The Best Thing We Ate Last Night: Steak Frites at Le Relais de Venise L'Entrecote

By Malika Dalamal

When it opened in 2005, the Marylebone French brasserie Le Relais de Venise l'Entrecôte introduced us to the no-reservations, no-menu formula that is now so popular in London.

All these years (and two additional London branches) later and there is still a line of people waiting to order the set menu, which includes a walnut salad followed by entrecôte steak with chips, garnished with a special mustard-based secret sauce.
