I need to pick 4 of the 5 options: Chez Dumonet,Frenchie, Paul Bert, Le Severo,Le Troquet. I'm there by myself 2.5 days after work., Suggestions outside this group are also welcome.
I'd agree with Souphie, since Le Troquet was recently sold, but be warned that Frenchie (while delicious) is nearly impossible to book, requiring reservations many months in advance.
