Relais de Venise wins hands down. The Metro is Porte Maillot. You come up under a convention center and head for the little train station and another restaurant with copper pots hanging on it just north of the center.
The restaurant Relais de Venise is across the street. No reservations. People start lining up shortly before 7 PM when it opens. The menu is simple---salad, steak/frites. You have the choice of beverages, desserts, and whether you'll take coffee. Secret steak sauce. Great frites. And. . . they come back and serve seconds. Inexpensive, as well. I can't remember the exact price

Oh boy oh boy am I glad I made note of this post before I went over recently - this place was great! There was a line which moved slowly - but it was totally worth it. The steak is a thin steak, with a sauce (as best as we could figure) made up of a coarse mustard, olive oil, and a ton of garlic. The price was just about 25 euro, I think. Wine and dessert extra. I would make this a must-eat stop during my next trip.
