L’Entrecôte Saint-Jean a pignon sur rue en plein cœur du Vieux-Québec, un joyau du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, à quelques pas de la porte Saint-Jean. Le restaurant a ouvert ses portes en 1983, et la formule, d’origine française et inspirée du concept déjà existant à Paris et Genève, est demeurée la même depuis toutes ces années : l’entrecôte, ses frites et sa sauce secrète ! Avec ses murs de pierres, et sa terrasse en période estivale, notre bistro français vous promet une expérience chaleureuse… et savoureuse !

It's in the center of old town. The staff was great & patient. It's famous for steak & fries. Strongly recommend going for the prefix deal. With an additional $14 Canadian dollars you get salad, tea/coffee, & dessert. The steak was tender & the fries were crispy.
We had the steak at L'Entrecôte Saint-Jean & it was absolutely incredible! It was perfectly cooked-tender, juicy, & packed with flavor. The signature mustard sauce was delicious & went so well with the crispy fries. The service was excellent-very friendly, attentive, & professional. The cozy French bistro atmosphere added a lovely touch to the whole experience. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Québec City
Very nice experience, went in with no expectations, & we were all handily won over. Delicious food all around, excellent value as well. My only regret was not asking for a little more sauce while eating my meat, but our server did bring some out so I managed to finish the fries. Like a classy frites sauce.
I have a new favourite sauce for steaks to try & recreate until my next trip back. This was a lucky find, not tourist central it seems, well worth it.

We were thankful to be accommodated on a busy Friday night for our party of five. We started with a basket of bread & butter. The kids' menu was simple, & the kids actually finished their pasta with tomato & meat sauce-so that's a win! I had a salad topped with shredded duck, which turned out to be a surprisingly good combo.
We also tried the entrecôte set menu, which included soup, salad, a 9 oz steak, profiteroles, & coffee or tea. Overall, we enjoyed our family meal, but there's definitely room for improvement.
Some suggestions: offering freshly baked bread would elevate the start of the meal. Presentation could also be a bit nicer-everyone takes photos of their food these days! The soup was great, but the salad dressing from the set menu wasn't very tasty. The steak, however, was cooked perfectly-we ordered both medium & medium rare, & we'd definitely go with medium rare next time. It came with fries, which unfortunately had no seasoning at all. Just plain fries, which felt like a missed opportunity.
The dessert of two profiteroles with vanilla ice cream & chocolate syrup was a nice way to end the meal. Coffee & tea were included, but the coffee tasted burnt-like the end of the pot. I didn't bother asking for a replacement since the overall experience was still pleasant. Service was exceptional - busy night but very attentive to our needs.
I wouldn't recommend this place if you're a picky eater like me. I only ended up here because the restaurant I originally planned to visit was closed, & this one was nearby & convenient.
It was my last day in Quebec, & up until this point, I'd had nothing but amazing food. Unfortunately, this place broke that streak. Honestly, it reminded me of eating at Applebee's back in the U.S.-a place I never go.
A gentleman greeted me & seated me in the center of the dining area, even though there was a perfect table for two by the window that was available. He greeted me in French, & I responded with'Hello.' I had the feeling he didn't appreciate that. As I sat there, I realized this restaurant catered more to locals.
The server seemed busy, & I had to wait quite a while for both her & my food.
The meal was underwhelming. I ordered a set course, & the soup was the only thing I truly enjoyed. The main was duck poutine with a pile of French fries, which were soggy & overcooked.
The dessert was disappointing too-frozen éclairs. The coffee was bitter & tasted burnt; I couldn't even finish it.
The bathroom is completely filled with the pungent smell of harsh chemicals & has an industrial appearance.
food was pretty mediocre, fries were not even as good as mcdonalds (dry, not crispy). sauce was less flavoured than i expected & steak was criminally underseasoned although cooked okay, though leaned towards the rare side. ambiance was comfortable but louder than i expected, but understandable since they were packed. overall not worth the price tag, server didn't check in to see how our meal was. i get that it's a cheaper place to get steak but you can find better food someplace else for the same price. won't be returning
The food... whatever you do, do not get the 3 course Entrecôte dinner. Get a different dish. (1a) the bread was good (1b) the salad has no flavor & the walnuts were stale (1c) the carrot soup was ok (3) the main dish tasted mass-made & mediocre. We asked for medium-rare steak & it was raw. We had to ask 2 more times to make it more well done. After the 1st time it was still raw. After the 2nd time it was very well fried & charred. The fries were sub par. The meat has no seasoning & no flavor. (5) The dessert was good. Side Note: the salmon rilette appetizer was pretty good The service was acceptable. Nothing to write home about. Toilet paper missing in one of the bathroom stalls... it was not replaced for 1.5 hours before service & after service. Dissapointing food. Service ok. Just meh. Would not want to go here again.
Everything about this place is absolutely stellar. From the lighting & ambiance, to the food...it was all next level. Not only is the food delicious, but if you opt in to their steak & fries meal, you get an entire 4 course meal for only $38/person. Incredible!
