Le Relais De Venise – L'entrecôte

It's an intuition! On the day of the visit, I really like the cowrin! No reservation.

The restaurant was highly recommended to us. There are no reservations taken. Just show up, (try 6:45 pm) stand in line and be superbly surprised. Excellent steak! Wonderful fun service. A night to remember. Our server was 'Maria' and she treated us so well! Ask for her and mention that we were from Saba in the Dutch Caribbean. She took very special care of us and we thank her for a magical evening with lots of extra care.

It is a tradition for me to come here at least once a year, so I think I can assess how/if the restaurant has developed. You have to queue up for quite some time, but it is part of the deal so there is no reason to complain. What you really can complain about is the non existing friendliness of the waitresses. How can people serving other people be so arrogant. When trying to order in french, I think waiters should appreciate the effort instead of showing you that your french is not perfect and replying in english (which is not perfect either by the way). The waitresses really make you feel like they cannot wait to get the table free for the next guests in order to increase revenues. The quality of the food is good, but not outstanding. The steak is better at other restaurants with the same concept that I will not name, but it is still good.Fries are good, too. Only the sauce is to die for! All in all, the good food cannot entirely make up for the unfriendliness of the waitresses. This is not the first time I have had a bad experience in terms of service, only I have hesitated before publishing a review and wanted my impression of previous visits to be confirmed by another visit. Nevertheless, I will be back for the good food.

We came here twice during our trip because we enjoyed our first visit so much! We also knew that, after running the marathon, we'd get plenty of food and there would be no faffing around reading menus. All that was needed was to let our waitress know how we liked our steak cooked and to order wine!

I have a meal here whenever I am in Paris. Been coming here for years. A little quaint for the uninitiated but have an open mind and you'll enjoy the experience. If you have a sweet tooth, the desserts are very good especially the profiteroles.
