Doing research on Paris I’m finding places to eat to be a little daunting. Can anyone recommend some places over there that aren’t too over the top with fancy food and high prices?

I've got a list somewhere of places in Paris that someone we met at the train station wrote down for us, I'll dig it out and post it for you.

AOC provably wants you to stick to the food provided in the Athletes Village mate.I'll be in Paris during the Olympics, so I will gladly accept all the food recommendations in the city!
Gros MacThere are so many boulangeries / cafes in Paris. Cheap and easy food. Grabbing a baguette for brekky on the fly seems to be a very French thing to do.
Lunch is the main meal and there is an endless and varied amount of bistros with their seats pointed outwards towards the street to choose from. Funny enough, I remember eating some really good pizza of all things. There was Maccas to grab le Big Mac or supermarkets to grab various bits and pieces.
i don’t think you’ll have any trouble!
At home. Edps is going to France not me. Sadly. For me.Check out smaller bistrots that do a fixe prix menu.
Generally for a $40-50 a head you'll get entree, main, dessert, possibly a glass of wine.
Whereabouts are you staying?

Haussman was cool.Depends what you're after and where you are really, Paris has heaps of food options, most of which are pretty good. Cheese and wine from the supermarket is very cheap, and the French basically refuse to do either of those things badly, so it's pretty easy to grab a baguette, some cheese and a bottle of wine to go camp out near the Eiffel Tower (or any other park you like) for a picnic.
If you have an idea of what area you're (they're numbered 1 - 20 or so) in I've got a few cafes I could recommend for a good coffee. I'm a vegetarian so most of my actual restaurant recommendations are around that which might not be helpful.
This will sound like a weird suggestion but I highly recommend going to Galeries Lafayette Haussmann where they have a rooftop viewing deck with a bar and restaurant. It's set just behind the Opera House (Palais Garnier) and is one of the few rooftop views in Paris. Don't tell your other half what's up there, just take her to this shopping mall and get her up the top, it's a great way to surprise her with a brilliant view over the top of the city. It's only a 30 minute or so trip if you just want the view, the department store itself is pretty good for higher end stuff as well, and it's an easy enough walk from the Louvre.
If you want a more affordable shopping location then Le Bon Marche is the main big department store and is (roughly) on the walk from the Eiffel Tour to Notre Dame via Saint Germain.
