Un visite a L'Entrecôte c'est pas réinventer la cuisine, c'est simple & efficace. Une bonne entrecôte avec sauce moutarde & des frites julienne pour un bon prix. Bon service.
Joli restau, bien situé. Service vraiment attentionné & gentil. Steak tendre mais servi carrément noyé dans une sauce moutardée grasse. Frites fades & molles. Aucun légume. Salade peu appétissante avec vinaigrette un peu amère. Vraiment pas savoureuse. Soupe ok. Profiterole de niveau cafétéria. Je ne retournerai pas personnellement. Je préfère payer un peu plus cher & manger mieux.
Très bon repas, potage champignons, salade Boston & noix entrecôte de boeuf & frites & profiteroles au chocolat je recommande ce restaurant pour un bon repas Bistro à la parisienne.
Une formule steak-frites qui s'inspire par bonheur des restos L'Entrecôte de France. Leur sauce, presqu'aussi savoureuse que l'originale, & dont on garde le secret, fait les délices des connaisseurs. Le service & le charme de l'établissement font qu'on aurait souhaité des copies ailleurs au Québec. Longue vie à L'Entrecôte Saint-Jean!
Ate here on a very snowy night after Christmas. The restaurant was warm & accomodating, & the staff were very pleasant. We enjoyed a very relaxed meal of steak frites with a very savoury sauce, & shared a delicious slice of Sugar Pie.
The meal was very good value & the portions were excellent quality & very hearty. Highly recommended!
