Apicius
From the moment you arrive on rue d'Artois, you can’t help but notice the exceptional charm of the surroundings. To enter Apicius, an hôtel particulier (private mansion), which is almost entirely dedicated to the work of culinary master Jean-Pierre Vigatto, you must meander through the glorious park-like gardens. Here in this sumptuous setting near the Palais Triangle d’Or, top-rated Parisian chef, Vigatto, offers genuine gourmet cuisine which perfect match the elegant ambiance. If you are a small group I suggest dining in one of the private rooms, whereas for a table of two, the vast dining room is ideal for mixing in Parisian society.
