Wagyu from $22 on the menu we read
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
A husband-and-wife French room in Uptown Park from Master Chef of France Philippe Verpiand and Monica Bui, where the Wagyu is one line rather than a programme. Entrecote de Boeuf Wagyu is a $22 supplement on the prix fixe, a Texas Wagyu ribeye with truffled mashed potatoes and Bordelaise. The kitchen names Texas as the region and stops there, so the ranch behind the beef is not disclosed. Worth knowing that it is precise about its other beef, listing Angus for the tartare and hash and Argentinian for the faux-filet.

Common questions
- Does Étoile serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 23, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Étoile serve?
- Its menu discloses American. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Étoile listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
