I have two loves: Entrecote in Paris and In-N-Out Burger in LA....
Returning to Paris after a four day carb fest in Saint Tropez/Ramatuelle, I was on a hunt. A howl and a whine and I found myself walking at a pace that might even be described as a trot to le "Relais de l'Entrecote".
Fortunately, the "New Economy" has thinned usual lines of tourists waiting for a table at this Parisian establishment, and I was seated right away. Usually, I dine alone at Entrecote as most of my Parisian friends wouldn't be caught dead in such a touristy restaurant.
Like In-N-Out, Entrecot offers little choice and has few complications. There is one question to answer and two to ask: "How do you want your meat cooked" followed with "May I have a half bottle of red?" and later "May I have the Profiteroles au Chocolat?"
All three locations are always full of American tourists and smiling French Waitresses. In-N-Out usually sets me back about $6, while Entrecot sets me back about $60.
I love le "Relais de l'Entrecote", and I'm not ashamed!
