To loveWe think the word AMAR is the most beautiful word in the Spanish dictionary, whose root "amma" (AMOR) is born from the first sound syllable that a child expresses to a mother. It is a reminder of the purest feeling of humanity. AMAR refers back to the creator’s creative energy, the most subtle vibration that has formed everything, AMOR.Perú &MéxicoOur Menu Is Completely Basedon pure love for comidaThe idea of creating a Peruvian + Mexican kitchen happened because the cultures merged in our family sparked a combination of flavors, techniques and dishes in our gatherings.

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.
