Le Relais de l'Entrecôte (Rue Saint-Benoît)
Le Relais de l'Entrecôte
A famous Saint-Germain steak-and-fries spot serving a single set menu, famous for its secret sauce. Reservations are not accepted.
Located on Rue Saint-Benoît in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, this classic restaurant offers only one option: a walnut green salad to start, followed by sliced steak served with a secret sauce and freshly fried thin matchstick fries. The steak is served in two rounds to keep it hot; you only need to tell the server your preferred doneness. Desserts like chocolate profiteroles can be ordered à la carte after the meal. The secret sauce recipe is highly guarded and is the most praised element, though some recent diners have noted the meat can be a bit chewy. Reservations are not accepted; seating is first-come, first-served. Queues of up to two hours have been recorded on Saturday nights, so arriving before opening is the safest bet. Nearest metro: Saint-Germain-des-Prés (Line 4).
