Le Relais de Venise L'Entrecote - Marylebone

"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

"This French bistro in Marylebone has created a frenzy among TikTokers and tourists—but we don't think it's worth the wait. Queues begin to form at Le Relais De Venise L'Entrecôte at 5:30pm (it opens at 6pm) and from then on, tables are hustled in and out in 45 minutes flat, and crammed in so tight that they have to be moved to one side by apron-clad staff when you first sit down. The set menu ranges from sad (a soggy walnut salad), to good (the tender, perfectly cooked steaks), to great (the crispy, unlimited fries). It’s good-value but the frenetic pace and the fact you're elbow-to-elbow with the table next to you—most likely influencers or first-timers to the city—doesn't make eating here an enjoyable experience. You could give it a go for the novelty factor and the fries, but we'd recommend instead.  " - Sinéad Cranna

"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

"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
