Cafe Max (near Invalides)

7, ave de la Motte-Piquette

Ah, now this is a nice little lunch spot if you are in the neighborhoods of Invalides or Ecole Militaire (it's on the other side of Invalides from the Rodin Museum).

Classic small clean bistro with a single waiter running around, smiling and amusing. Basic menu and almost everything was good. Terrine and salad both solid starters, but Maryam wasn't impressed by the onion soup. Otherwise everything was just fine, including a decent carafe of Bordeaux and a nice creme caramel for dessert.

All came in around $30/head including wine. Not bad for almost two hours of pleasant eating on a rainy Thursday :-)

Bottom line - it's probably not worth a separate trip, but it's a good option in the neighborhood.
