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.

Taft Diaz

Top-rated hospitality

October 16, 1909-For the first time in their country’s history, American President William H. Taft and Mexican President Porfirio Díaz met for a summit in the El Paso-Juarez border; the land commonly known as El Chamizal. Flags were lowered and the borderland remained neutral territory.
A traditional, conservative luncheon was hosted by President Taft at the El Paso Chamber of Commerce followed by an opulent dinner served and presented by President Díaz in the Old Federal Customs building in Juarez. Private discussions were had and agreements were made.
TAFT DÍAZ serves as a testament that great things can flourish when you welcome others at your table.

The service could have been a bit better. First thing we ordered was drinks (iced tea for me); my wife got hers almost immediately but mine took a looong while. It could have been easier to get our waiters attention, he managed to look every which way except towards our table. It would be nice if he checked in on us often. Anyway, all this is not exactly a big deal.

We have never been disappointed. We have come to A11 multiple times and share our anniversary events with them. Not only is the wait staff attentive but still balanced enough to let you have a private experience, the food is always on point. The chef changed the menu to suit us on request. I give 5 stars for that alone. The desert was complimentary for our anniversary, and was it every a work of art and delicious! I cannot do justice by explaining the dish. Basketball sized caramel drizzle cage around a Flaun, Cheesecake, fruit combo... amazing. We dined with the fine dining upstairs. Always escorted with respect and poise. Met the manager yet again. Wonderful lady; I can easily recognize her professionalism and dedication with her words and actions. Go to A11. Expect the best. And be ready to have that exceeded.
