If you're staying in one of the many Parisian villas in France, there's no question that you'll have hundreds of classic and contemporary restaurants to choose from. Bon Apetit magazine provides a snippet of some of the hottest eateries that have recently popped up in the city, many of them hidden underground or on little-known side streets.

L'Agape Substance is a tapas-like joint with a casual atmosphere and gourmet menu. Their tiny plates pack a punch of flavor as chef David Toutain explores the limits of each ingredient, ranging from Jerusalem artichokes to succulent sea urchin. Those spending some time in luxury vacation rentals should make their reservations well in advance, as this restaurant gains more popularity among locals and tourists.

Nestled in the small Quartier de l'Europe, Neva Cuisine is led by the Mexican-born chef Beatriz Gonzalez, who once worked at a premier French brasserie. The menu changes daily and features homemade gnocchi, monkfish and duck foie gras. This small culinary gem is also an ideal place to enjoy a lavish cocktail after touring the City of Light.
