Iconic steak frites with secret sauce & unlimited fries
"When the Midtown outpost of Le Relais de Venise L'Entrecote opened—a chain with locations in London, Paris, and Mexico City—there was regularly a line down the block. Now that the hype has died down, as long as you don’t need to wait, you can have a perfectly fine time eating the single menu item: rib eye steak with chicken liver sauce and a side of fries. At $38, it’s not a bad deal, and the novelty is fun, but considering the steak is nothing special, we can’t in good conscience tell you to wait more than 15 minutes for it." - bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah
"Le Relais de Venise L’Entrecôte, the famous steakhouse from Paris with four locations around the world, offers a steak frites experience that ranges from merely fine to not so great despite the price." - Melissa McCart

"If you, like us, are constantly lurking in the steak frites corners of the internet, we have good news: after a two-year hiatus, Le Relais de Venise has reopened in Midtown East. The Paris-based restaurant offers exactly one menu option—steak frites—priced at $34. It comes with a walnut salad and unlimited chicken liver-and-butter based sauce, so you might catch us sneaking in a thermos to bring some home. The lines are already long. We checked out Le Relais de Venise. Read our first thoughts here." - Will Hartman, Willa Moore
"The famous steakhouse from Paris, Le Relais de Venise L’Entrecôte, reopened in Manhattan offering an eight-ounce steak with fries, salad, and bread for $35. Despite the price increase, New Yorkers are lining up for hours in inclement weather to dine here. The steak is served in two portions with a secret green sauce, and the restaurant does not take reservations. Diners are seated close together, and the steak quality is debated as better than before but not as good as in Paris." - Luke Fortney
