The meals we had here were without doubt the best meals we had in France. The cassoulet was delicious as was my wife's risotto. This restaurant is absolutely 5 stars. I'd give it 6 if I could.

Everything was very average with a mishmash of things on the menu; from Carbonara to Burgers, to…read moreFrench Onion Soup. What was tastiest was definitely the Burger, which was actually quite juicy on a Medium Rare cook. Other than that, there's nothing else noteworthy other than being a clean, slightly fancier option in the area. It'll still be in the top 5 restaurants within the vicinity!

About a week ago, my family and I visited this restaurant after a long day of travel. Normally, I…read morewould have tipped the waiters considerably for the service -- because it was really fantastic. They reviewed all items on the menu with me and validated what had gluten. Then, they offered alternatives and brought me the best jamon I have ever eaten! However, it was the mushroom dish with the egg and shrimp that had me swooning. I had a pork shop afterwards that was good and my family had many other foods as well as desserts, but that dish was out of this world great! It is the perfect place to visit when the basilica closed for the afternoon break!

After that we went to Quebec and they had one there too. But I heard that Toulouse is the original one. And it did not disappoint. Yes, you have get in line before they open. Thanks goodness we have family living here and they know the people here, so we got a table for 15 pp, no problem ( the max is for 8 persons ) they took the drinks orders and how you want your steaks done,l. The butter lettuce salad with walnuts is standard, then they served us the sliced steaks and fries. The remainder of the steaks is served on a hot platter with sterno, and you just helped yourself. They brought more fries, all you can eat fries!! The sauce is the star of the meal, I love this sauce so much I put it even on the fries. Desserts are usually profiteroles au chocolat, there are others too, but we were so full we only ordered coffee and some profiteroles to share. The room immediately filled up for the first seating. If you didn't make it in, then you have to wait till somebody leaves. I see they are open for lunch too, then reopen at 7 for dinner.

This place is a tourist trap. We'd been in Toulouse for three days and all our meal experiences had…read morebeen wonderful. There are so many excellent choices right around there (our hotel was just a couple blocks from L'Entrecote) and luckily we had chosen widely. I try to do research for every place we decide to go but we had been avoiding L'Entrecote because of the long lines....on the 3rd nite we were frantically looking for a place as the one we had chosen was way too busy. We happened to pass L'Entrecote and miraculously there was no one there! So we decided to try it on the spot, not knowing anything about it. We were ushered very quickly all the way to the back (even though there were plenty of tables up front as it was not busy) behind the service station and near the kitchen. Not knowing this place was a one-meal prix-fixe menu, we didn't get a chance to even ask the waitress anything before she immediately placed salads in front of us. I asked in my best broken French (we always try to speak French at first..it almost always seemed to soften the situation and most servers/staff would be very friendly from that point) if we could see a menu and she became very rude and rolled her eyes--heavily--and asked WHY?! I tried telling her that I'd like to see the choices but then she went off on me in what I can only gather was the explanation of the fact that there were no choices. But she pulled out a little menu and then we saw--for the first time--what this place was all about. Steak frites and salad, and that's it! Which isn't a bad thing, it's just not what we wanted (and for comparison to all the lovely places around us, it was quite expensive!)...we'd had that the night before at this LOVELY place where they were all so friendly, even though we slipped in just before the kitchen closed...ANYWAY...after she practically threw the menu at me she turned to leave, visibly laughing and rolling her eyes at us. At that point, I no longer wanted to eat there, but we had salads in front of us... My husband is very cognizant of not wanting to make a scene, so he was getting pretty upset himself... Finally, one nice waiter had been watching the scene unfold and came up to us to see if there was anything he could do... I told him we just wanted to pay for whatever we had eaten (even though I hadn't touched my salad because I did not want to eat anything at that point, but we did have some glasses of wine) and after speaking with his boss, he came back and said we could pay for the wine and leave. And that is just what we did. Clearly, this place is nothing but a tourist trap as it has been around a long time, and it's fairly well known for what it is and what they do. However, I did not know this, and the fact that our waitress was the classic bitchy French server, we had not experienced that at all during the three days we've already been there. We may as well have been at Fishermans Wharf or the Cheesecake Factory, because that's what it was...a factory. I will never go back there if I'm ever in Toulouse again.

I also ordered a white wine which was poured into a huge glass. Everything was delicious but come hungry! Best duck I had while I was in France.
