I was going to suggest the French place opposite the Sofitel, but it seems I've missed the boat. Again.
Bon appetit.

I think the restaurant you talking about is called "La Paillotte".
Went there a couple of times some time back and it was pretty good.

I rarely order steak when we go out. The steak we buy here in the states can be very good.

I take the steak out of the refrigerator one hour before cooking, cover with garlic and pepper, rub some oil in. When room temp, it's ready to salt and cook.

I crank up the grill, or stove top, until the pan is smoking hot.

Toss the steak on and sear for a few minutes (maybe one for you Richard

) and turn and sear again.

Searing at a hot temp keeps the juices in.

Take off heat and let sit for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
