About the restaurant

Born in a family with a passion for Gastronomy and Oenology, we opened our first French Wine Bistro, Cepage[s], in Notting Hill, London in 2014. Driven by the success of Cepage[s], my father Felix Cohen, who lives in Grenoble (French Alpes), came with the idea to open an authentic french cuisine restaurant in El Paso. Our concept is to create a cozy atmosphere, featuring delicious bistro style sharable appetizers and classic popular dishes from diverse regions in France paired with a great selection of wines and cocktails. Our name, Entrecôte, is a very popular Ribeye Steak dish served in bistros and specialty restaurant in France. We are very exited to start this new adventure and offer a unique experience to El Pasoans and visitors from out of town.

The overall experience was great. The food and drinks were exceptional. However, and I hate to say this. I clearly noted that this reservation was in celebration of my wife’s birthday. The restaurant had very few parities and all were celebrating birthdays. They all received the birthday acknowledgment, very impressive. As I waited throughout the night, my wife’s never came. Not sure if it had to do something further, pay extra or do further coordinations. I would have done anything needed to receive this birthday acknowledgment. We left with nothing. We paid about $300 for two, very worth it, but we missed a very important part of the night. My advice to you, let us know what extra we need to do and pay to ensure our night goes as planned. Very satisfied, yet very disappointed, if that makes sense.
