Apicius is a modern-cuisine restaurant located at 20 rue d'Artois in Paris's 8th arrondissement^[1].

Overview

Housed in a sumptuous 18th-century private mansion with the air of a small palace, Apicius takes its name from the epicure of ancient Rome credited with writing the first cookbook. Chef Mathieu Pacaud continues to write the story of this mythical address, which boasts a magnificent terrace — a truly bucolic garden in the heart of Paris. The plates perpetuate the fine bourgeois tradition and achieve a synthesis of classicism and creativity: time passes, Apicius changes... but endures^[1].
