Classic French steak-frites with secret sauce and wine
"We can’t stress enough how much the juice isn’t worth the squeeze with this Marylebone queue. People will tell you that the steak at French spot Le Relais De Venise L'Entrecôte is good and well-priced, and you get two lots of chips. Sure, but you’ll also be hustled in and out in an indigestion-causing 45 minutes flat. Which is inevitably less time than you queued for. 2pm is a bit of a sweet spot, failing that 5:30pm" - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
"For a place with such a long name, Le Relais De Venise L’Entrecôte serves a short, simple menu that consists of steak, chips, and baguettes. You should know that there’s also a famous secret sauce and unlike your local chicken shop that claims the same, this sauce definitely isn’t ketchup mixed with mustard. Heads up, it’s walk-in only so it’s a good shout if you’re looking for a last-minute option." - heidi lauth beasley
"Your colleague called in sick today. As a result, you have to do some actual work and someone called Carl keeps asking for ‘the numbers’. At some point (11.23am, to be exact) you just can’t think thoughts anymore. But you are thinking about lunch. At Le Relais de Venise de l’Entrecôte, they do the thinking for you. And the thought is always steak and chips smothered with their famous sauce, because that’s the only thing they serve. Oh, and dessert too, which is always a necessary bonus to yourself for trying to work so hard." - heidi lauth beasley, eileen twum
"Until the 18th October, this steak spot will be continuing their EOTHO discounts.The discount applies in their Marylebone, Soho, and City restaurants, and you have to show your server this Instagram post." - rianne shlebak
"The London branch of steak restaurant Le Relais de Venise is famous for only having one option. It’s always been like that. You get steak. You get special sauce. You get french fries. And you get a green salad. Somethings never change. But somethings do. And now, for a limited time only - or until the pandemic is over - you can order delivery of a baguette filled with steak, sauce, and french fries. The only choices you need to make is whether you want more fries on the side and which of their four desserts you’re going to get. Order here." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
