Best Steak Frites in Paris!

[Anonymous]

Le Comptoir du Relais Saint Germain, 9 Carrefour de l'Odéon it is adjacent to Hôtel Relais Saint Germaine. The best steak frites we've had (three years running), charming, and not touristy. It's on the smaller side, but there is both indoor and outdoor seating.

We waited in line for something like 2 hours. There were people in line kind of ducking out to go get drinks at a nearby grocery and enjoying them in line.

Since steak and fries are the only thing on the menu, the only real decisions to make are whether you want the steak rare, medium, or done and what you want to drink.

They pile on the fries and aren’t shy with more helpings of meat either. And, as PP said, it's all delicious.

This sounds so sad.

It's absolutely wonderful. Because they do one thing and one thing only, they have perfected the most exquisite steak/sauce/fries. Best steak in Paris.

OP here - THANK YOU ALL for the recommendations. Just looking into Le Relais de l'Entrecote, and there are 3 locations - Montparnasse, St Germain des Pres, and Champs Elysees. Each seems to have it's own charm. Is there one in particular you loved? recommend?Thank you!

We went to the St. Germain des Pres as it was close to where we were staying. We actually went twice since my daughter loved it so much.

Honestly anywhere. It's a chain restaurant style dish. *yawns* Like asking where in NYC makes the best pizza.

While I’ve had some great pizza in NYC, I’ve also had some pretty bad pizza there. Yes, you can get bad pizza in NYC. So asking where to get steak frites, or pizza, isn’t really that outrageous.

Yeah, but PP yawned. He or she is so wise but weary of the world.

Le Relais Entrecôte is also a chain and there’s a very good one in NYC Midtown. OP not diminishing your visit to the restaurant in Paris but just in case you don’t get to go don’t feel so bad because you can always eat it in New York

The Le Relais Entrecôte restaurant interior was super packed and kind of smelled.
If I go back I'd eat outside.
