Where to eat on first night in Paris?

[smartquark]

We will be three people visiting Paris in mid-June and will undoubtedly be tired when we get to our apartment in Arrondissement #5. Any suggestions for tasty but simple dinner close to Quai de la Tournelle?

We had a great meal in a not too formal,not too expensive restaurant near the Meubert Mutualite metro stop - Sola. Very tasty..

le Reminet. it can be reserved on lafourchette.com with a 40% discount promo!
I took my friends there the day they arrived from NYC, it was good enough for a first meal.

<it was good enough for a first meal>

imho, in Paris, "Good enough" is never good enough. There is too much GREAT food to be had.

Perhaps, but the OP asked for a "tasty but simple dinner" due to the circumstances. They may want to have "GREAT" food on another day.

I agree -- one that crucial first day, when you're exhausted and jet-lagged, you just don't have the mental faculties to process "great" when you're worried about falling asleep with your nose in your puree.

The one may reconsider about Le Réminet. The wait can be long, and the last few times I went, the food ranged from ok to inconsistent.
