Get Endless Fries With Your Steak At New Boston Dining Experience

French fry lovers, I have found your heaven (and mine). It's a new spot. Well, the restaurant isn't new, but their downstairs dining area has been transformed. It all started back in early February, when Back Bay favorite Rochambeau decided to turn their first floor into The Steak Room. It's here that you can now get endless fries with your steak at this new Boston dining experience.

It's most definitely an "experience" because of the menu. According to MassLive, The Steak Room at Rachambeau will offer a steak frites prix fixe menu. So, for just $36 you get steak, greens, a a warm baguette and ENDLESS fries! I think that is a pretty good deal for Boston dining. And yes, they do offer a few a la carte selections; from a few hors d'ouevres like (my favorite) French onion soup to cocktails, wines, beers and desserts.

I don't know about you, but when I go out for a nice dinner, I always order steak. I figure, it's not something I make at home often, in fact, mostly never in the winter. But when grill season comes around, that's a different story. I love that this transformed space is dedicated to steak and fry lovers. You can check out the full menu, HERE. 

Rochambeau is described on their website as "a two-floor restaurant, café, and bar that offers contemporary, French cuisine and beverages."  This Back Bay gem is located at 900 Boylston Street in Boston.  They opened in October of 2019 to excellent reviews. A more recent review on Open Table declared, "The steak frites and French onion soup here were AMAZING! Will definitely be going back for both of those!"

I'm going to have to check out the new Steak Room at Rochambeau. Probably a good idea to come on an empty stomach so you can take full advantage of this deal. Get endless fries with your steak at this new Boston dining experience!

Dang, I wish I could have been the one doing the research on this topic. I do enjoy a good espresso martini. But honestly, finding a really good one is tough. So many bars and restaurants subsitute the main ingredient. Did you know many establishments use espresso flavored liqueur (which is used anyone), but some use it in place  of the real deal? Make sure you ask if it's made with real espresso when ordering. I always do.

Thanks to Boston Magazine for doing the difficult research required for this "best of" list. It had to be a labor of love. They shared the results of their "study," and you will find them below (in alphabetical order).  Twelve of Greater Boston’s best are "takes on the classic espresso martini—one foolproof way to get both kinds of buzzes in one excellent drink."  Different strokes for different folks has led to a list that has something for everyone; from the traditional to truly unique. You will also find alcohol variations using rum and tequila. There's even a "nod to The Big Lebowski."

Cheers!

Boston Magazine raves, the Bricco recipe "combines Absolut Vanilla vodka with Baileys, Kahlúa, Frangelico, and Disaronno, and the foamy top is smooth, thick, and flavorful. Add house-made espresso and a sugar-and-cocoa rim, and Bricco’s espresso martini keeps customers coming back for more." Ummm, yes please.

According to the article, "Rise & Grind, will wake you right up; in fact, the bar will only serve you one of these per visit thanks to its high caffeine content.

If you like your espresso martini on the darker side, Yvonne's is for you. As Boston Magazine says, "Yvonne’s take is a bit stronger on the espresso flavor and less like a dessert than others on this list because it sticks to the traditional recipe of vodka, espresso, and Kahlúa—no Irish cream. (Vanilla syrup rounds out the drink.)"
