The following list has been made by some of the finest gourmand you can find in the IT sphere in PARIS ;-)
: veggie friendly
: group friendly
Soft light and typical fabrics for West African specialties to be accompanied with very good wine , rhum or (real) ginger juice. Everything is good in that place where you can also go with a group (but reservation needed). One must try the african-syle roasted chicken. One of the coolest restaurant in PARIS IMO.
Price: medium-high
Reservation: mandatory for groups, recommended otherwise ;-)

A really cool place next to Gare du Nord and Poissoniere metros. Their huge coal oven and the quality and freshness of their products allow them to make precise food with a touch of originality. Must try their "signature" dish: Echine de cochon et legumes grillés (pig loin with coal-grilled vegetables) which is nuts... Plus, they sometimes have 90 days old matured Rubia Gallega meat (i.e. one of the best beef one can find in the world): it's a one time life experience... Last but not least, their wine card has really good references and the whole package is really affordable for such quality food (19 euros for their generous Echine de cochon for instance).
Price: medium
Reservation: better but not mandatory (important capacity)
Address: Near Poissoniere/Gare du Nord metro stations, but in a calm area. 7 place Franz Liszt, 75010 Paris - +33 1 44 65 01 80

Tiny restaurant of simple but really well-crafted cuisine in the middle of Montmartre. All their products are super fresh Probably one of the best price/quality ratio you can find in that area. Their oeuf cocotte au foie gras is so awesome that you can find it both as a starter or as a dessert (for people that regret not having took it as a starter ;-). All fans of chocolate must also try their gateau chocolat façon grand-mère. I've never been disapointed by this address but it's been more than a year that I went there.

Nice wine bar / wooden bistro chic in the middle of the Quartier Latin (studdents area). Bonvivant tries to smartly reinvent some recipes. I highly recommend the Burrata des pouilles, betteraves croquantes, huile d'olive et Yuzu and the Oeuf mimosa du Bonvivant (starters) and the Veritable riz au lait aux amandes caramelisées (dessert).
Price: medium
Reservation: recommended

My favorite classical Ramen restaurant in Paris (next to OPERA). The place has been fully renewed, but this is an old institution. Everything is simple but good.
Price: cheap
Reservation: not possible. You just have to follow the queue in the Street

Discovered recently thanks to Laurent DOGUIN, I'm crazy about it. Top quality products, reinvented recipes of Ramens, Japanese sounds recorded in the streets played as background ambiance. YOU MUST try it if you are 2 or 3 people to eat because the only drawback is the size of this tiny shop. Highly recommended
Price: cheap-medium
Reservation: not possible. You just have to follow the queue in the Street

Place where I used to go every 2 weeks when I lived in the north of Paris, BHARATH is a typical big indian restaurant where you can eat good but cheap food, made with fresh products. I highly recommend the Koththu Rotti (SRI-LANKAN specialty) but everything is good. All lhassis and fruit juices are fresh and made on demand.
Price: cheap
