Housed within the same premises as the illustrious &MADE helmed by 3-Michelin Star Chef Bruno Menard, it would take a walk-in diner to discover L'Entrecôte Express. The Parisian-style steak house has kept true to its origins in France nearly a century ago - having just 1 main course on the menu, leaving you with only the battle to pick your choice of starters and/or desserts.L'Entrecôte Express' plat du jour aka. featured dish of Entrecôte Steak uses only premium cuts of beef prepared to your choice of doneness and the special thing about the steak - it's lavishly covered with the secret recipe sauce that is proclaimed legend-wait for it-dary!
Trimmed Entrecôte Steak - $29.90The steak was served all sliced and ready to eat. Just seeing that nice warm pinkish cast to the meat, the chef has got to really know his meat temperatures - it was medium tending towards medium rare, tender and juicy. Especially when eaten with the butter-based sauce which was a flavour explosion on its own. Primary flavours that lingered on the palate were butter and a hint of mushroom. Plated alongside the steak was a very generous portion of golden fries, great eaten with the sauce as a dip.
Did You KnowThe words in French to ask for the doneness of your steak:
bleu (rare), saignant (medium rare), a point (medium) or bien cuit (well done)
It was definitely a meal that widened my scope when it comes to steaks. The sauce was indeed nice, but having a premium cut of beef sitting so deep in sauce is just not my thing. Steak lovers who place a lot emphasis on their steak sauces should really go try it out though!
P.S. Just deviating slightly from L'Entrecôte Express, The Lamb burger from &MADE which my colleague had. Awe-inspiring right? A small introduction to the world of gourmet burgers and 3 Michelin stars standards.
