Inventive, sincere, generous... The art of Jean-Pierre Vigato, Grand Chef of Restaurant Apicius, draws its inspiration from traditional “bourgeois” cuisine, dishes left to simmer on the stove and the very best of market produce so that he can coax out every nuance of flavour. This means that blue Brittany lobster, white truffle, John Dory and game will be accompanied by the simplest of vegetables, in dishes that showcase the creativity and love of cuisine that this self-taught chef has inherited from his mother and grandmother. As soon as you cross the threshold, the magic works its spell. This superb 19th century private mansion on the ground floor of the former Hôtel de Talhouët-Roy boasts a ravishing décor where top-quality materials in sophisticated hues create a welcoming atmosphere and where bric-a-brac sits cheek by jowl with works of art. In the summer, it opens onto a delightful garden, right in the heart of Paris.
