Restaurant with bar appreciated for its simple formula with fresh products
Paul Gineste de Saurs launched this restaurant in Paris in 1959, followed by Toulouse, Bordeaux, Nantes, Lyon and Montpellier. The formula is simple and there's no choice: a walnut salad for starters, followed by a 170-gram slice of striploin with home fries (as much as you like) and his famous sauce. The sauce, the recipe for which is jealously guarded, is a delightful accompaniment to tender, delicious meat. All products are fresh and prepared to order. Inside, on several floors, you'll find the black and tartan wall decor and the lemon yellow that brightens up the tablecloths, menus and waitresses' outfits. Two wines to choose from: a Bordeaux, Réserve de l'Entrecôte and a Faugères. If you still have a bit of appetite left, try the desserts: fresh pineapple carpaccio; for those with a sweet tooth, dare to try the profiteroles! Be patient, as there are often many people waiting outside the bar, ideally around 7 or 10 pm.

My wife and I pass this place often, and it typically has a long line to get in, so we took a chance one recent rainy evening when there was no line at all. We were not disappointed. The starter salad was simple and straightforward, the steak was relatively tender and flavorful, the fries were plentiful, and the house wine was pleasant. The service was cheerful, and the ambiance was convivial. Is it worth waiting in line for? I suppose it depends on the weather.
Seul bémol, le restaurant n'est point généreux.
Avec six menus pris, la sauce est bien chiche,
Supplément à 4 euros, trop peu, malheureux.
L'ambiance, hélas, chaque table collée,
La serveuse insistait, nous serre à foison.
Repas inconfortable, espace compressé,
Mais le goût, lui, demeure en perfection.
Jamais déçu par la formule ????
