Le Relais de Venise L’Entrecôte is a truly unique dining experience—simple, elegant, and absolutely delicious. The concept is brilliant: no menu, just perfectly cooked steak frites with their signature secret sauce, served in two generous portions to ensure your plate is always hot and fresh. The steak is consistently tender and flavorful, and the fries are crisped to perfection. The green salad that starts the meal is refreshingly light, with a classic mustard vinaigrette that sets the tone for what’s to come. The atmosphere is lively and Parisian-chic, with efficient, friendly service that keeps everything moving smoothly despite the crowds. It’s a popular spot for a reason—expect a bit of a wait, but it’s always worth it. Whether you’re a local or visiting the city, this place is a gem for anyone who appreciates a well-executed classic. I’ll definitely be back!

Great value for money here - the steak and fries are good, and the dessert options are impressive. Bottled wine is close to retail price which is crazy. Didn’t really enjoy the salad as it was doused in sauce. Service is attentive.

Amazing food, and love that they come back with seconds for the steak and fries! Even my kids were devouring everything! I also got the half bottle cotes de Bordeaux at a reasonable $16 which paired very well with the rest of my meal. A repeat for my family!

A Classic Parisian Experience in the Heart of NYC Le Relais de Venise is truly a gem! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and efficient. The staff made us feel welcome without being overbearing — a perfect balance. The star of the show, of course, was the food. The signature steak-frites were cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, and the secret sauce is absolutely addictive — rich, creamy, and full of depth. The fries were crisp, golden, and served generously (we loved the second helping!). The green salad with walnuts to start was fresh and light, setting the tone for a perfectly paced meal. The French bistro ambiance transported us straight to Paris, with cozy seating, charming décor, and a buzz of happy diners all around. We also appreciated the simplicity of the menu — they focus on what they do best, and they do it flawlessly. Highly recommend this spot for anyone who wants a classic French dining experience with great food and top-tier service. We’ll definitely be back!

Came here for lunch and had a wonderful experience. The salad was okay but we're here for the steak and fries which was excellent. They are served in a small plate but don't worry, the come around with seconds. For a price of $38, it's a good deal. The dessert was meh, just stick to the entrée.

The preset meal at Le Relais de Venise was perfect and nicely balanced. The salad was light and refreshing, and the steak and fries were cooked just right. Had a wonderful dinner overall—the French wine pairing was spot on, and the profiteroles and crème brûlée were the perfect sweet finish. Tried the Porto sweet wine with dessert—absolutely divine. The design and service were excellent, and the place was busy and full of energy. Couldn't have asked for a better meal.

Food was amazing. The best part: you get more refill of fries and entrecôte. The appetizer salad they bring is also excellent. They serve wine instead of balsamic with the bread, which I found pretty interesting. The taste was incredible. They have plenty of desserts.
