About this place
Steak frites is a classic brasserie dish: beef served with fries. At Brasserie Café ONZE, one diner ordered the daily steak frites and praised its flavour and well-judged cooking. The menu also lists Wagyu steak with fries and wholegrain mustard, a choice for those looking to make meat the focus of their meal.
For a meal of small plates, options include country pâté, escargots and Spanish cured ham. A diner enjoyed the pâté’s light, soft texture, while another recalled that the escargots’ savoury mushrooms went especially well with white wine. A separate visitor also described the escargots as tender, with garlic butter and mushrooms; bread makes a natural accompaniment.
French onion soup gratinée is another dish to order alongside other plates. One diner remembered its rich flavour, full of the sweetness and savouriness of onion. It has also been described as a winter-only dish, so availability may depend on the season.
For a lighter meal, try egg mayonnaise or Spanish cured ham, or pair bread with an ajillo of Tokachi brown mushrooms. One diner who ordered this combination mentioned dipping the bread into the ajillo and noted that the portion was larger than expected.
There are several wines to choose from, including whites described as mineral and lively with acidity, and reds noted for their fruit and firm tannins. Whether you are after a glass with small plates or a meal built around meat, the menu offers room to shape the evening to suit.
