steak/frites
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

Thanks for the link. This looks like good travel resource.
Mrs. USAFAN & I know L'Entrecote since at least 15 years, and go there every time when we are in Paris. They also have 2 red wines, 1 Bordeaux and 1 Burgundy. And about 20 desserts. However, only one delicious main dish.
They had also one in Bordeaux and one in Marseille at the small port, may be they still have.

Mrs. M2swim and I may try it this Saturday night on a mileage run from TUL. After a day of shopping before we get back on the plane on Sunday, we may want a predictable meal. I will let everybody know an OKIE's opinion of the place.

We were just at L'Entrecote 2 weeks ago, as it is one of my husband's favorites and it was very good. But I would be interested to hear an opinion from anyone who has been to both L'Entrecote and Relais de Venise -- which is better for Steak/Frite?

The L'Entrecote I was referring to is in the 8th I think. I believe it is a knock-off of the original but everything sounds the same -- people lining up, menu, etc. I was just wondering if the original is better.

Thanks to a recent NY Times article, I am looking at Restaurant Bar Severo in the 14eme for a one-course Saturday lunch of steak/frites in a few weeks time.
Does anyone have any experiences? I'm not looking for a blowout, just a swift-ish main course and 1/2 bottle of wine!
