St-Germain & Les Invalides
Fondly known by its former name, Joséphine, this lace-curtained, mosaic-tiled place with white-cloth tables inside and out is the Parisian bistro of many people's dreams, serving timeless standards such as beef tartare and grilled chateaubriand steak with Béarnaise sauce. Order its enormous signature Grand Marnier soufflé at the end of your meal. Mains, unusually, come in full or half-portion sizes.
During truffle season (November to March), look out for its truffle menus.
