Looking at a day trip from London.
Any good restaurants near the train station?

Why would you spend big bucks for a round trip from London on the Eurostar, only to have lunch at a restaurant near Gare du Nord and go back to London?

I’ve eaten in the area and it was just OK but if you’re going to see some sights or just walk around there are more pleasant places for a meal.
When are you going?
If the weather is pleasant I love one of the terrace restaurants in the Tuileries. Or any number of restaurants a short walk or Metro ride away.

How about Terminus du Nord, a classic French brasserie across from the station. You didn’t state your price range.
Correction merci JHK: Terminus Nord.
JHK has posted below and always has very good recommendations for Paris restaurants; I would definitely follow any recommendations from JHK.

Yes, I also liked Terminus du Nord, and here's an additional suggestion, also just across from the station.

I stayed there and enjoyed the restaurant very much. It's a bit quieter than the brasserie vibe, and it has an eclectic menu.

If you are willing to walk about 12 minutes, I suggest Les Arlots on Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière and Brasserie Belanger, also on Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière. If you want to only have to cross the street, I agree with the suggestion of Terminus Nord.
