If there is one thing the French are great at it's cooking (and eating!). There are many places in Paris where you can enjoy traditional French cuisine, especially at the sidewalk cafes. But my favorite place we ate all week was at L'Entrecôte near the Champs-Élysées. When we mentioned we were heading to the area for dinner our apartment manager tipped us off about this place. She warned us to arrive before 8:30pm. We arrived at 7:30 and were promptly seated. Shortly after a waitress dressed in the traditional french attire of black and white asked us how we would like our steak cooked and brought us salads of greens and walnuts. They are so well known for their contre-filet that they don't even present a menu. And just when you think it's over they refill your plate with another serving! If you find yourself in Paris craving a steak this place is not to be missed. Just don't tell too many people ... the line was around the block by the time we left.
On a side note, I am a big supporter of the vegetarian lifestyle and think meat should be eaten sparingly, but I don't feel bad about a changing it up every once in awhile either. Think of it as being a Flexitarian. Good for your health, good for the planet, and good karma :)

Insider tip: Locals know to eat at the one on Rue Marbeuf.

| Another delicacy I couldn't get enough of. I made sure to try as many varieties of Macaroons as possible! |
