L'Entrecote

Chinatown & the CBD


This place only does one dish – steak and chips – but it does it very well, so if you're pining for a slice of French bistro action, trek up to this lovely cobblestoned section of Duxton Hill. There's a choice of starters and desserts and, as you would expect, an excellent selection of French wines to wash it all down. Bookings recommended.
