Entrecôte Café de Paris — Restaurant in Medina Province

I absolutely loved our dinner here!! With the salad we received warm little buns with the choice of brown or white, served with a little ramekin of olive tapenade and butter in it, and the salad perfectly well dressed. If you finish your bun before the true dinner has arrived, they sneak up with some more heated buns to offer you. We ordered a tenderloin black angus and strip loin filet, which come out on the hot plates soaked in the Specialty butter so that they keep cooking and warming as you eat. The french fries were perfect, and they came out with a plate of those and some tongs to offer up to both of us, and when my husband had finished his fries, they came out with another plate of hot fries to offer us more, suggesting that we dip them in the sauce from the meats which we already had been doing. We also grabbed a bottle of their sparkling red grape juice, which came out looking like wine and was served in wine glasses but was absolutely amazing! It reminded me a lot of Kedem kosher grape juice. For dessert we ate the profiteroles and the Italian baked cheesecake, I have of course was absolutely in love with the profiteroles which had ice cream inside of them instead of the cream and were drenched in chocolate. For me the cheesecake was a little over baked, as well as the blueberry Cooley on top was overpowering. They had rooftop seating where we sat and enjoyed the moon rise and unfortunately they were very slow, so service was exceptional!! I truly wish this was more than a pop up. We plan to not only return, but send some friends for their Christmas as well.

Edit: Our friends also absolutely loved it and we even returned two weeks after our first visit. This time we ordered both tenderloins, the black angus still by far the best. The sparkling grape juice was yet again absolutely lovely and perfect for our Gregorian New Year's Eve :). I also ordered the passion fruit mojito which was a little more like a fruity punch but still delicious. We ordered the tiramisu to try it but the Profiteroles are still the best dessert on the menu by far. My husband enjoyed his Turkish coffee greatly. I hope to come back at least once more before this pop up closes down!!!!

Updated review: We recently went for my husbands birthday and they were kind enough to write a note on our profiteroles :):):). The manager also came to check in on us and overall the dinner was beautiful. Due to the weather unfortunately, we weren't able to sit on the roof as we had in the winter time, but the interior is...

My first time in Alula. The place is beautiful and really breath taking. But why must we be ripped off with the food price? A little roll with airy whipped butter, such a small amount! The salad.... that's not a salad!!! Lettuce leaves with a hint of cabbage, smothered in a dressing. A sad excuse for a salad I have had stomach surgery and can not eat a large portion... well that's tough all I get is leaves and frozen chips... yes that will cost you SR55... absolutely appalling to not be able to accommodate a smaller portion. For the large asking price surely a light dessert could be included.. I am sorry but I am not impressed with the wildly overpriced roll, leaves, and frozen chips! Shame on you for charging these prices. Its left a really bad taste in my mouth. I have a few days on Alulah and seems I will be ripped off .... from here to there. Please reword your menu to green leaves and frozen chips. Definitely not a salad...

-A special experience. Menu is very simple, 5 kinds of steak all served with the famous cafe de paris sauce with fries and salad, they give bread with butter and tapenade as a starter also. -Service is beyond perfect, the philipino waiter was very attentive, knowledgeable, polite and professional. -The steak was delicious. -Prices are very high though especially compared to portion, yes i understand the quality used is top notch and the sauce is totally worth the hype, but definitely not a 400 sr steak. -Also, when paying 2000 ryal for 5 people lunch you expect the system not to be down!! We couldn't get the invoice (they emailed it to us) and the ccm machine was not working we had to pay cash. When you face this after paying average 400 sr/per person you expect the manager to give something complimentary coffee or sweets, but he just said sorry for that. -The interior of the restaurant and the ambiance...
