Ideally located across the street from the main pedestrian
shopping area in Bordeaux, L'Entrecote can best be found by spotting the long,
winding queue of people wrapping around the block. The flood of locals and tourists begin to amass well before the restaurant opens its doors for the lunch service at noon and again at quarter past seven in the evening, and for good reason. L’Entrecote is known far and wide for having the most delicious meal.
You heard that right: THE most delicious meal. L’Entrecote
has a set menu with only one selection which includes fresh baked bread, walnut
salad and the main dish of thinly sliced, trimmed sirloin steak served in a
secret sauce with a heaping portion of lightly salted matchbox fries. Swimming in an unknown concoction of velvety butter and dijonnaise, the perfectly prepared beef is the star of the dining event and truly melts in your mouth. In addition to its famous nineteen euro dish, the restaurant also offers both house red and white wine and a full dessert menu for an additional fee.
Conveniently located in the five French cities of Toulouse, Nantes, Montpellier, Lyon and Bordeaux, L’Entrecote has embodied the motto, “focus on just one thing and do it really well,” for its last fifty years in business.
In Bordeaux, the restaurant is a finely tuned machine filling up its four floors with nearly two hundred hungry patrons within minutes of opening and serving up “delish” without delay. During our weekend stay, we visited L’Entrecote twice and are keen to check out the other locations next time we find ourselves in France.
