Between iconic bistros, butcher-restaurants, and gourmet tables, Paris is full of addresses dedicated to meat. From all-you-can-eat sirloin steak to exceptional dry-aged cuts, here’s an overview of the must-visit spots.
Maison Mayane by l’Atelier Entrecôte & Volaille: the new one
A new address launched by l’Atelier Entrecôte & Volaille after two locations in Paris and one in Reims, Maison Mayane has set up at Porte Maillot, on the edge of the city’s 17th arrondissement. The restaurant embraces the spirit of Parisian bistros, with wood paneling, red banquettes, aged mirrors, and white tablecloths, creating an atmosphere that is simple, warm, and authentic. This classic setting is subtly modernized with contemporary touches – red leather, stainless steel, and a ceiling fresco – that bring freshness and elegance while preserving the original charm. A terrace, sometimes shaded and sometimes sunlit, is perfect for enjoying the last rays of daylight.
Like its counterparts, the restaurant relies on a simple and clear concept that makes Parisian bistros successful: an ultra-short menu made up of three dishes. The meal begins with a crisp green salad. Then comes the choice between a French beef sirloin, a Label Rouge free-range chicken fillet, or a smash burger cut in half. Everything is served twice, with a signature green sauce and homemade fries. For dessert, the menu includes crêpes Suzette, crème brûlée, generous profiteroles, pavlova with seasonal fruit, and pineapple carpaccio.

Le Relais de l’Entrecôte: the iconic one
Surely one of the most famous names in the world of meat. With several locations in Paris (in the 8th, 6th, and 1st arrondissements), as well as in Switzerland, the Middle East, and Northeast Africa, Le Relais de l’Entrecôte was launched in 1959 by Paul Gineste de Saurs under the name “Le Relais de Venise-Son Entrecôte,” before his daughter Marie-Paule introduced the Relais de l’Entrecôte concept.
In a setting typical of Parisian bistros—featuring woodwork, mirrors, vintage posters, colorful tablecloths, and red/brown banquettes – only one main dish is served after a walnut salad: sirloin steak with thin-cut fries and the famous secret green sauce. Wines from Château de Saurs and desserts such as vacherins, chocolate profiteroles, and crème brûlée complete the meal. At this ultra-popular spot, it’s not uncommon to see lines of meat lovers waiting on the sidewalk.
