In october me and my boyfriend are going to paris to go sightseeing but we were worried that all the restaurants in paris are really up market and we won’t like the food or it is to expensive. Thank you if you answer

To begin with, all the restaurants in Paris are not upmarket and, indeed, most are not.
There is no accounting for taste so it is always possible that you won’t like the food but not very likely. French food is one of the glories of the world and no one who is not a complete prate will not enjoy it.
However, there is also food of almost every know nationality and ethnicity in Paris. North African, Asian and Italian restaurants are everywhere.
There is even "American food" in the form of well known American chain restaurants from Starbucks to Pizza Hut to (gag) McDonald’s.
i suggest you take a walk along the rue Mouffetard in the 5th arrondissment. You’ll find dozens and dozens of cheap places to eat where you can get a three course meal with a glass of wine or beer for as little as 10-12 euros.
For something quite good and also cheap try the Auberge le Pot de Terre ( http://www.lepotdeterre.com/index2.htm) at 22, rue du Pot de Fer. You can get a fixed price lunch of two courses for 8.50 euros or a full 3 course meal for 10.50 euros.
Hello,
I have this book http://www.amazon.com/Food-Lovers-Guide-Paris-4th/dp/0761114793 4th Ed. from 1999. I searched online because I figured there would be a newer edition, but there is not. The author does have some current recommendations on her site here – http://www.patriciawells.com/paris/ptables-combined.htm although they do seem a little pricey, but Paris can be expensive. I did run across this book – http://www.amazon.com/Eating-Drinking-Paris-French-Restaurant/dp/1593601115/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_2 I do not have personal experience with this book, but it got good reviews and in browsing online, it looks quite useful to me.
You don’t say how long your stay is, but it would be really unfortunate if you did not take advantage of the wonderful French food, in my opinion the best in the world. Of course you may not like everything, but there is something for everyone. If it is a short stay, be sure to splurge (based on your budget) on a good meal. If it is a longer stay, still do at least one splurge, but you can find ways to eat on a budget – coffee and croissant at a café for breakfast, sandwiches or a picnic meal bought from a market for lunch (or even dinner). Also, look out for a type of store called "traiteur" where you can by already prepared dishes.
Off the topic of food I did find this site in my search – http://www.anamericaninparis.com/guide1.html It seems like a great primer if this is your first trip to Paris. Also for getting around I recommend a map like this – http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/0785991824/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_1?ie=UTF8&index=1 This is just to show you what it looks like. Do not spend $40 on Amazon for this, you should be able to buy it at any magazine stand that you see out on the street in Paris.
I hope this helps you. Bon Voyage!
all of the restaurants will have menus outside of the restaurant, and many will have english menus if you don’t speak french, so you will be able to check out the food/prices before you sit down. also, try to stay out of the heavily-touristy places when eating. there are plenty of restaurants with lower prices and "normal" food… just keep an eye out!
If you’re really hungry, Chartier.
But if you are in another state of "hungriness", go to the Bois de Boulogne, at night. Food is there… if you have the money.
