We'll be staying a few blocks from the river near notre dome cathedral I think rue des halles maybe.
There are a lot of really good cafes around there. I prefer to dine at the cafe's rather than the expensive places. Duck Confit is an art in paris and available at all the cafes.
Le Montebello Cafe is a nice spot in your area and there is a very good restaurant near it LeReminet one restaurant in the ND area I would recommend All off Quai de Montabello No reservations required at cafes or this place. If in the Rue Cler area I like Cafe Marche.
Enjoy Notre Dame. Pictures do not do it justice. Also make a trip to Versailles. Eat as many croissants as humanly possible. You will not find the same back here.
BTW if you dont know french just learn a few phrases on how to read and order off a menu. It goes a long way in trying to speak french in Paris.

I'm headed to Paris in a few weeks myself. I've found good recs and suggestions through Paris By Mouth: www.parisbymouth.com and chef/cookbook author David Lebovitz's blog: LINK /
And blogger Katie Parla has some France coverage as well: LINK /
Back to your original question: if you want high end in Paris, you will need a reservation. But you can find most excellent French food without going full-on high end "restaurant"--there are plenty of cafes, brasseries, etc. You might like Bofinger, with its notable art nouveau interior & easy online reservations...or the sister restaurant Petit Bofinger, directly across the street: LINK /
My upcoming food plans include very little high end dining--I get my fill in bakeries & patisseries during the day and often have little interest in food remaining by dinnertime.
You should also check out Rue Montorgueil, which isn't too far from Les Halles: LINK /
