Apicius

A classic french restaurant that has been around since 1983! Dishes were all cooked very well, especially the Kuro Awabi steak, Beef Tartare, and even my requested well-done beef tenderloin was still so tender. Wine list is stellar with good age bottles that are ready to drink. Dessert and Petit Four carts were so fun to choose from.

I was recommended this restaurant by a retired professional French chef. They remarked on the classic experience and how you could savor the ingredients within the dish rather than the “little dots” that are all too common in modern fine dining French restaurants. It was a very impressive grand maison experience with amazing food, impeccable service expected at a 3 star restaurant, and a luxurious design element. Note that men do need to wear a jacket.

I can’t say this is good food. Expensive? Yes. Fancy? Maybe. Tasty? Doesn’t hold up compared to the other Japanese restaurants I’ve tried, Michelins or not. Don’t wear a suit? No problem. The sulky server will dress you in one anyway. Wrong size, of course. And their English accent is kinda thick, so don’t expect to understand everything.

The food and service are good and you will have a wonderful time. There is a wide selection of desserts. Please note that there is a dress code. If you forget, you can rent one at the restaurant.

Apicius, a name steeped in culinary history, embodies the essence of classical French cuisine with a touch of timeless elegance. Nestled in the heart of tokyo, this restaurant pays homage to the legendary Roman gourmet through meticulously crafted dishes that celebrate the rich heritage of French gastronomy. From the delicate flavors of foie gras to the indulgent decadence of coq au vin, each dish is a masterful blend of tradition and innovation, curated to delight the most discerning palates

A great experience with very good food served with great theatre. They have both a dessert and cheese trolley which is so unusual these days. It's expensive, particularly if you have their suggested desert wine, Chateau d'Equem, but well worth it!

Great wines, sommelier, chef, and food

Delicious food, smart atmosphere, excellent service. A fantastic experience, but save up on advance!

確実に特別な時間を演出してくれる。日比谷駅からすぐの日本を代表するグランメゾン。店名は美食家の名前だそう。アール・ヌーヴォーの店内は社交場のよう。 創業40年は経過、最近久しぶりにシェフが交代(元々スーシェフだった森山シェフ)。 今回はライトめなランチコースを。初めにこのお店だとわかるオリーブが提供され料理を待つ。アミューズメントが来た後に前菜は'茸と烏賊のフリカッセと半熟卵'を。茸のソースは非常に濃厚、鮮やかな野菜、少し揚げられていて食感の良い烏賊は絶品。 メインの魚介のポワレはソースが泡立ち食べたことないくらいなめらか。パンやデザートは好きなだけ注文可能。スペシャリテの胡椒のアイスはここだけの味。心地よい接客を含め特別な日を素晴らしいものにしてくれた。
