Nestled in the vibrant heart of Paris at 271 boulevard Pereire, Le Relais de Venise - l'Entrecôte offers a quintessential French dining experience centered around one iconic dish: steak frites. This restaurant is renowned for its no-frills, all-you-can-eat style, where the focus is on delivering perfectly cooked, flavorful steak paired with crispy, golden fries and a signature green sauce that keeps patrons coming back for more. The lively atmosphere, combined with a rich history of serving loyal locals and tourists alike, makes it a must-visit destination for lovers of authentic French cuisine.

No frills, all you can eat steak frites and a loooooong wait.

Waited 1.5 hours on a weekday evening, loaded with tourists.  Been here a few times before - but typically went a little early (and off-tourist season).  Was seated and they took orders right away.  There's not much to choose - you're there for steak frites.  Choose how you want it done and what wine to drink with.

You get a salad that is sorta just there - didn't eat much of it.  Then comes the steak frites and the gravy.  Was delicious and got about two more helpings worth.  Also ordered dessert - some ice cream / sorbet dessert with meringue.

All in all - it's a wait ... but if you're hungry and want to gorge on steak and fries - it's the way to go.  Just don't expect fine dining or a true bistro spot.  Would come back.

The blonde hostess was so rude and racist. We were waiting in line to go in and she kept letting other people that were white in front of us with the same party size. She had us waiting without acknowledging us and then she slammed the door in our faces and rolled her eyes and left us outside. Never have we experienced such racism. The treatment was despicable.

L'hôtesse blonde était tellement impolie et raciste. Nous faisions la queue pour entrer et elle laissait passer d'autres personnes blanches devant nous, de la même taille que nous. Elle nous a fait attendre sans nous saluer, puis elle nous a claqué la porte au nez, a levé les yeux au ciel et nous a laissés dehors. Nous n'avions jamais connu un tel racisme. Le traitement était ignoble.

The line always forms here at least 15-20 minutes before they open, which is always a good sign. This steak frites institution is off the tourist routes and areas, so I find it very authentic and less touristy than others that are recommended out there on social media. They packed us in like sardines in the back of the restaurant once it opened-which is not surprising for a lot of French places that segregate the tourists from the locals or regulars. I took no offense, the food is still the same and the service still attentive and prompt without being intrusive like everywhere in France-and like I wish it would be in the US.

No "is everything good?" or "do you need anything else?" or any other silly interruptions like that. You just get salad, then the steak and frites, and then another plate of steak frites once you're done with the first one. It's a generous portion but not too much.

 If you like your steak well done, you probably shouldn't order steak in France, if you order bien cuit (well done) you'll still get what probably many Americans might consider medium to medium rare. If you order medium rare it will be rare. Don't let that stop you-it's all delicious and even a non-steak eater that came with us ate steak and enjoyed it without a doubt. Order some of the house red wine and soak up the delicious sauce with your bread. 

Don't let the lines or the crowded space inside stop you. This is a classic French institution that has been around for ages, all the waitresses are dressed in classic french uniform and have been there forever, and the food is great. And don't forget to save room for Profiteroles for dessert!

Love this place! We've been to other locations in Geneva, Zurich, New York City and now the original in Paris. Great steak frites, always nice staff and tables are a bit close together but it's a charming vibe.

I came here with some friends and we had a phenomenal experience. The wine, food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. We waited in line for a table for about 20-30 minutes, but it was worth it! They only serve steak frites, and the steak was cooked perfectly! The sauce on top of the steak was divine and you also get 2 servings of the food, so we left extremely full! You get a salad with honey mustard dressing before the meal the dressing really impressed us because it had a little kick to it. The service was really great too. They kept coming around with more steak frites until we had to say no because we were so full. My friends and I each tried a dessert too and they were all delicious, but the 3 layer chocolate ice cream cookie cake was to die for! I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!

So good! Go early or late to avoid the lines. Worth the wait and bring your appetite. 

Our server was fabulous. She explained how it worked since there is only one main dish served.

Le Relais is an experience, no doubt about it. They serve one entrée and one entrée only: steak frites. The restaurant opens at 6:45 PM, but if you show up at 6:40 PM like we did, expect to find a small crowd already queued up. We missed the first seating by about 15 people. Worth noting--groups larger than two get skipped over often in favor of couples, so your party size can really affect your wait.

We waited just over an hour and made the second wave. Once seated, the server is immediately asking how many servings of steak you want and what wine to pair with it. The table is still warm from the last party--it's clear they're trying to turn tables quickly for a third (and maybe fourth) round.

The food comes out fast and hot. The server plates half your steak and fries and covers it in their signature sauce, leaving the second half warming nearby under a flame until you're ready. The portions are modest--just a few cuts of steak per round--but the pacing works and keeps the line moving. The steak and fries were fine. Not life-changing, but enjoyable. Pro tip: use the hot mustard on the table--it adds a welcome kick.

The real standout? The desserts. We tried the chocolate cream puff and the strawberry whipped creation--both were phenomenal and easily the most memorable part of the meal.

If you're up for a bit of a wait and want a classic Parisian experience, this place delivers. Just temper your expectations on the steak and come hungry for dessert.

This was our first restaurant we tried in Paris we waited about 45 minutes to enter. IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT lol the steak frits were phenomenal but the other best part is if you don't eat steak they have a French fry platter with salad and a cheese platter! I was in heaven lol whatever the sauce is made of for the fries and steak is something I have never tried before. The order of steak and fries comes with two plates worth and a third of just steak so it's a lot of food for a small menu.  The desserts were also great and tasty. Highly recommend I will be trying the NYC location as well now that I know we have one in the city

We were seated almost immediately, the hostess was very nice. We sat in a long combined table of 8 with different pairs on each end. Which is very different from what I'm used to. I once heard that all they ask you is "how would you like your steak cooked" and it's true that's the first thing they told me because asking me what I'd like to drink. Almost immediately we got a salad and it was good, a little spicy for my taste. The steak and fries were served shortly after that. At first I was like "this is it" but the end of my plate I was like it's good it's filling but what I didn't realize is that there's a part 2. When they come around with more fries and more steak. It was cooked to perfection the fries were a nice compliment to the steak. After that we ordered desert, it was good but ehh. Definitely worth going and waiting for a table.

Must try steak frites with secret green sauce! The wait is no joke, tourists and locals alike line up for 40 ~ 90 mins to dine at this extremely popular establishment. I was introduced to it by my French colleagues 14 years ago and having been coming here every time I visit Paris. Service here is real French style: non-pretentious, direct and efficient. It has a straight toward menu where everyone is served the same amazingly fresh and delicious walnut salad, baguette, steak and frites twice (half portion each to keep it fresh), and the only difference is choice of drinks and desserts (yes, plural, try as many as you can!). While the steak quality is not too grade (and you are not charged as such), it's on the leaner side which matches perfectly with the mystery butter herb sauce.
