Apicius

Housed in a sumptuous 18C private mansion that calls to mind a small palace, Apicius is named after this Ancient Roman epicurean who is said to have written the first cookbook. Chef Mathieu Pacaud is keeping the flame alive at this legendary place with a magnificent terrace that amounts to a remarkably bucolic garden in the city. The dishes perpetuate fine bourgeois tradition and achieve a synthesis between classicism and creativity. Time passes, Apicius changes… but remains!
