Are you willing to travel across Paris for a restaurant? If not then please identify your location such as your hotel or what sights you will be near when you want to stop to eat.
Paris is a large, diverse city and there is no such thing as typical. What type of food do you enjoy?
Do you want something with a view? With a terrace?
What price range?
Some information from the requester is always necessary to get the answers that are best for you.

After checking further and thinking, I will center my restaurant search to Bercy area of Paris. Will be staying at the Pullman Paris Hotel. Know of this?
Also would like suggestions of place for lunch on Left Bank.

well, Bercy is a new area and there is a restaurant row there of some restaurants with outdoor sections in the area just outside the cinemas. this is at the Cour St Emilion metro stop. This isn't the kind of special experience you are looking for, I just mentioned it as it is easy to walk around and pick a place to eat if you don't feel like going far one night and need to eat. It's called Bercy Village and they have some shops there, also. http://www.timeout.fr/paris/en/resta.../bercy-village
For more typical and older restaurants, you'd probably want something in the 11th-12th arrondisements as most convenient.
I think Le Square Trousseau is supposed to be good in the 12th, although I haven't eaten there, as well as Reno on the same square. Their own website is too clever without providing any info on the menu, at least I couldn't figure it out. Here is more info http://20littlecities.com/where-to-e...nch-or-dinner/
if you know French http://scope.lefigaro.fr/restaurants...usseau/static/
Rino is Italian and probably not what you want but has gotten good reviews http://www.timeout.fr/paris/en/restaurants/rino

Lots of good choices straight up in the 11th, such as Bistrot Paul Bert. On the Left Bank, we like Le Buisson Ardent in the 5th, http://lebuissonardent.fr/

Rino was a good restaurant but has been closed for several months, awaiting a new chef and owner. No date has been given for the re-opening.
Square Trousseau is pretty good, especially if you sit on the terrace overlooking the park. No reservations.
Chardenoux is also nearby, if you'd like something a little more romantic. Reserve a few days in advance.
If you decide to go to Bistrot Paul Bert, you have to reserve several days in advance and provide a French phone number so they can confirm your reservation. Or you could have the hotel reserve for you.

I am not sure what a <i>foodie</i> really is. Many people who claim to be know very little about food or restaurants. I certainly avoid the that tag but I always take a bit of time to find something interesting (defined as a restaurant serving something I could not easily prepare at home myself).
You can always find a restaurant or café nearby. If you want to avoid the simple hit or miss outcome possibilty, take a look at resources such as:
The Michelin Red Guide (my restaurant bible) http://restaurant.michelin.fr/
http://www.davidlebovitz.com/
http://www.lefooding.com/

ParisWat - I didn't check the date. It was first on the list when I came back to take a look at the forum. How that happened is very mysterious. Looks like a couple of us fell for another necropost.
Maybe this site has been hacked - won't be the first time...
Better than screaming about Nazis etc, though.

(Wonder who would do such a thing.
ok, I'll start digging... )
I never slept in Bercy. About the only place in Paris I've never been close to.
I tried 2-3 months ago and reservation sucked for whatever reason. So I ended up in the 10th...
Night, folks.
