La Maison du Steak

You're walking down Hills Road towards the station, past the usual parade of chain coffee shops, when you spot this. It's the kind of place that doesn't shout about itself—no twee branding, just straightforward French bistro cooking where it counts. The menu does what it says: excellent steaks cooked how you want them, proper frites, béarnaise that tastes like someone actually made it. The room has that lived-in charm of somewhere that's been doing the same thing well for years, with locals who actually know what they're ordering rather than just turning up because Instagram told them to.
