The classic french combination of Steak Frites could not be done better than at restaurants specializing in the "contre-filet" cut of sirloin. Just a nice filet and fries (perfect for dipping in the sauce or the steak drippings.)
There is one particular restaurant that is known for producing a delicious version of the entrecote and only the entrecôte.
You guessed it, the restaurants using the name L'Entrecôte.
Here is the website for the particular group of these owned by the son of the creator/owner of original Le Relais de Venise- L'Entrecôte.

Their concept is simple. Serve one recipe and perfect it so that every dish is served within that same high standard. Let me tell you, they have only one item on the menu, and all we had to choose was the "point de cuisson" (how you want your meat done) and drinks. They do the rest, and the secret is in the sauce. The server brought out a plate with half of our serving of the steak and fries. Then they place a silver platter on the table lit underneath by a candle to keep the rest of the meat warm for later. Genius.
Here are some photos we took of that nice meal. Oh yeah, they have sinfully good desserts too...

| oh yeah baby. look at that buttery sauce. What is in it?!? |

| There were three of us, and you can see the three portions have a different cooking point. |

| As if we needed complimentary bread... but they gave us some anyway! |
