L'Entrecôte Saint-Jean

Paris à Montréal

2022, Peel street, Montreal, Qc, H3A 2W5

Montreal is packed with restaurants serving French cuisine. Bistros line the streets of Old Montreal and we are known for our modern French restaurants serving classics with a twist. But aside from the trendy, fusion restaurants, we also have some more traditional and authentic French restaurants. Par exemple, on Peel right below Sherbrooke lies a true Steak-Frites brasserie serving steaks the way they have always been served in Paris. 

This restaurant is purely for meat-eaters because, well, there is nothing else on the menu. Whether you order it À la Carte or as part of the Table d'Hôte, you will be having steak. If you order the Table D'Hôte you will receive a soup of the day, or tomato juice, a simple walnut salad, strip loin steak in an herbed butter sauce with fries (steak cooked exactly as you request it and fries perfectly crisp and golden), and finally some profiteroles au chocolat. All of this for the very affordable price of $29.95. 

Steak-Frites

For a taste of Paris in its simplest form, head to L'Entrecôte Saint-Jean, grab a seat for two by the window, a bottle of wine, engage in some people watching, and enjoy a perfectly cooked steak-frites in the heart of Montreal.
