Heidi also recommended this one:

This is the tripadvisor page for restaurants in Paris.
Les Papilles sounds good too - this is at 30 rue Gay Lussac - 5e. It's a set menu though so not sure if I would be able to eat what's on the menu - www.lespapilleparis.com
It's a wine bar and bistro and is very popular.
Le baba Bourgeois - 5 quai de la tournelle.5e. - very trendy, smack bang on the Seine with a pavement terrace facing Notre dame. http://www.lebababourgeois.com/menus.html. It looks abit groovy and I can't really read the menu as it's in French!
Les Pipos - Soph and George went here. It looks lovely and I definitely want to go here.
Angelina's - tearoom with the best hot chocolates.
Stohrer
La Baron Rouge (no website. see reviews here and here)
A list of David Lebovitz' favourite places to eat in Paris.
Le Petit Machon - 158 rue st Honore. 16.50euros for lunch menu. This is close to the Louvre and gets a good write up as a welcoming bistro.
Cafe Marly - 93 rue de Rivoli - 1er - faces the Louvre with great views of the pyramid - pastas and sandwiches. Priced as more than 40E a person so I think you are probably paying for the view.
Les Troubadours - 10 passage des Panoramas 2e - Old style bistro with traditional French dishes in the Passage des Panoramas. Plat du jour is 13E and the chocolate cake is not to be missed.
Mon Vieil Ami - 4e - 69 rue st Louis - In one of Paris' most sought after areas. A very welcoming area. Alsatian Plat du jour -13euros.
Berthillon - icecreamery on Ile St Louis - went here last time. Icecreams are so yummy.
Cremerie Restaurant Polidor - 41 rue Monsieur le Prince - 6e.
In the Saint Germain area two brasseries sounded good - Le petit zinc - http://www.petit-zinc.com/
This is a big brasserie with lots of fresh seafood. Looks abit pricey though - depends what you have I guess but seems about 30euros or so for a main. 11 rue st Benoit.
Also Chez Allard - 41 rue St-andre des Arts- 6e. This is a left bank favourite with snails and frogs legs and a speciality chicken dish from Burgundy.
L'Arbuci - 25 rue de Buci - big brasserie - a popular choice for breakfast or brunch. Packed tables on the pavement. Live jazz in the basement on fridays and saturdays.
Cremerie Restaurant Polidor - 41 rue Monsieur le Prince - 6e. Decor dates from 1845. tasty family syle french cuisine.
Au Pied de Fouet - 50 Rue St-Benoit - an authentic bistro - busy with packed tables and very good value.
Amorino - serious competition for Bethillon. Homemade icecream apparently better - sounds like we'd better try both and decide for ourselves!! 4 Rue de Buci. also one in Luxemburg Gardens.
Le Pre Verre - a french bistro - 25 Rue Thenard in 5e. 13 euros for lunch and great wine list. Busy and buzzing. Very Parisian!!
Champs Elysee area - Le Hide -- www.lehide.fr
Tiny little place with traditional french food - and a Japanese chef. Plat du Jour is 16 euros. Looks very cute.

Cafe Hugo - Place des Vosges - affordable eatery on Place des Vosges. Plat du Jour with a glass of wine is 12.5e.
Bastille & Gare Lyon area - (12e) -
Le Train Bleu is in this area (Annie Wallis recommended this restaurant). Looking at the website the building and interior looks amazing but it's very expensive for 5 of us. There is a bar though.
Some others in this area are:

Chez Paul - 13 rue de Charonne - 11e. very popular and traditional french bistro.http://www.chezpaul.com

Food streets
Rue Montorgueil - good for a quick bite to eat.
Rue Mouffeard - food market and great for ethnic and French budget eateries. One is La Salle a manger - is a sunny terrace under trees that has a great view of the market place, fountain and church and has lovely tarts, salads, toasted sandwiches and pastries.
Da Rosa - 62, rue de Seine 75006 Paris. This is a delicatessen where you can eat - very hip and groovy and a real foodie place (i.e sounds like Andrew would love it) Has a vast array of meat, salamis, pates, caviars and cheeses. Everything can be bought to take home. For a place to eat it looks like a tapas bar and seems very $$.
Food shops along Rue de Seine and Rue de Buci. Also the covered markets of Marche St Germain. Open air markets of Rue Cler.
Quatre hommes - 62 Rue de Sevres, 6e - the king of fromageries. The smell alone is heavenly.

Breakfast Goes Trendy
Bread and Roses is a hip, exceptional bakery that you'll find nestled in the tony St.-Honoré neighborhood in Paris, next to Hermès and a short walk from L'Eclaireur, Buddha Bar and Hôtel de Crillon. This is where the affluent locals and fortunate expats come for fantastic baked goods each morning. At lunchtime original sandwiches and incredible quiches with gourmet ingredients like girolle mushrooms and pine nuts are impossible to resist. As the lunch crowd thins, weary shoppers can come in for afternoon tea, with scrumptious scones as well as more-traditional French pastries like lemon tarts and Mont Blancs. Finally, those in the mood for a relaxing cocktail made from the finest liquors are well served, with no lack of savory snacks to accompany their personal happy hour. And as you sit, enjoying an international people-watching scene par excellence, you may seriously begin to wonder if a rose by any other name would truly smell as sweet.
