Steak Frites

This has to be one of my favourite dishes. Whenever we eat out here or in France (actually in any country!), it's hard for me to look beyond this on the menu.

 
With my Paris trip coming up I am determined to find the best Steak Frites! One place that comes up quite a lot and I'm kind of curious to try is Les Relais de l'Entrecote. It does look quite touristy though but generally reviews are good. The only thing on the menu seems to be a green salad followed by steak frites with their "special sauce".

 
Steak frites is often served in Switzerland and France with a Cafe de Paris butter. Upon further reading I discovered this herby butter was created in the 1940's and served in the Restaurant Café de Paris in Geneva. Today the sauce ingredients and method of preparation are still a company secret with only a handful of restaurants serving up the original recipe, Le Relais de l'Entrecote in Paris being one of them. This butter contains a long list of ingredients including mustard, marjoram, dill, rosemary, tarragon, paprika, capers, chives, curry powder, parsley, shallot, Worcestershire sauce and anchovies.
