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.

    What a gorgeous setting. The service was superb: the hostess was very knowledgeable about how to take the best photo of us and show off the Tiffany ceiling. Juan, our server, was savvy on the menu and well-versed in the wine. We had the Caesar salad and the bison short ribs -- well presented and prepared

    This is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to, and I travel around the country frequently (definitely in my top 2). It’s my go to for clients, staff meetings, and on this particular occasion, a date. This was her first time here and the food, ambiance, and service did not disappoint. Our waitress was exceptional and very well versed on the varied dishes, appetizers, and their drinks, and offered some great choices for the main course. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something different here in the area. 5 stars ⭐️ all the way.
