We are planning a day trip to Versailles on Sunday, March 31st and will be taking the RER C train back to Paris, then the RER A train to our hotel near Disneyland Paris. That also happens to be Easter Sunday. We only have 2 days in Paris proper, and we have a splurge meal planned for Saturday. Any suggestions for a moderately priced restaurant that would be close within walking distance of a stop along the RER C or A? We would like something fun and memorable and French, but not too fussy. Simply overwhelmed by restaurant choices in Paris and I don't know how to filter by "close to regional train line."

How about Le Zimmer? Several years ago we had breakfast there. Very historic place, serving traditional food. You would exit the RER C at St Michel. Then you could walk across Ile de La Cite (or take the metro to Cite). Have dinner, and you are very close to Chatelet, where you would take the RER A.
Another option is Bistrot des Augustins, also near St. Michel, right on the river. Tiny place, so not sure they’ll be open on Easter.
RER C hugs the river on the left bank all the way through the city. But you will need to cross the river to get to RER A, either at St Michel or Gare d’Austerlitz.
Google maps has a layer for transit. You can then search for restaurants and you’ll see a zillion options. But basically anything along the river on the left bank is close.
