Le Relais de Venise L’Entrecote – Marylebone

I visited this establishment for a luncheon on a weekend. Although there was a queue, we were able to be seated promptly as it was just opening.

The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, and I appreciated the use of table covers for quick turnaround. The food was generally good, with the desserts being particularly noteworthy. However, I found the serving size for the steak to be somewhat small, and the price was slightly higher than average.

Overall, I had a positive experience and would consider returning in the future.

Came here on Saturday morning around 11:45am to wait for the first round dine in. It opens at 12:30. There is a long queue of people waiting though.

Great business model for simple food (Steak, Fries and salad) with secret steak sauce.

The steak is good with the unique sauce. I didn’t eat the fries but you would dip it with the sauce.
I didn’t have a great mood that morning so the eating appetite was impacted too. I appreciate the good intention to bring me over to try this No 1 ranking steak on the list from my friend.

If you are the steak lover. Come earlier to avoid the long queue.

Delicious. This was exactly what I expected and more. The salad and bread as a starter was perfect and the mustard dressing in the salad is delicious, it’s the perfect thing to start off with. The steak and fries was quickly brought out upon finishing the starter and it didn’t disappoint. The fries were crisp and well cooked with the steak also being cooked exactly how I asked for it. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect with their sauce but it was lovely and the perfect addition. I found the portion sizes to be perfect too.

The staff were extremely efficient without compromising on the service. I arrived just before opening on a weekday and was able to get into the first sitting easily. The staff were helpful and polite and the atmosphere was pleasant. I will definitely be going back and can’t get enough of this steak!

We read all the various 1 star and 2 star reviews and still visited.

We were lucky as it was the easter weekend so we only had to queue for 20mins.

Was it worth it? 100% Yes!

Staff were extremely kind and accommodating.
Food definitely tasted exceptional.
Portions? Definitely enough!

Realistically speaking… for £31 per person in London, that amount of portion of food and that tasty it’s definitely hard to find these days.

No complaints at all!

Was it worth waiting in the queue? Yes!

Luckily, we were first in queue so we were guaranteed a table!

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the walnut + mustard dressing salad as I don’t like mustard.
The fries were perfect (for me) as they were crispy and thin and didn’t get very soggy with the sauce! We all got our steaks rare and it was so succulent but the sauce was the cherry on top! Our second serving was just as big as our first and they gave us extra sauce!

The desserts were really delicious too. We ordered profiteroles and chocolate cake. The profiteroles were filled with vanilla ice cream and the chocolate they used for the sauce was top tier!
The chocolate cake (on the left) was really good but the one on the right was super rich and nutty but not too overpowering (my favourite of the three desserts).

It was very chaotic inside, but not surprising considering how busy they were, but I personally enjoyed how crowded and lively it was.
