Description

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!

Review summary

Apicius in Levallois-Perret offers modern French cuisine with generally high marks for food quality, service efficiency, and elegant ambiance. Reviewers frequently praise the perfect cooking of dishes like scallops and lobster, and highlight the beautiful, tranquil garden terrace as a standout feature. However, negative feedback cites issues such as slow meal pacing, inconsistent service, and uncomfortably low indoor temperatures. Some guests feel the food is competent but lacks exceptional flair. While many describe the experience as magical and refined, others report disappointing interactions and logistical problems. Overall, it suits diners seeking classic French cuisine in a sophisticated setting, though individual experiences may vary based on staff performance and specific dining conditions.
