I finally had the chance to enjoy lunch at APICIUS, a restaurant I had wanted to visit for a long time. It has maintained a high reputation for many years, and my experience certainly lived up to that acclaim.What impressed me first was the exceptional quality of the service. The staff exhibited refined manners, and their thoughtful attention was both natural and pleasant, allowing me to experience the kind of hospitality expected from a prestigious grand maison. The timing of the dish explanations and serving was also spot on, making for a comfortable dining experience throughout.As for the food, it did not disappoint. Each dish, based on classic French cuisine, was meticulously prepared, showcasing solid techniques and high standards rather than flamboyance. Every dish had a sense of stability, reflecting the restaurant's long-standing expertise.While dinner requires a considerable budget, lunch is relatively accessible, and considering the quality, the cost performance is quite good. I believe this is a place I can recommend to anyone looking to enjoy a refined atmosphere, excellent service, and authentic French cuisine.
