Hello all - We will be arriving in Paris on a Friday at 3:30pm local time in October after an overnight flight from Los Angeles, CA. This is my first international trip and I assume I will be tired my first day so I'd love to find an easy dinner spot near my hotel that takes reservations for our first night. The Hôtel Bastille Speria is at 1 Rue de la Bastille, 75004.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Your help is greatly appreciated. Peggy
I really like Le Petit Marche. That is where I ate my dinner on my first night in Paris in April when I was staying near Place des Vosges. It is about a 5 to 10-minute walk from your hotel and our meal was excellent. You'll walk past Chez Janou on the way there, but it does not take reservations. Just around the corner from your hotel (literally a 1-minute walk) is the very excellent Restaurant H.
Bofinger, a glossy institution for many decades, is a few steps away at 5 Rue de la Bastille. It's "easy" in the sense of smooth and well-practiced, as an elaborate expansion of a brasserie. A simpler branch is across the street. The main dining room opens early for the evening meal, 6 p.m.; the little brother is open from 9 a.m. to midnight.
Of course all this accomplished service comes at a certain price, which you can see on-line at the Contacts page. The website allows on-line reservations on that page (I'm not sure about the bistrot's reservations policy.)

Thank you both I’m adding these to my list!
I like Breizh cafe. It's becoming more popular so reservations are probably a good idea.
Thanks Brad!
