Our fall-back is always Vesuvio, just across the street from the St-Germain métro station. It has a lengthy menu of Italian and French food; student meal cards are accepted, which gives you an idea of the affordability. The restaurant is very lively and lots of fun.

I rarely tip in Paris, and certainly wouldn't if I was eating on that budget in real cheap places. Even when I do, I sure wouldn't tip 10 pct of the bill!
YOu don't have to tip at all, there's no law that you have to tip. Service is already included in the bill, unlike the US and some other countries -- at least in France.
There isn't any European rule, it varies by country and whether service is included or not in the bill. It isn't included by law in some countries, but it must be included in France.

FWIW, my daughter and I were able to eat quite reasonably in Paris by sticking mostly with crepe stands (Oh how I miss those ham and cheese crepes!) and the little sandwich place near our hotel. We had a couple of cafe meals and a wonderful lunch at a Jewish restaurant in the Marais. But I was amazed at how little we wound up spending. And how much we enjoyed what we ate!

An ex-pat took to this bistro where I think I was the only non-Parisian. It is just a few blocks from the Louvre. Quite good and in your price range.
