Le Relais de l'Entrecôte Salhiya

Kuwait City


Outside the entrance of Salhiya Complex, this restaurant is decorated like a classic French bistro, with simple wooden chairs and clean tablecloths. It's renowned for serving only one dish – steak frites with a walnut salad starter. The key to its success? Fine cuts of steak topped with the secret house sauce.
