: Steak & Frites! Not sure what’s in their secret sauce but it’s amazing! Simple wine menu. Great deserts! one caution: you will wait in line. They’re incredibly efficient but don’t go if you’re not prepared to wait 30 – 50 minutes. We usually opt to get in line 30 – 45 minutes before they open. Food and service are great! Reasonably priced! HIGHLY recommend.

After doing plenty of research, I knew I should probably visit this place the second time visiting Paris. Much of the research said that there were lines outside to get in but for some reason when I arrived around 7PM on a Thurs, they were no lines. Upon entering, I was quickly seated. They dont offer a menu as you probably already know. The waitress came to my table and asked what I would like to drink (there’s a menu for that) and I ordered a half bottle of their red wine. After serving me the wine, she went ahead and took down my dinner order. I asked for my steak to be medium rare (duh) and that’s all she wrote (literally, on the paper table cloth). 5 – 10 mins later, she came back with a bowl of tasty bread and a salad. The salad was not anything special but I must say it was pretty heavy on dressing. It was a tangy dressing too so I was only able to tolerate but so much. After finishing my salad, she bought me my entrée. The fries were good, they are the very thin ones and not crinkled. They werent salted yet either. The steak was okay, it tasted like a sirloin cut so it had a very straw-​like texture. It was dressed with their sauce (didn’t fancy that much either) but I saw tables around me that asked for extra to dip their fries and bread into. After finishing my steak ONLY, the waitress asked if I wanted more of either (fries or steak). I decided to get more steak. The second offering was slightly smaller then the first dish but I was okay with that. They only offer two full portions per person but overall it was very filling. I completed my meal with dessert and cappuccino. The dessert was THE BEST FLIPPING PART! She recommended some sort of almond cake/​tart/​pie concoction. HOLY MOTHER! It was prepared in layers and every bite was more joyful then the previous! MUST TRY! I attached a photo because I don’t remember the name.
Coming here was an experience but I don’t know if its a place that every tourist must visit. Maybe one time but not sure about a second time. Now if I were to just go for dessert, then HELL YES.

Visited in early January 2016. Best meal n Paris the entire week. Wen my fiancé ordered desert I actually got another two rounds of the steak n fries. It is literally addicting. I will visit paris again just for his place. Order a bottle or two of wine, get buzzed and enjoy incredible food and just being in Paris. Awesome place.

This place serves one option: Steak Frites. In the most amazing sauces ever. And it’s all you need.
Okay, it’s a little more complicated than that: after you wait in line (and there’s always a line), you’ll be seated at a table close to another group of diners. A waitress in a French Maid uniform will bring you delicious, mustard– vinaigrette topped salad and bread and takes your drink order. After you finish the salad, get ready for the incredible Steak Frites. Your serving might seem small… despair not, for you’ll be given another plate if you want. And another, if you can handle it. And maybe you can, because the steak, crispy fries, and addictive sauce are all perfect.
The place also serves tasty-​looking desserts, but we declined, wanting to order a street crêpe on the street.
Just lovely, even if it’s more of a tourist-​type restaurant then an authentic Parisian dining experience. I can’t wait for the Los Angeles location of the place to open on Melrose later this year.

Got there for the first serving. It’s like a free for all when they open the door and you find an open table. They then just start serving, big plate of flank steak covered in their own green sauce that was so delicious. Also big plate of pomme-​frites that were crispy and went great with the savory steak. I was a little disappointed in the quantity and was eyeing my wife’s plate when. Boom. They bought another full serving. Meanwhile the customers waiting in line were salivating out the window waiting their turn for the second seating. We let them know it was worth the wait. This was our last night or we would have come back. DONT MISS THIS PLACE!

The reviews here are absolutely accurate and you need to know what to expect before coming here so I’ll list out all the steps. If you don’t know what to expect, you’re in for a 1 star experience.
1. Wait in line.
2. Once seated and you feel like a sardines, tell the waitress how you want your beef cooked (it’s either medium or well-​done). There will be NO food menu.
3. Make sure to let the waitress know that you want wine… otherwise she won’t even bat an eye about ignoring you.
4. Converse on how terrible the service is and laugh it up.
5. Food arrives… and you eat. You then realize that it is delicious. A second serving is slopped on your plate and again you devour it.
6. The second you finish, a dessert menu is placed in front of you.
7. Order, eat, and the next thing you know the bill is placed in front of you.
I know efficiency is one thing, but this was just plain hilarious. So why the 4 stars? Because the steak was delicious and this may well be one of the better meals you’ll have in the city.
Total time of meal was 30 minutes tops. Interesting experience lol
4 stars.

Bom restaurante mas caro para o que oferece. A salada de entrada não é nada de especial, o bife é bom mas tendo em conta a fama esperava mais. As sobremesas são vulgares. Pagamos 78 € por duas pessoas por um jantar ok mas nada de especial. O atendimento é irrepreensível ! Maioritariamente é frequentado por turistas.

Just amazing. Order a bottle of their house red to go with your meal (and the second serving if you decide to partake). They only serve one dish here, so as far as ordering just tell them how you like your steak done. The service is excellent and it fills up fast. I’m surprised I didn’t feel rushed even with the queue snaking outside despite the snow flurry. Don’t forget dessert!
A very good value and a wonderful experience. That sauce is seriously one of the tastiest I’ve had.

After checking out The Louvre in the morning, I decided to grab some lunch at Le Relais de l’Entrecôte. When I was doing some research ahead of time, I read that this place is known for their steak frites. It wasn’t too busy when I got there, and I was seated immediately. The seating layout was a little weird though. They have booth seating along the walls and then tables literally right next to each other all in a line. There was no way to get in and out if you were sitting on the booth side. They literally have to pull the table out for me in order to get in to the booth seating. I ordered a water thinking I would just get tap water, but they ended up bringing some nasty Pellegrino carbonated water, which was actually more expensive than the wine I got.
All the waitresses were wearing maid-​looking uniforms. The service was mechanical and was pretty much all business without much warmth or friendliness from my server. I didn’t really mind since I was eating solo and I just wanted to get in, enjoy some food, and then be on my way. They didn’t even ask what I wanted to order; they just asked how I liked my steak cooked. I had no clue how much it cost either since they never gave me a menu. It’s pretty much assumed you’re gonna order the steak frites, which was a steak with some sort of green herb sauce on top with fries on the side.
It might look that way, but the steak frites are not unlimited. They bring out a first plate of steak and fries and give you some time to eat it. Then they’ll walk around and refill the steak and fries with another serving once you’re done with the first one. The Unilocal reviews were pretty accurate. That green sauce was amazing. It was garlicky and so flavorful. I drowned every piece of steak in it and dipped the fries too to soak up the rest of it. My plate was completely clean by the time I was through with it. The fries were a thinner cut and were nice and crispy and reminded me of Burger King fries (which is a good thing in my eyes). The quality of the steak was just alright though. It was a little tough and was a way leaner cut than I would’ve preferred. The lack of a juicy, nicely marbled prime steak was pretty much masked by that glorious green sauce poured all over it.
Overall, it was a solid meal but more on the touristy side and a little expensive for the quality of meat that you get.

Lieu incontournable pour les carnivores gourmets ! Une viande terriblement tendre, une sauce esquisse, et des frites fines salées comme il le faut. D’excellents vins accompagnent le repas, parfait.
Plutôt grand et relativement calme, avec un service rapide.
Conseil: pour ceux qui souhaitent y aller seul ou à deux, passer devant la file. Il leur est beaucoup plus facile de placer une ou deux personnes.

Our first destination when we landed in Paris.
I had an amazing time here with my girls. We immediately ordered the steak and frites and couldn’t get enough of it. With a side of red wine, our evening was nearly perfect. This place is magnificent and I can’t wait to come back.
It’s a long wait to get in, but well worth it.

I believe this was the first meal we had in Paris. After landing at CDG, taking the Roissybus to the Opera, and checking into our hotel, it was around lunch time and we were absolutely staaaarving. It’s a good thing Le Relais de l’Entrecôte serves quality food, along with some quality portions! After ~15m of waiting, we got an outdoor table and ordered the only thing you can, Steak Frites for € 25/​pp. They start you off with bread and a small salad, heavy on the mustard/​horseradish dressing. Then they bring out your first serving of steak (filet mignon) and frites (fries) w their secret (traditional french) sauce. The filet is melt-​in-​your-​mouth tender (be sure to get RARE not medium) and tastes amazing w their secret sauce. The generous portion of frites were hot and crispy, but didn’t blow me away as much as the filet did. By the time the second serving came out, I was already pushing my limit and really only needed the filet. We also got a large bottle of San Pelligrino, which I believe was around € 5 or € 6. Overall, a little on the pricey side, but definitely a notable Entrecôte experience.
Tip: If you don’t appreciate second hand smoke, you should get a table inside. We learned the hard way…

A Paris institution, and not to be missed.
They have a set menu, and it’s brilliant.
First is a small salad (lettuce, walnuts, thinly sliced radishes and dressing) I just really wanted more of this, it was so good! It looks pretty plain but it’s got great flavour.
Next is steak and fries served with their secret sauce.
The steak was so tender and prepared well, and the fries were great. The sauce had good flavour, however I found it to be too oily for me (others I was eating with disagree with this, so maybe I got all the oil!).
After you’ve finished this course, they serve it again!
They have a good desert menu, we had two different types of chocolate cake.
The prices were pretty standard prices for Paris.

Cheap, delicious steak and fries. What more can you ask for in an expensive city like Paris? Like a Spaghetti Factory with only a few items on their menu. Choose your steak done blue or medium. Green peppercorn sauce is yummy! It’s fast food Parisian style! Serving staff are efficient no nonsense middle aged ladies. Pick your steak style as soon as you sit down.

Sometimes tourists HAVE to do the touristy things and this was one experience that was well worth it! Many of the people at this restaurant were clearly visiting but who cares when the food is tasty?!
One downside is that they only serve one item — Steak & Frites with a small salad. If you are looking for anything else this is not the place for you. If you and your entire dinner party are up for Steak and Frites then jump in the small line that starts before it opens and be ready. The waitress will come by for your drink selection and to find out how you like your meat cooked.
Aside from the initial good-​sized portion of steak and frites that they brought to our table we each received a second helping of both, which was a pleasant surprise! The food was great and I can check it off my Paris bucket-​list.

A foodie friend recommended this place to my family and I. After walking from tour de Eiffel to this place, I was shocked and excited that the line was around the corner (around 8:30 pm). When going inside and asking about the wait time approximation, I was told 10 minutes (which later I suspected she meant we’d be seated by 10 pm!!!). Let me be frank, if you are in the city with a friend and are curious to have the French culinary experience of steak et frites, then definitely come by and visit this place! If you are impressing a girl/​guy or family members, I’d recommend going elsewhere! Though this branch is definitely in a romantic and classy street, the restaurants mannerisms and lack of accommodation simply did not match the location.
Let me break it down like this:
Pros:
Good location,
Great steak steak sauce,
Good cut of steak
Hot fries
Cons:
Overpriced
Terrible service
No room to breathe inside
No one to communicate with about the menu
No menu really and no variety
Wait time outside
Was I happy I tried this place out? Absolutely! Would I come back? Well, given I’d probably come back to Paris with a significant other, no, I’d probably go elsewhere. Pardon!

Couci-couca…must LOVE spicy mustard
This place had good reviews and was down the street from our hotel. I figured you can’t go wrong with Steak as I am traveling with a picky eater and any place with a line has to be good. Well I was wrong.
I am utterly confused by all of the good reviews
The meat itself was good assuming you could taste it through the spicy mustard sauce which seemed to be the theme at this restaurant lacking all imagination
From the bread with the spicy mustard sauce to the salad with a spicy mustard dressing to the spicy mustard sauce with the steak. One thing is clear the Chef is un inventive and is limited on ingredients
As far as ambience there wasn’t any, people are herded in like cattle with tables pushed together leaving no personal space, combine that with the noise so you have to yell at the person across from you and the heat it’s all a recipe for wanting to get the hell out of there as fast as you can
The facts: they serve one item only, Steak & Frites which comes with a small salad the price is 25 euro and there is a line so get there before they open
It is all you can eat they will keep filling up your plate
In a nutshell the food is not good unless you love spicy mustard to the point you dream of big yellow mustard jars dancing through a field of rainbows
The food is overpriced
Could I eat it? Sure but I wished I could have left and asked for a refund
Would I recommend this place… um nope!
You are in Paris, a culinary dream, save your time and money and spend it elsewhere

What’s not to love? It doesn’t get more straight to the point than here– you don’t get a menu, no pictures, nothing to choose from. I last came here about 6 years ago, and I knew that I had to bring my hubby here because he’s all about steak. I wanted to give him the Entrecôte experience.
You get seated, they ask you how you want your meat cooked, and that’s it! You start with a salad with a mustard dressing, then your meat and fries come. They serve you your steak and fries in 2 servings, so don’t get full off that first serving! The meat is similar to a skirt steak, but it’s that green sauce that really makes it. The fries are crispy and hot, and Entrecôte knows how to do a mean steak frites.
But wait! Don’t get full off your two servings of meat and fries, because their desserts are heavenly. Chocolate profiteroles are moneyyyy. Cream puffs doused in warm chocolate sauce with sliced almonds, you can’t come here and leave without them.
Service could be friendlier, but you know what? I ain’t gonna argue with a well-​oiled machine, and Entrecôte is a well-​oiled machine.
Come early, or the wait could be over an hour. We got lucky, came early and got to bypass the line because we were only a party of 2. Expect a lot of noise and the tables to be really close together, but it’s all part of the Entrecôte dining experience.

one of my favourite restaurants in paris! So basically there’s no reservations here (come early) and no menu to chose from. You come. you eat. and it’s just a classic steak frites. The salad they bring you to start has a nice kick to it (I think it’s some sort of dijon dressing) and has bits of walnuts. Then they bring you the steak with fries. one thing —
.god. the SAUCE. I have no idea what the green sauce is, I can only assume garlic with some other heavenly things to make that fantastic combo. It is SOOOOO good!!! You will finish every single last drop of it, soak it up with fries. The steak is well cooked and the fries r great as well. Then when ur all done, they come back with a second serving :) doesn’t really get better than this!
I’ve tried some of the desserts here, but they aren’t that great. If you really want dessert, I would suggest going somewhere else after.
The restaurant is cute and very french, and always very busy. I’ve been to two of the locations in paris and all times I went the waitresses were pretty rude I found. snotty french women sterotype.

Rien a redire sur la qualité de la viande, ni même sur le vin ou les desserts… d’ailleurs même les serveuses sont sympathiques. Par contre, oubliez la fameuse sauce qui serait parfaite pour accompagner du colin; préférez le pot de moutarde…

Tout a déjà été dit mais il faut parfois savoir les redire: fameux restaurant !
Certes, selon votre heure d’arrivée et un peu selon votre chance, vous attendrez plus ou moins longtemps. Une heure pour ma part, la faim au ventre. Mais pas déçu du résultat !
La salade verte, comblant l’estomac le temps que la viande cuise, arrive en moins de 5mn; la viande suit de près. Délicieuse, tendre, une sauce agréable bien qu’un peu grasse; et des frites absolument croquantes. On apprécie le 2^nd tour, généreux, qui nous rappelle le «rab de frite» tant attendu de la cantine du collège.
Plus de place pour un dessert, mais peu importe. Quant au prix? Aucune idée, j’étais invité (merci Emma !).

Don’t bother coming here if you don’t like steak. They don’t have a menu. You have your choice of: steak, steak, or steak.
Seriously though, after waiting in line for 30 minutes (we got on line right when it opened), we were seated and asked how we like our steak. The waitress jotted down (I’m guessing) «medium» in French on the table. That’s the only choice you have! And I was okay with that.
The waitress brought over a delicious salad topped with walnuts and a mustard dressing.
Then came the steak with an addicting green sauce and crispy fries. You get 2 servings. It was enough for me.
We ended our meal with a classic crème brulee.
The waitress was super speedy.
A must-​visit when in Paris. Worth the wait. We even contemplated coming back a second time, but opted against it.

Maybe my expectations were too high from everything I’ve heard/​read about this place but I don’t think it’s worth waiting in line for or making a special trip just to grab lunch/​dinner here. Luckily this was just a few steps away from our place. The steak and the green sauce were good. The fries reminded me of an extremely great batch of McDonald’s fries =X. I love McDonald’s fries so that’s meant as a compliment. Lol.
It’s pretty crowded and expect to have no space between you and the other diners. The servers were very nice though and we didnt feel like they were rushing us out. They mostly speak French there but we were fine with our very basic French.
If you have time to spare come here for the experience but don’t expect the most amazing steak frites of your life.

Mein absolutes Lieblings-​Steak Restaurant! Mehr brauche ich nicht hinzuzufügen! Meine Mam hat zwar versucht die Ingredienten der Soße rauszubekommen, aber vergeblich!

Depuis dix ans à Paris, je n’avais jamais testé cette institution ! Je pensais plutôt injustement et sans doute avec une pointe de snobisme, que c’était surtout bon pour les touristes.
Grosse erreur ! Si le lieu est prisé par les voyageurs en goguette, les parisiens carnivores y ont tout à fait leur place. Il faut né pas avoir peur de la file d’attente qui avance à bon train (nous y étions un samedi soir un peu avant 21h et nous n’avons pas attendu plus d’un quart d’heure).
Ici, pas de question, hormis celle de la boisson et encore la carte des vins est courte (plus que celle des desserts) et la cuisson de la viande. Le service est poli et souriant, efficace. L’ambiance est un poil bruyante, le décor un peu suranné mais tout ça n’est pas dénué de charme au contraire.
La viande est fondante, les frites pas mal du tout et on en a bien assez grâce aux deux tours effectués par la serveuse ! Les desserts sont généreux et pas mauvais du tout, nous en avons partagé deux pour quatre.
Un excellent moment entre amis !

Qu’oui-je? Qu’entends-je ?? Une parisienne qui n’avait jamais été au relais de l’entrecôte ?! Eh oui, mais pour moi le relais, c’est exactement ce genre de restaurant qu’un parisien classique n’a pas l’occasion de tester. Touristique, avec une queue à faire fuir, et un concept bien arrêté: c’est plutôt un piège à touriste, non? Plutôt, oui, mais avec une telle ambiance, un tel concept et une telle qualité que j’ai aimé quand même.
L’ambiance, d’abord, un peu kitsch avec une grande salle décorée brasserie, des banquettes rouges velours, des petites tables surmontées de nappe en papier et des serveuses dans l’ambiance avec un petit ensemble de soubrette noire et tablier blanc. Les tables sont rapprochées, la salle est bruyante, mais tout cela donne une ambiance que j’ai trouvé sympathique et conviviale, et les serveuses sont souriantes
Le concept, ensuite, une petite salade verte toute simple avec des noix (bien assaisonnée) et un plat unique (l’entrecôte, pour ceux qui né suivent pas), servie avec des frites. Ou plutôt, des lamelles d’entrecôtes, car à peine est-​il besoin de couper: tout est déjà servi. La seule chose que l’on choisit, c’est la cuisson, griffonnée en bout de table. Deux assiettes à peut près de même contenance sont servies à une dizaine de minutes d’intervalle: environ cinq tranches de viandes à chaque fois. Alors oui, ça peut paraître peu, mais avec les frites et la sauce verte qui noie tout cela –un peu dommage, d’ailleurs, c’est peut être leur spécialité, mais noyer la viande comme ça, surtout lorsqu’elle est aussi bonne, c’est presque un crime! — c’est suffisant pour un adulte normalement constitué. Il este une petite faim tout de même? qu’à cela né tienne, les desserts sont au choix, eux. Vacherin (sorte de glacé avec de la meringue), tarte fine aux pommes, profiteroles… il y a plein de gateaux. J’ai goûté les profiteroles, et même si les choux était suspicieusement uniformes en taille, le tout était délicieux (glacé dans le choux et fudge chocolat à se rouler dedans).
Touristique, oui, kitsch, oui, et un peu cher (34 € le repas à midi!!) mais c’était bon, et une super expérience. A recommander surtout à des touristes qui veulent voir un Paris «cliché», plus Hollywood que ‘vie de tous les jours’.

C’est ce qu’on peut appeler un «valeur sûre».
Au relais de l’Entrecôte, pas de carte, pas de chichis, pas de «j’hésite entre ça et ça»… comme son nom l’indique, vous allez manger de l’entrecôte.
Après avoir été accueilli par les serveuses en tenue «folklorique» (surtout cool pour les touristes), vous serez rapidement attablé dans une ambiance bistrot, et aussi rapidement servi.
La viande, servie tranchée, est bonne. Heureusement, me direz-​vous, ils né vendent que ça! Pas stratosphérique, mais bonne. Elle est servie avec des frites (très bonnes aussi), mais surtout avec une sauce, la fameuse sauce maison dont la recette est jalousement gardée. On né sait pas ce qu’il y a dedans, mais on s’en lèche les babines (bien qu’un peu calorique)!
C’est tout de même assez cher, de mémoiré plus de 25 € pour l’entrecôte, ce qui me fait pencher pour 3 étoiles.
Bonne surprise pour les gloutons: après être venu à bout de votre assiette, la serveuse revient avec une 2ème fournée! Même quantité de viande, même quantité de frites… prévoyez une bonne sieste en sortant.

Comment est-​il possible qu’il y ait autant d’avis positif?
Payer 25 balles pour deux tiers d’une petite entrecôte, des frites pas si folles que ça et une sauce «mystère» pas très goûteuse et assez grasse, c’est votre kiff? Pas vraiment le mien.
Hormis le fait qu’on peut faire la même à la maison pour 4 fois moins cher, le service n’a rien d’agréable comme beaucoup l’ont remarqué.
Bref pour ce prix la, vous avez beaucoup mieux à Paris, y compris dans le quartier, certainement aussi si vous êtes carnivores comme moi. Encore heureux que l’on ait pas fait la queue.
Je me suis bien fait douiller, si vous me passer. Ma copine encore plus lors du payement, elle demande a payer séparément, ils lui font passer toute la note …
Incompréhensible des notes pareilles, un resto aussi blindé.
Bref j’en sors et j’ai faim. Je vais passer chez Macdo. Tant qu’à faire, autant payer 8 euros et né plus avoir faim, quitte à mal manger.
Une étoile, parce que je né peux pas en mettre 0!

On m’en parlait depuis si longtemps que j’ai sauté sur l’occasion d’aller dîner avec une amie au Relais, situé à St Germain.
Le cadre est traditionnel et chic, les serveuses (uniquement des femmes) sont habillées de façon identique, cheveux attachés et sourire poli. Tout est fait ici pour que vous soyez installés rapidement (malgré l’attente) et servis dans les meilleures conditions.
Dans l’assiette: la viande et les frites sont très bonnes. On peuthoisir la cuisson, c’est tout !
Difficile de résister à la tentation de saucer l’assiette avec du pain, tant cette mystérieuse recette fait son effet.
Côté desserts, le vacherin d’été est un délice (sorbet framboise, glacé vanille, chantilly, meringue et coulis de framboise)
Pour 25 euros, on a le droit à sa petite assiette de salade verte (croquante et bien assaisonnée), suivi du plat frites/​entrecôte (servi 2 fois).

La sauce accompagnee de sa fameuse entrecôte est toujours aussi savoureuse. le seul endroit a Paris ou l on a pas le choix: saignante ou a point? C est la question a se poser. sinon service impeccable et gracieux. comme toujours.

C’est vraiment le plat qu’il me faut quand j’ai envie d’une bonne viande avec des frites, seul défaut, la pseudo directrice peu aimable même quand on y va souvent, puis on s’en sort facilement à 35EUR en prenant une boisson, voire 45EUR si on prend le dessert. Un peu cher donc.

Fan du Relais de l’Entrecôte ! Plat unique: viande rouge avec sauce mystère (super bonne, quoiqu’un peu grasse selon moi… mais je suis minoritaire) et frites délicieuses.
On attaque sur une petite salade «d’attente» puis deux services de viande et frites, petits appétits s’abstenir !
Les desserts sont fameux également même si je n’ai souvent plus assez d’appétit.
Service plutôt «à la chaine», ce qui n’empeche pas certaines serveuses d’être sympathiques. Né vous laissez pas rebuter pas celà, ou par la queue pour avoir une table, ça vaut le coup et c’est une super expérience !

Pas grand chose à redire, mais le service n’est pas top. Les serveuses, oui, elles courent toujours, je comprends. Mais elles laissent tomber beaucoup de choses au moins trois fois pendant les 45 minutes que j’ai passé dans le resto. Cela me fait peur, franchement. Le plat est bon, comme toujours, mais les lamelles de viande sont vraiment petites. Le rapport qualité prix est moyen. Au moins la sauce est toujours délicieuse !

Cette sauce…

3 étoiles, 4 étoiles, j’ai du mal à me décider…
Quand on arrive, l’endroit inspire confiance, certainement à cause de la file de parisiens qui attend dehors, sous la pluie, avec le sourire aux lèvres (oui, des parisiens mouillés qui né ronchonnent pas !).
La majorité de la clientèle a l’air très aisée, il y a pas mal de touristes d’origines diverses et variées, et l’ambiance «cantine» est super agréable. C’est bruyant, mais ça va avec le cadre, les serveuses en noir et blanc sont pressées mais très prévenantes et malgré la proximité des tables voisines, on né sent pas épiés.
Une fois que la serveuse sait comment nous voulons notre viande, elle nous amèné une salade aux noix, simple mais efficace, pour nous mettre en appétit.
Peu de temps après, le plat principal arrive: l’équivalent d’un tiers d’entrecôte, coupé en lamelles, recouvert d’une sauce verte, accompagné d’une bonne portion de frites fines et croquantes (de loin ça ressemble à des frites McDo, dans la bouche on se rend vite compte que c’est environ dix mille fois meilleur.).
La sauce d’ailleurs parlons-​en… C’est la sauce «secrète» du Relais, qui est un genre de mix entre une sauce au pesto et du beurre escargots. Moi qui n’apprécie ni l’un ni l’autre, étrangement là j’aime. C’est surprenant mais ça se marie bien avec la viande, extra-​tendre et cuite à la perfection.
La serveuse nous laisse 5 min puis reviens avec une deuxième assiette, similaire à la première. Je suis totalement rassasiée après tout ça, mais si vous avez bien compté, je n’ai eu «que» deux tiers d’une entrecôte (personnellement ça me suffit amplement mais ce n’est pas le cas de tout le monde…), des frites et une petite assiette de salade pour 24,80 €. On paie l’ambiance et la tradition dirons-​nous.
Les desserts sont tous plus appétissants les uns que les autres et oscillent entre 5 € et 7 € (très correct pour la taille). Le vacherin aux fruits rouges est immense et le sablé de fraises au citron est très généreux.
J’aurais payé 25 € dessert compris, j’aurais trouvé ça honnête, là je tique un peu…

Ok, c’est une bonne adresse. Délicieuse viande de boeuf, bonnes frites maison, petite salade en entrée pour ouvrir l’appétit, vin à prix raisonnable, service efficace et sympa.
Oui, il n’y a pas de choix à la carte. C’est le boeuf, les frites, la salade et les desserts maison.
Ce n’est pas ça qui me fait mettre seulement 4 étoiles à ce resto.
J’aime pas qu’on me coupe ma viande en fines lamelles à l’avance! J’ai plus trois ans, bon sang! Et si je veux couper un gros morceau, hein?
Bön, à part ça, rien à dire!

Ein sehr gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis bei den Steaks!

Le bœuf a son paradis. Accompagné d’une sauce gardée secrète (on ressent le pesto tout de même dedans), la viande, très tendre, coupée en fines lamelles est servie avec des frites maisons, délicieuses. En entrée, une salade de noix, classique mais efficace. Et un vaste choix de desserts maison.
Outré les plats, le restaurant vaut son pesant d’or pour l’ambiance qui y règne, très brasserie années 30: serveuses strictes mais souriantes, en tenue classique et désuète, décor hors du temps et un mécanisme parfaitement huilé pour faire tourner à plein régime ce lieu qui né désemplit jamais.

En plein cœur de saint germain des près, ce restaurant (ils en existent d’autres a porte maillot, rue marbeuf, montparnasse…) le plat est unique: un petite salade verte au noix et ensuite leur fameuse entrecôte frite. La viande est excellente. Accompagnée d’une sauce secrète exquise… Le Prix: env 25 € et on peut se resservir 2 fois.
J’étais végétarienne et suis revenue (un peu) a la viande grace au relai de l’entrecôte et a quelques amis insistants ;-)
Le vin est pas très cher. Les profiteroles sont incroyables aussi.
Le seul hic: la queue. Il faut souvent faire la queue. Mais ça vaut le coup d’attendre.
j’y suis allée un vendredi soir a 20:00 et nous avons eu une place sans attendre mais tenez compte de cette info car vous pourriez être désagréablement surpris.
Un excellente adresse parisienne. Voir un incontournable.

Un superbe établissement, aussi bien au niveau de la cuisine (divine!) que de l’accueil (tres pro, tout en finesse)
A déguster sans la moindre modération

Also das Relais de l’entrecôte gehört sicherlich zu den klassischen Steak Frites Restaurants in Paris. Und es war auch wirklich sehr lecker! Das Fleisch ist super, die Pommes Frites sehr gut und die Sauce (Zitrone-​Senf) wirklich sehr lecker. ABER man wird dort so genötigt möglichst schnell zu essen (da die Schlange vorm Restaurant auch mal lang wird) und der Service ist dermaßen unfreundlich, dass ich die zwei Sterne Abzug gegeben habe. Die nehmen einem sofort die Teller weg, wenn man fertig ist und wenn man kein Dessert will, bekommt man sofort ungefragt die Rechnung. Auswahl hat man übrigens keine — man kriegt Steak Frites für 25 Euro. Lediglich ein Dessert Menü gibt es.

Menu unique mais qui vaut le détour avec cette sauce mystérieuse et secret !
Le vacherin d’été est juste incroyable ! C’est une tour avec boules fraise /​vanille /​fraise ou l’inverse séparé par des tranches de meringues recouvert d’une framboise et d’une feuille de menthe, un seul mot: DÉLICIEUX !

L’entrecôte est un endroit à connaitre mais il faut au moins deux choses indispensables, né surtout pas etre vegetarien (j’avoue ca tombe sous le sens) et 30 € par personne sans dessert!
C’est vrai que c’est bon et cette sauce secrete est delicieuse mais la première fois que j’y suis allé la quantité était plus génereuse, j’avais meme cru que c’était à volonté tellement nous avions mangé. La deuxieme fois l’était beaucoup moins mais les parts sont tout a fait suffisante pour un homme de 80kg…
Une chose quand meme tres agreable reste la qualité du service, tres professionnel et souriant! et c’est vrai que les tenues noires et tabliers blancs donnent une certaine tenue et un chic que l’on né voit plus partout!
