Steak Frite par Excellence @ Entrecote

Don't make a mistake, get the steak. 

To celebrate my friend K's new job we decided to treat ourselves to lunch at Entrecote, a french bistro bordering on the botanical gardens that we had both heard very good things about. Neither of us were disappointed.

Entrecote starts early in the morning with excellent breakfast options, however the star attraction, which starts at lunchtime and continues late into the night, is the steak frite.

It is their signature dish, and at just on $40 a head, it is very well priced for the quality.

We both ordered the steak frite, and for our $39.90 got a truly excellent, dry aged, porterhouse perfectly cooked and absolutely melt in the mouth tender. It was topped by a simply divine butter and herb sauce and served along side a generous helping of super crispy french fries.

You do make friends with salad when it is this perfect an accompaniment. 

The salad that came with it was equally good, very fresh and beautifully dressed with a tart but not overwhelming dijon dressing and sprinkled liberally with caramalised walnuts.

The atmosphere at Entrecote was great too and the staff (both of ours actually french) were lovely too. The fresh bread with French butter on arrival also helped to get us in the Parisian mood!

Head along next time you have something to celebrate, or if you just feel like a good feed! You won't be disappointed.
