Le Relais de l'Entrecôte

After passing by and wondering about the long lines at Le Relais de l'Entrecote in amazement, we decided to find out what's it all about. Arrived at 6.30pm and got inside 80 minutes later. The menu is basic: drinks, salad, entrecote with fries (you get a second serving if you wish, think it is the other part of the steak as the plates are medium size), and desserts. The meat is soft and tender, served in a special sauce, the fries are crispy. Dessert was really good. Overall worth the experience, in particular because the long wait in the line, and the small tables stacked together, give the opportunity to meet some really nice people from all corners of the world.

We visited this restaurant on a Friday evening and had to wait 1.5 hours to be seated, which shows how popular it is. Once we got our table, it was quite tight—the table had to be pulled out so we could slide onto the bench, and the seating was definitely cozy. The atmosphere was lively, but it was very loud, making it hard to have a relaxed conversation. The food was good, but not exceptional. The salad had a sharp mustard flavor, which we enjoyed, but it might not be to everyone’s taste. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the fries were fantastic—crispy and flavorful. However, the sauce didn’t live up to the hype; it was fine, but nothing special. The portions were generous, and the price-performance ratio was great. The service was nice—the waitresses had a lot to do but stayed friendly and efficient throughout, which added a positive note to the experience. That being said, after waiting so long, the meal didn’t feel worth it. It was a good, standard meal that you could easily get somewhere else without the long wait and the uncomfortable, loud atmosphere. If you’re curious to try it, go ahead, but don’t expect anything extraordinary or worth the hype.

We waited 2 1/2 hours to get seated - but it was totally worth it. The service was excellent, even though the waitress had a lot to do - she was quite friendly and hospitable. The food was excellent as well. Very much enjoyed the salad, bread, steak, house wine. Get there early.

This is definitely one of the touristy things to do in Paris, nonetheless it’s an incredibly fun experience. It’s delivers good food, ok wine and great service. Once inside, it’s fast, delicious and well priced.

The worst service I have ever experienced. Although the restaurant opens at 6:30pm we started waiting in line at 6pm. We got inside by 7:40pm and until then we had to wait in the rain. When we finally got in the staff started talking to us in French and even though we clarified that we don’t speak French they kept talking in French. Even water wasn’t served to us. Food as okay but nothing special. Wouldn’t recommend, simply a waste of time. I’d recommend trying out other nearby restaurants since the taste is in them is better. Hygiene was also an issue as our forks and plates weren’t properly cleaned. The place is small for its demand, they can easily expand since they have more than enough customers for what they deserve. Also the pricing is average for what you get but little more expensive compared to other restaurants.

A worthy wait! The steak with the cafe de paris sauce was simply delicious, the two servings makes one basically full. The meat was really soft and the fries were fresh, profiteroles were also really good. They make it with vanilla ice cream alongside with hot chocolate sauce. It was a different and delicious taste for me. All in all a great experience, be there an hour or 40 minutes before opening and you are good to go.

Good food with a perfect balance of quality, portion size and price. The concept is simple, they serve one main dish: steak and fries with their signature sauce. You simply choose how you want your steak cooked. The service is quick and the servers are pleasant. I highly recommend!

I don’t understand why this place is so famous. Paris is full of much better restaurants! You’ll pay €30 for six small slices of meat on your plate (in total)—that’s €5 per piece!!! Are you sure you want to wait three hours to eat here? I definitely wouldn’t do it again.

Is it touristy? Yes. But for good reason. This place was fairly close to our hotel. We were coming back from doing some site seeing and noticed a long line to a restaurant. We were getting hungry so decided to stop in. We waited about 20-25ish minutes in line, not too bad considering the line was wrapped around the block once we finished eating. The sauce the steak comes with is delicious!! The desserts were yummy and fries served hot. I prefer restaurants that have a small menu because they really take their time preparing. Our server was lovely as well. Great personality and on top of everything.

My favorite meal of the trip. They only have one thing on the menu, so you know it's good. The steak was perfectly cooked. The sauce was amazing and I still dream about it. The fries!! Amazingly crispy. The salad appetizer was not my favorite and there was too much dressing on it. Ate a second serving to top it all off. Would recommend going for weekday lunch to avoid long waits. We also volunteered to sit outside to avoid getting hangry.

Food: 2/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Steak: 2/5 Salad: 3/5 I arrived 15 minutes before opening and waited in line for 45 minutes, excited because of the great reviews. I started with wine and salad, and everything was good up to that point. However, once I bit into my first piece of meat, I was really disappointed. I honestly don't understand what people like about this place. The quality of the meat was inferior, if I had to compare, even USDA Choice ribeyes from Vons are better. Almost every piece was chewy, and I had to spit out all but one. I won't be coming back.

So the long line isn't much fun but once we were seated outside, we had great service and enjoyed the meal. It's a quiet street so we get to enjoy the warm summer evening. We shared a bottle of wine which is definitely the way to go. Then we started with the salad, which to be fair, is really your only option. They will accommodate a nut allergy. And they understand English well enough too. The unlimited steak and fries were a treat and really enjoyed both of them. The fries are a step above average and steak was tender with a great sauce. Come with an appetite. The desserts were also good. The best part? A very reasonable price for dinner in a city not known for value. Worth the visit!

I seriously think about this meal once a week since I first tried it three years ago! Before a trip to Paris, I was recommended this restaurant with very high praises. No reservations, a set menu with one item, but well worth the line! We actually lost track of time and ended up arriving a little before 9:30pm and there was a small line (maybe 20 minute wait). The restaurant has a cozy French bistro vibe. You receive bread and a starter salad with your meal. The real star of the show is the main dish - sirloin with the most amazing secret sauce and perfectly good pomme frites. The best part is you get a second helping when you finish! I cannot wait until I get to eat at Le Relais de l'Entrecôte again. A must try on your visit to Paris!

Yes, this is a touristy place to get steak frites, and even can be considered a small chain. There's even a location in NYC! But even with all that, the experience is so unique and the food so solid that there's absolutely nothing wrong with putting this on your itinerary. We came on a rainy Monday night and there was still about a half hour line to get in. Once you do get in though, things move incredibly fast, thanks to their minimal menu and setup. As soon as you're sat you're asked if you like your steak medium or rare, and a small salad is served to you. Sorry well-done people, Paris will not accommodate your waste of good meat. Since their menu is literally just steak and fries, it doesn't take long for your food to come out. While I got mine rare, it didn't have the toughness you might expect from undercooked meat. It cut and chewed easily, and of course was helped by that famous herby butter sauce. The fries were terrific - almost felt like elevated McDonald's fries, which is honestly pretty high praise. And of course, once you finish your first plate, you get presented with a second. It was fun surprising my wife with that. We also got a chocolate cake dessert to celebrate our first night in town. The inside is always busy and the decor makes it feel like a classic Parisian restaurant because...well, that's what it is. Don't worry if you're mostly an English speaker, with a non-existent menu it's super easy to get by. A fun spot I'd recommend to anyone flying in.

This was my bucket list item on my trip to Paris. I am a HUGE steak girl and cook it a lot at home. We arrived to a line just after opening. They had just let the first group in for dinner so we waited about 45 minutes for that group to start leaving. It wasn't too cold. There were a lot of college students nearby hanging out in the streets. The tables inside are very cramped together but we got a back corner. The salad was very horseradish heavy but I didn't really hate it. Finally the steak frites came around. The steak was perfectly cooked!!! The fries were a perfect golden and crisp but needed salt. The famous sauce I really didn't like! I scraped as much to the side as I could. I had a second portion and before I could say anything, the waitress started spooning tons of the sauce on the steak but I didn't want any more of the sauce! I scraped what I could and ate all the fries and steak. I swapped plates with my friend so I could have a clean plate for a third serving and they came and took our plates away. I was still hungry and ready for another portion. This made me pretty disappointed. I'm not sure if it is customary to only get two plates or not. I heard it was bottomless. We were offered dessert but it was not free. I got some because I was still hungry. Honestly, the food was good and I would eat it again but would let the staff know not to load up on the sauce. The steak itself was amazing. I am just sad that I didn't get my filling.

So we walked miles to find this place. We got there at about 7 and a small line had formed on the right side of the restaurant because only one lady was seating people. This place holds a lot of people, so it takes time for everyone to get seated. We were seated on kind of an end of a row, next to a station. We were kind of lucky I'd say because at least we weren't crammed in the middle of two strangers like our neighbors and their neighbors were. In fact, one party of 2 were shown their seats near us and they ended up not wanting to get seated there because it was too squishy. The hostess literally drags the table to the side so one person can slide in and then she pushes the table back, locking you in. Haha. It's kind of ridiculous. There is a drink menu, but everyone is served the same food. In fact, I think everyone on the table should order the same rareness too because I don't think the waitresses differentiate the rareness between individuals on the same table. We ordered medium and got rare/ medium rare. Which is fine. I was surprised some French people ordered well done with no sauce. The sauce is like a magical herby butter sauce that is delicious with the fries or bread. I like it, but it seems a little plain to get steak frites sans sauce. Everyone is also served a simple walnut salad. I think the salad is just as delicious as the steak, but that might just be me. So after you finish your salad, the waitress will come by with a plate of sliced steak and fries, once you finish round one, she will come back and serve the rest of your steak and more hot fries. Some people said no to round 2. I don't think they realize it's included.... This would be a 5 star experience for me, but I thought the steak was a bit chewy and I didn't like that we were packed in like sardines with tables literally dragged around trapping customers in their seats. Would I be back? Probably, but now I know to either go early to get seated at the better tables or ask to be seated at a better table.

I enjoyed it! To be honest, at first sight, it did not look very appetizing, but looks can be deceiving. You get a salad, bread, steak, and fries. Would recommend to experience, but I don't think I would come back again. I believe that this is all just personal preference. I've heard others who loved this restaurant.

When we got here, I wondered whether it was worth the wait. I had hoped to avoid the lines by showing up at 10 PM. Still had a 30 minute wait. But I have to hand it to them, they work like clockwork. So efficient people moving people in and out. Despite the busyness and action, the vibe and feel is still good. Feels Parisian. Never felt rushed. Service is good. The waitresses are quick and efficient. Since there's only one menu option, there's no wasted time to figure out what to order. You sit down and they start serving the food. The salad is delicious. The bread is amazing like in all Parisian restaurants. The steak is really amazing. Best we had in Paris. The sauce was great. Delicious for dipping the bread or fries into. So glad we came. Hate to say it. It's worth the hype and the wait.

Ambiance: This place is my favorite spot! Yes there is a long line but it is worth the wait. The space is pretty good and they can handle big parties. You can reserve and only show up. I went like 30 minutes before they open and there was such a long line. Service: The service was good. It is packed and busy but they are fast with the food and gives a lot of refills on steak and fries yum! Food $$: They have coke and wine haha. I would recommend that when it comes to the bread, streak, and frites! So good it melts in your mouth Audience: Solo Trip [X] Family Friendly [X] Friends [X] Date Spot [X] Recommendations/tips: Come 30 minutes before they open! Very viral and popular

Infamous steak frites in Paris. Couple of locations within the city. We went on a Wednesday night for dinner and the line took approximately 1.5 hours to be seated, however worth the wait. Simple pre fixed menu, starting with a walnut salad, then the steak and fries which was absolutely delicious and savory. They serve 2 portions which was the perfect amount. You can choose a dessert as well for additional cost. Great staff and servers.

LOVE this place! My mom and I have returned here every time we are in Paris because of how good the food and service is! While there is usually a wait, it is well worth it. You get 2 hefty portions of steak and fries with the most delicious sauce you'll ever taste. The staff is always nice and doesn't rush you. The profiteroles are also incredible.

Arrived 5mins before it opened for lunch. Line had formed, 10 party deep, but got seated right away. After seated, 2 questions were asked: how would you like your steak? what would you like to drink? A simple salad (mustard based dressing) & Baguette were served right away. Then a plate of steak (already sliced), fries and gravy, followed. Fries were thin and crispy, steak was standard, and I like the gravy (I realized not everyone likes the gravy). When we thought we're done, our server came again replenishing our steak & frites!! They have quite a selection of desserts, but we were too full to try. Overall, worth a try, service was great, restaurant has that vintage-y Parisian feel.

Long line, but worth the wait! Every bite was excellent, from the salad with mustard vinaigrette, to the steak frites with peppercorn sauce, and finally the vanilla heavy creme brûlée. Would I wait an hour for this meal? Maybe. It was very good but I think there is better steak frites in Paris at a better price point and less busy.

Food was delish. It was very delish. And fast. The service is fun and fast. Very delish and tiktok famous. Lots of locations and all the same options. Quick note they do medium or rare. There is no medium-rare here. lol. And don't ever ask for well. lol. Very very good!

The staff from our hotel told us abut this place and she did tell us there will be a queue. They open at 6:45pm at night, we got there by 6:13 and it's already a long queue. Luckily we are still able to get in first run. The service was actually very attentive and quite entertained.They only have one single menu with steak. And you only have medium and well done. They will divide the steak outside so you will feel you are in the some sort of camp waiting for food. They also would refill your streak and fries one more time. Overall. I like it. And if you don't mind waiting in a queue. You can sure stop for an experience.

There are so many restaurants in Paris for steak and frites but this one came highly recommended. They do a good job getting through the wait because there is no menu. They have steak salad and fries readily available you just choose how you want it cooked so you don't have to wait long to eat once you're inside. The food is good I'd give it a 4/5 flavorful and tender but not mind blowing. They have an extensive dessert list that I was unfortunately too full for after 2 rounds of food.

We stopped here on our trip to Paris for the traditional steak frites and they lived up to the hype. Steak frites and the sauce were delicious. We got a bottle of the house red wine and it was incredible. Service was efficient and friendly! Super cute spot, highly recommend you check it out

You know what you're getting when you come here. Steak and fries and their signature sauce. For any American, this is the Parisian Lawrys! Let's not forget the salad. So for anyone coming here for the first time, come early. It's first come first serve and theirs usually a long line. And pro tip, you get two servings for steak and fries so when you finish your first plate, ask them for a refill! Service is very nice and quick. They deal with so many tourist and foreigners, so they are very patient. When in Paris, this is a must! There's also a few locations around Paris and each place has its own personality, but usually have both indoor and outdoor seating!

If there were ever a restaurant that was worth the wait..it would be this one. I have waited in that line COUNTLESS TIMES and I would do it again and again. Amazing service and one of the best meals I have ever had, hands down.

If steak and fries are what you're looking for, give this place a try. This is the only thing they serve so no vegan or vegetarians need apply. We got there early and we still had a 45 minute wait. You'll have to decide for yourself if it's worth the wait, but hindsight being 20/20 if I had to wait for over an an hour, I would pass and eat somewhere else.

Salad: 3/5 walnuts and lettuce with Dijon dressing. Steak: 5/5 got medium, and there was still a nice pink. If you get medium rare I'm assuming it'll be a little bloody. Tender. Doesn't taste like iron. Gravy that came with it was pretty bomb after I put black pepper on it!! Fries: 5/5 pretty bomb. Made the meal very filling. They give you the first half of steak and fries, then when done they give you the second half. I would def come again. They don't do reservations. We stood in line for an hour. I heard average is 1.5 hours. If it's just two people, you may be able to cut the line. Cause they will sometimes skip big parties and find two people to fill up space. Almost like single riders in a Disneyland ride. Crème brûlée: 4/5. Had to get some where it was invented. I liked semi smokiness probably from the way it was burned? The brûlée layer was not as thick as I was used to. Didn't get a satisfying tap on crème brulee layer.

Amazing!! Steak was delicious, fries were perfect but the SAUCE !!!! We got there right when the opened and the line was quick. Service was awesome too, everyone was so nice!

This was supposed to be my very first meal in France but ended up being my second. After arriving in Paris, noticed that Le Relais de l'Entrocote was open late on a Sunday night and made a beeline walk to the restaurant only to be met by a jaw dropping line waiting to get in. More than 70 people were waiting to get in after 9:30pm! After waiting anxiously for 45 mins and not much progress, a white flag was needed, much to my dismay. Thankfully the itinerary allowed for a visit the next day at noon, which upon arriving, just flabbergasted again by the impressive following of more than 30 waiting to get in so close to open. Unlike the night before however, I did make it in and the food is just delicious. The steak, the gravy, the steak frites....the seconds,.. In my group, everyone desired the same cooked to rare for their steak which made it easy on our server. The frites were crispy and better than the local McD's in the area. Now I will say the seasoning could have been a little more pronounced and the salad was a little pedestrian but this was the quintessential experience I expected from steak frites in France. Our server might have been a little clumsy, but she was incredibly nimble on her feet (the seating is very tight) and efficient, which was all I needed for a fantastic meal. Before warned though, if you plan to partake in this experience, make sure you get here early and wait to get in!

We went on a weekday for dinner, arriving at 6:30 when the restaurant opens at 6:45...and then waited a little over an hour. The line moves pretty quickly, so don't be disheartened! As others have said, they just do steak frites with drinks and dessert on top. Our waitress said we could only order rare, medium, or well-done. I usually get medium rare and medium was great. Keep in mind that you get another serving of both steak and frites after your first plate is sent (if you want), as the first portion of steak is a bit on the small side. We also got crème brûlée for dessert, which was fine. I thought everything was good enough, but my husband loved it. The best part about the dinner for both of us was the sauce. If they don't heap it on, ask for more - because it is so good and really makes the dinner go from average to above average.

WHAT IS IN THE SAUCE??? Really happy I was able to come here, unlimited fries and multiple helpings of steak. I was charmed by the efficiency and briskness of the restaurant. We sat outside, got to feel a fresh breeze and the bustle of the street. Everything past the salad was heavy but delicious. The highlight is really the sauce they use. It is perfection, just tasty drowning it on the beef, drowning the fries in, ugh. It reminded me of chicken curry I've had from two specific sources of my life, and I plan on figuring out how to recreate it lol. You don't need my review as a recommendation, just go and see the line forming right before opening. :)

Be prepared to wait but it is well worth it! We arrived and were a little nervous about how long the line was but it moved relatively quick. Honestly once we got in we were confused on how they were seating everyone because i dont think we ever saw anyone walk out lol. But once you are in and you get set up with your meal it is a 10/10. I voted this as the best meal we had in paris. The gravy they pour over the top and the fries were amazing! I know this is kind of a tourist trapo but honestly it was so good that i didnt care. Come early dinner time to avoid most of that line but definitely prepared to have some waiting time before eating.

What sets Le Relais de l'Entrecôte apart is their dedication to perfection in a single dish--their famous entrecôte steak! This restaurant has mastered the art of simplicity by focusing on a single dish since 1959. It's their signature steak accompanied by their secret sauce and a side of fries. Did I mention the fries are unlimited?! Though the line was long (1.5 hours to be exact), the moment I had my first bite of steak (medium rare of course) , I was done for! The meat was tender and infused with such a rich sauce, which created a symphony of taste ala Remy when he had the strawberry and cheese in Ratatouille. I created the perfect bite consisting of medium rare steak, crispy fries and then dredged it in that special sauce. Finish off that perfect bite with a sip of your red wine and you'll see fireworks!! For dessert we finished strong with a Vacherins- a dessert with meringues, vanilla ice cream, raspberry sorbet and topped with a raspberry coulis and chantilly cream. (I'm drooling just typing this) The ambiance is Persian with warm wood walls and vintage posters everywhere! So so cozy. When in Paris, make sure to stop by and enjoy amazing flavors, attentive service and good company. Bon appétit!

This is THE place to go in Paris for Steak Frites. The service is incredible and the hostesses get you in and seated very quickly. We had an amazing meal as the fries came out hot and fresh and the steak was cooked perfectly. The best part of the experience was the pepper sauce of which our server made sure to give our entire party very generous portions. Great food and lots of laughs! Highly Recommended!

This was definitely worth the wait! Amazing service and delicious food. The steak frites was great and the peppercorn sauce was so good! This is a classic Paris experience that I highly recommend trying out if you have time! Great location as well.

Ah yes, the coveted Le Relais de l'Entrecôte! This was so good I wanted to come back twice! But alas, the wait is what deterred me. We waited in line about 30 minutes from opening and it began to rain and it was extremely cold (went in January). You must come early even before it opens to get in on the first wave of seating! Once inside and seated, the food comes quickly as most of know by now. The steak was delicious and of course what sends it over the top is that SAUCE! Excellent fries to accompany it and I cannot forget the starter salad. A wonderful meal and it MUST be included in your trip if you love steak frites!

I'd go back here in a heartbeat! Knowing this was first come first serve, we arrived about 30-45 minutes prior to opening and there was already a line out front. This place is so efficient - once in line, we were probably seated within 10 minutes. We were seated outside and it was lovely, but they also have a full indoor restraunt that was filled up. This place is a preset menu, with the only customer requests being beverage and how you want your steak cooked. Like clockwork, we were served a starter salad that was so light and refreshing. Immediately once finished, we received our steak frites covered in this magic sauce (no clue what's in it) but it was incredible. Wait staff didn't skip a beat, the minute you're running low on meat or frites they came by with "refills". Worth the wait - was incredible!

So! I waited an hour to get inside and let me give you my honest opinion. The food was so good, and the best part is you get refills on your food! The service is also great they are so fast getting people in and out! The dessert was also scrumptious and it was more then enough food!! Would I go back? Yes. Would I wait an hour again? Yes. So if you want to come here, get here early or just be prepared to wait bc the food it worth it!

BE PREPARED TO WAIT. Would have loved to come back more than once while we were in Paris if it wasn't for the wait. Come before it opens and be patient. They offer one main menu item and that's what you come for: the steak and frites!! You have the option to order it rare or medium, that's it. You get two servings of the steak and the fries and the sauce that comes on top is PHENOMENAL. Fries are the skinny kind and really really good. Definitely order red wine to go with your steak (the bottles are sooo affordably priced) and don't skip dessert. Their desserts are visually impressive and incredible delicious.

There's only steak and fries with this green buttery curry like sauce. Served table side, aside from the main entree there's about 20 deserts choices the portions are plenty. Also no take away/to go. No reservations, first come first serve and the lines get very long. So show up at least 20-30 min before it opens on weekdays and 45 min on weekends .you'll sometimes get lucky on Tuesday or Wednesday around 2pm no lines. Overall the atmosphere, experience, service and food was good. Steak was super tender wines are also very cheap but it's Paris so all wines are pretty cheap.

Food super yummy! Service is quick if you get there in time for the first seating. If you're just late enough to be at the beginning of the second seating it's a 45min to 1 hour long wait in the line before being seated. We just barely missed the first seating so had to wait the 30 min before they opened and then another hour on top of that.

Great food and service! Must come here if you go to Paris!! Get here early because line gets super long.

Absolutely magnificent! The food was incredible, and so was the wine and company (we were seated next to some other folks that we got to know quickly due to proximity lol). I love this place and 10/10 recommend. Do arrive earlier than we did... got in line 15 min after opening and waited 1.5 hours. But I will say that management runs this place incredibly well and they turn over their tables quickly without making you feel rushed or unimportant. The steak was SO GOOD (they'll ask if you want it medium or well-done) and the sauce and fries? Well, let's just say I sopped up every last bite. Highly recommend the house red wine (see photo in my review). I ordered the half bottle and it was more than enough for the two of us without meal. The ambiance is bustling and just... fun! And yes, be prepared to eat with a lot of tourists, but lots of locals were there, too, which tells me this place is legit.

My favorite restaurant in Paris and I came back twice despite having to wait in line in the cold. It's definitely worth the wait and I love how steak and fries are the only food so as soon as you sit down, you order how you want your steak cooked. I ordered mine medium and it came out perfectly and was tender. Not only the main food, but the desserts are AMAZING. I love the crème brûlée and lemon tarts. I wish they would just sell the desserts separately for takeout like a cafe

They only served one type of food which is steak they have no menu. They do have a menu for wine. Service is amazing a Parisian favorite

The service is terrible never come here again. The food sucks. The restaurant is dirty and the service not have planned.

Iconic restaurant with only 1 plate to sell, le entrecôte (steak with sauce and fries). Lunch has no line, dinner has huge line. Once you sit down, tell them how you want your steak cooked, "a point" (medium) is what we chose. First, comes with a salad, then you will get serve half portion of your steak and fries, after finished, you will get served the rest. The salad is fresh and good, the steak is not as tender but the steak sauce was good. The service was very good and fast. The toilet is not so clean.

We came across this lovely restaurant and both recognized the name, but weren't sure why. As we came up to the hostess area, one of the servers asked if she could tell us about the restaurant. She explained that all they do is serve steak Frites with salad. Dessert and drinks would be extra. We both recognized the restaurant from that description. We sat down and sure enough one of the waitresses (all of the servers appeared to be women which does not appear to be common in Paris) asked how we would like our steaks prepared. We both chose medium because we were afraid of Paris medium-rare. The steaks arrived at a true medium on the American scale. most interestingly, you get one serving of the steak right after your salad course and then a second serving after that. it also appeared that you could have bottomless fries if you wished. The fries are shoestring in nature, and were delicious hot and crispy. The sauce was hard to describe, and very unique. We variously described it as curry flavored, lemon tinged, au poivre like. It will take a more refined palate than mine to be able to decipher what is in this sauce. On the second serving of the steak, they bring it out on a platter swimming in the sauce. They put the cut steak on your plate and then spoon the sauce on as well. This restaurant is a place where a "the sauce is the boss " With a small tip the meal came to about $80 for two. We did not try the desserts, but we were not overly full. While we were sitting and talking, we looked the restaurant up online and found that you could wait in line for an hour or more on certain nights. We walked right up near 2 o'clock on a Monday afternoon and got right in with no wait. We sat outside in the traditional Parisian style, but the inside of the restaurant looked cozy, warm and very traditional. The servers all wore black dresses with white aprons, which was a nice touch.

Crazy line each night made us think we had to try it. The steak isn't that good. The sauce is pretty good. Fries are fine. Maybe because of second helpings people like it. Much better food at an average American restaurant.

Classic Steak Frites in Paris. Generous helpings of seconds, hot crispy fries with the option to salt to your liking. Feels traditional French dining, but does not feel too cramped inside. Friendly staff, reasonable prices. I'd veer on the side of ordering more well-done as some pieces of steak were awfully rare.

As everyone says, get in line about an hour before it opens if you don't want to wait up to 2 hours after it does open. The service was so nice and the experience is one you should try once, but the steak itself was slightly ruined by the sauce they serve with it. It's a weird gravy that makes the meat taste not as quality as it actually is. I would recommend adding the Dijon mustard at the table to fix the flavor. Once that's done, it's much more enjoyable. Also definitely order it rare if you usually eat medium rare. The medium is a true medium, so it was not for me. The creme brulee for desert had a great crust, and the profiteroles were tasty!

This dinner was so much fun! Yes there is a line but it's okay, enjoy the experience. The food was delicious and the service was fabulous. I loved the starter salad but the steak and fries....wow the fries! The steak is good and the sauce on the steak is divine. Desserts are fantastic if you have room. It is a nice setting and fun atmosphere.

Amazing dessert! !!!! I had medium and our group had med rare and theirs was perfect for me. The fries are berry good! They offer seconds on everything. We just loved the dessert it was perfect. The line goes quickly stay it out! We will be back!
