I'm not sure about pure "bistros," but Chartres on Rue du Faubourg Montmartre at Blvd. Montmartre is a classic Parisian restaurant experience. It's huge and always crowded, with waiters moving about 90 m.p.h., and very decent food at very low prices. And because of the crowds, it's one of the few places in Paris where you don't have to ask for the check - it will be there.
Because the 9th is very commercial with lots of big hotels, restaurants tend to be of the commercial, touristy variety. But even some of them - Pizza Milano comes to mind - are quite good.
The Time Out Paris Eating and Drinking guide is an excellent resource, with detailed descriptions and classifications (bistro, restaurant, brasserie etc)of eating spots in each arrondisement.

joey,
No need to post the same question twice!
I'm copying and pasting the responses from the other thread:

Have heard and read really good things about Carte Blanche, 6 rue Lamartine. Phone is 01 48 78 12 20 and I believe they have a prix fixe, three course dinner for 31 Euro. metro Cadet, closed Sat lunch and Sunday all day. I intend to check it out next trip but have heard nothing but great reviews.

We enjoy Chartier --it's a classic example of a traditional Parisian bistro, reasonable prices, and great old-fashioned decor. It's like going back in time.

We stay in the 9th and can definitely vouch for Carte Blanche, our favorite, but not Chartier, except for their historic decor. Other places we enjoy are Le Charlain on rue Clauzel; Fontaine Fiacre on rue Hippolyte Lebas; Auberge du Clou on Av. Trudaine; and a great little spot called the Bar des Artistes on rue Saulnier around the corner from the Folies Bergere. The owner, Denis, worked many years for Christian Constant and turns out wonders from his closet size kitchen. Not really a bistro, but a restaurant with a newly acquired star is Jean, formerly Chez Jean on rue St. Lazare. Two other well regarded little bistros almost across the street from each other are Georgette and Casa Olympe on rue St. George.

There's also Au Petit Riche, on 25 rue Pelletier, which specializes in Loire Valley cuisine (the "geline de Touraine", fyi, is chicken, geline being a Loire Valley breed of chicken). Pleasant service. Not haute cuisine, but well prepared traditional dishes. We're having dinner there this week-end.
Its popularity stretches back to the Impressionists...Renoir used to eat there quite a bit.
