Classic steak frites with secret sauce and 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
"I found the famous Parisian steakhouse’s New York outpost to be polarizing — it’s well known and drew huge lines when it opened, but in my view it ranges from merely fine to not so great despite the price." - Melissa McCart

"A rival in New York, Le Relais de Venise L'Entrecôte — founded by Paul Gineste de Saurs and opened in Paris in 1959 — reopened in New York last November and sells a plate of steak, salad, and unlimited fries for $33.95 before tax and tip; its New York comeback has drawn mixed reviews, and Bucher quips that in New York it will be “a war of the sauces” between his place and L'Entrecôte." - Melissa McCart
"Long beloved for its affordable steak and all-you-can-eat fries, this recently reopened institution draws long lines, proving New Yorkers are happy it’s back." - Laura Begley Bloom
