We were at L'Entrecote Saint-Jean on a Tuesday evening, mid-May, a party of four. We did not expect it to be so crowded, we had to wait some 45 minutes to be seated. The food is excellent, especially if you are into their specialty. (Hint: the restaurant name means'St. John Ribeye'). The atmosphere is just so-so. It is somewhat disappointing to see that the tables are covered with paper. The service was fine if somewhat impersonal. Food came faster than expected, seeing how long we waited to be seated I was expecting longer wait. I've been here some two years ago, & I remember having the same impressions as now. What we had (steaks & beers) cost us about 60 CAD (45 USD) per person, tip included.

During the evening time you will enter through the side street. The atmosphere is close quarters & very loud due to the restaurant being busy. Service was good, but at times slow & due to the crowds of people. The steak frites comes in 5, 7, & 9 ounces. It was good but not great, but for approximately $30 CAD it is about what you would expect. Overall I would recommend going, but make sure you make a reservation in advance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars!

L'Entrecôte Saint-Jean is amazing! The quality of the food is outstanding, especially considering it's located in such a touristic area. The servers are incredibly friendly & patient with non-French speakers, which made the experience even better.

But honestly, the food speaks for itself - absolutely amazing! Highly recommended!
