Steak Frites at Provence en Boite

An enjoyable bite on a crisp Monday night

It was a cold night, and the allure of the Monday special at Smith Street's was too strong to resist. $13.95 for steak frites? Why not?!

The ambiance at Provence was relaxed and the restaurant almost eerily quiet. We asked the waiter to turn on some music, and he complied politely. Once the French songs started playing, we were transported. Bottles of Ricard lined the walls and red tableclothes and cushions decorated the tables and banquettes.

The steak was just perfect. Thick and crispy but with a soft and buttery consistency inside, there couldn't be a better cut to eat with thin fries, which got softer with the juice of the steak.

On the side, pepper sauce and Béarnaise for dipping. The luxury of two choices was almost too much of a pleasure, but the more I ate the happier I was for the variety; there was so much steak!

There's a special every night of the week at Provence. Check it out.
