Le Relais de Venise l'EntrecôteB+

5 Throgmorton St, London EC2N 2AD · French steakhouse restaurant, French restaurant · Cheapside

A no-frills steak-frites institution with fast turnover, a memorable sauce, and a loyal following, but the value hinges on whether you accept a very fixed, very expensive formula with frequent service complaints.

The verdict

Le Relais de Venise l'Entrecôte delivers reliable steak-frites execution with solid food quality and exceptional service speed, but inconsistent preparation and variable service warmth prevent higher performance. The formula is focused and efficient rather than ambitious—ideal for diners seeking a brisk, no-nonsense French ritual, though tight seating and a limited menu limit broader appeal.

One caveat: Some diners feel the steak portions are smaller than they expect for £31-£40 once service is included.

What to order

• Trimmed Entrecôte Steak 'Porte Maillot'
• Famous sauce / green sauce
• French fries

What diners say

• That satisfying “one thing done right” feeling people keep coming back for
• The signature sauce and crisp fries when they land hot and fresh
• The efficient, almost clockwork service when the room is busy but controlled
