Au Boeuf Couronné - Review - 19th Arr. - Paris - The Infatuation

"While this place won’t exactly inspire you to don your finest gown, it still captures Old World refinement. It’s the oldest steakhouse in Paris, with a ’30s-era dining room still lined with golden hat racks and Art Déco light fixtures. Giant portraits of shaggy cows confirm that the French are as comfy as ever with knowing the source of their beef, here served as red and rare as the velvet chairs. Choose from twelve cuts of dry-aged French beef, including a 300-gram entrecôte or 1.2-kilo beef rib for two, displayed whole like the gem it is before being expertly sliced and served with puffed potatoes. Don’t miss the pepper sauce, which doesn’t hide the spice behind layers of heavy cream. photo credit: Wenkang Shan" - Emily Monaco
