Apicius

There are restaurants in Paris. And then there is Apicius, hiding a park in the 8th arrondissement.

Push open a discreet door at 20 Rue d'Artois, follow a cobbled path through a private garden, and discover an 18th-century mansion that resembles a small palace. This is where Mathieu Pacaud brings a legendary restaurant to life, backed by a Michelin star and a 16/20 score in the 2026 Gault et Millau guide.

Classical cooking at its finest

Green asparagus with aged Comté sabayon, sea bass with carrot and orange mousseline, golden sweetbreads with quatre-épices: the menu honours great French gastronomy through superb produce, exact cooking and precise presentation.

A shaded terrace and the luxury of silence

In fine weather, the garden terrace is one of the loveliest surprises in Paris: dine in complete peace, just moments from the Champs-Élysées. Elegant salons and exceptionally well-judged service complete the setting, open for lunch and dinner, seven days a week.

Who is it for?

• A garden dinner without leaving the Golden Triangle
• Lovers of great classical cooking
• An exceptional occasion away from prying eyes

Why Apicius leaves an impression

Because Paris has only one place that brings together a private park, a mansion and a Michelin star.

Apicius, the secret oasis of the 8th.
