Discover some exciting new eateries for your next visit to the City of Light

French cuisine is the benchmark for good food, and French the language of top kitchens - and like many capital cities, Paris also hosts restaurants from every country and continent. But like any bustling metropolis, new eateries are opening in the city all the time. Here the MCC team has put together a selection of the latest dining spots you may want to try.

3. Ephemera
The brainchild of a trio of friends just out of the Paul Bocuse institute, Ephemera is the founding group of a hoped-for series of ‘immersive’ but affordable restaurants to transport customers into different scenarios. 'Under The Sea' sits in a hidden room of the MK2 Bibliothèque using effects designed by a film director, such as animated floors and projections to create the desired atmosphere. The food is fairly simple, French, and heavily inclined towards seafood, although burgers are available, but the atmosphere is definitely an innovation.
