À Côté, an address dedicated to the prime rib to share

A clear speciality at the heart of the menu

À Côté asserts its identity as a steakhouse in Paris's 9th arrondissement around an iconic speciality: the prime rib to share. The menu sets the tone and sums up the spirit of the house: a fine product, cooking without artifice and the pleasure of gathering around a generous table.

Offered by weight, the prime rib is served with homemade fries, a green salad, sauces prepared on site (Roquefort sauce, pepper sauce and Béarnaise) and a bone marrow. Around this signature cut, the menu stays deliberately short, with a few starters to share and desserts that change according to the chef's inspiration.

This approach lets us focus all our attention on the quality of the meat, the precision of the cooking and the consistency of the service.

Carefully selected French "grass-fed" beef

The quality of a prime rib begins long before the cooking. À Côté works with French meat from beef breeds, raised in France and fed exclusively on grass and hay. This natural diet, which meets the criteria of "grass-fed" beef, favours meat that is generous, juicy, deeply flavourful and more authentic than that of grain-fed cattle.

Origin and farming conditions play an essential role in our selection. We look for cuts capable of offering tenderness, character and real consistency in the cooking. A standard that particularly appeals to lovers of fine steaks, and that gives full coherence to our identity as a steakhouse in Paris's 9th arrondissement.

Each rib is then worked with precision to respect the product and fully reveal its texture, its juices and its aromas. A simple, legible approach, faithful to what we want to champion at the table: fine French grass-fed beef, well chosen and well prepared.

Choosing the rib is already part of the meal

In our steakhouse, the prime rib is chosen from the cuts available at service time. Each day they are weighed, then chalked up on a board with their weight. Guests can then select the rib best suited to the number of people at the table, their appetite and the doneness they want.

The team guides this choice with precise advice, to find the right balance for the table. Once the cut is selected, it is crossed off the board, like a trophy reserved for the guests. This ritual is fully part of the experience!

The cooking then extends this same attention to the product. The prime rib is seared on the plancha, with no added fat, then left to rest before being finished in the oven. This method preserves the juices, the tenderness and the unique taste of this grass-fed meat.

Mastered cooking, from plancha to oven

Cooking plays an essential role in the success of a prime rib. In our restaurant, each cut is first seared on a very hot plancha, with no added fat. The meat's natural fat then feeds the cooking and helps form a golden crust, while preserving the juices and the tenderness at the centre.

After this first step, the rib rests so the juices spread through the whole piece. It is then carved, plated in a cast-iron pan, and finished for a few minutes in a very hot oven before service. This method gives generous meat, a well-marked surface and even cooking, tailored to each table's preferences.

From the plancha to the oven, every gesture aims to respect the quality of the meat and fully reveal its taste. This mastery of cooking is part of À Côté's identity and of the experience built around prime rib in Paris's 9th arrondissement.

Homemade sides designed for the cut

A prime rib is also savoured through everything that comes with it. Each cut is served with homemade fries, a green salad, a bone marrow and several sauces prepared on site.

These sides were chosen for indulgence and for a genuine balance on the plate. The crispness of the fries, the freshness of the salad, the richness of the bone marrow and the character of the sauces extend the flavours of the meat without masking them.

A convivial dining experience in the heart of Paris 9

A warm dining room

Beyond the prime rib, the experience also depends on the setting in which it is shared. À Côté welcomes its guests into a warm, lively and convivial dining room, designed so that everyone feels at ease from the moment they arrive.

This room hosts very different moments, from an everyday meal to a more special occasion, without losing the pleasure of eating well in a steakhouse in Paris's 9th arrondissement.

Attentive service that is part of the meal

From arrival, each guest is guided in choosing the prime rib, its weight and its doneness. The team can also recommend a wine suited to the table's tastes, its budget and the moment being sought. This attention makes the experience simpler and more personal.

A way of hosting with professionalism and warmth, in the spirit of a true Parisian table where people come as much to eat well as to have a good time.

A cellar designed to accompany the prime rib

À Côté brings together more than 260 French wines, chosen for their personality, their balance and their ability to accompany a generous, grass-fed cut with precision.

The selection gives pride of place to the grands crus classés since 1855, to prestige wines, to rarer bottles and to organic cuvées. This diversity lets everyone find a pairing to suit their taste and their budget.

The team naturally guides that choice, whether it's a structured red, a suppler wine or a bottle for keeping. For those who prefer to open the meal differently, the cellar also offers champagnes, while a selection of digestifs extends the moment after the prime rib.

A chef's table for group meals

Away from the main dining room, the chef's table offers a more private space for group meals in Paris 9. It lets you gather in a warm, more intimate setting while keeping the lively spirit of the restaurant.

Team lunch, business dinner, birthday, family meal or a large table with friends: this space lends itself to many occasions. The prime rib to share naturally finds its place there!

For groups of more than 8 people, booking is done directly by phone. This lets the team prepare the table, anticipate any particular needs and organise your visit in the best conditions.
