APICIUS
Since you love
Apicius on avenue de Villiers, you'll adore
Jean-Pierre Vigato at his new address on rue
d'Artois. The
sumptuous staff goes well with the high level of gastronomy produced
by this great Chef. Since
December, 2004, APICIUS has been in the very chic Saint Philippe du Roule
area at an opening near an XVIIIth
century style private hotel
embellished by a park. There one finds such great recipes as the foie gras de
canard poêlé
with mild vinegar, the flesh of bay prawns au couteau semi-baked in
olive oil, spit roasted rack of
lamb des Pyrénées, and the croquant
à la réglisse or the millefeuille au café with coffee flavored ice
cream.
The immense choice of wines, and the selection of cigars,
gratifies their admirers.
Menu from 120 €; àla carte from 80 to 150 €. Open every day except
Saturday and Sunday.

LUCAS CARTON
Palace
revolution. Chef Alain Senderens, owner of the prestigious and
luxurious restaurant LUCAS CARTON,
just decided to abandon his 3 Michelin Guide stars in order to
launch a gastronomie more in phase with the
new customs of the times
and very much cheaper, the average price of a meal just dropped
from 300 to 100
€. The magnificent work on the matching of the dishes and the wines
continues and new products will appear
on the à

Duchaufour Lawrence and architect
Axel Schoenert.

Open every day except Saturday
noon, Sunday and Monday noon. Closed

TOKYO EAT
Lots of good
things are happening at the "Site de Création
Contemporaine" of the Tokyo Palace, commencing
with the restaurant

furniture design and colored
lights like the suns, the TOKYO EAT Chef, Thierry Bassard,
settles upon us zucchini marinées
aux pétales
d'ail and mozzarella made from buffalo milk, creamy risotto aux légumes,
daurade à la plancha and his
crumbly desserts aux fruits served in
glasses. For dinner, the list of dishes is completed by Tokyo Hits
to
accompany the evening's musical selections. For the duration of
the 'belle saison', Eric and Claudio open
their large terrace on the esplanade, between the wings of the museum, where one can find
meals, have a
drink or simply tan one's self in an artistic Festival d'Avignon ambiance.

LA
CUISINE
On the left
bank, two steps from the Seine, Christine Duboscq and Jean-Vincent Selles have set up their
restaurant LA
CUISINE in a soothing and polished atmosphere. There, the
young Chef Sébastien
Blettery
prepares gastronomy that flirts with the stars; I recommend
the foie gras en terrine au Muscat with a purée of
figs and plums,
braised lamb's knuckle aux poivrons doux on simmered haricot beans and for dessert, soup
made with ice cream, candies and passion
fruit. The beautiful wine list is signed Éric Baumard. It's the
ideal
address to find the pleasure of a beautiful, elegant and calm
table.

The dinning room, made comfortable with long leather window seats,
a new elegant decor and its shinny monuments, receives the passing

TERRASSE MIRABEAU
Parisians favor
the beautiful terraces, but the ability to match the outdoors with
quality dishes isn't found often;
its the success of Chef Pierre Négrevergne
- former second to Michel Rostang - who's responsible for the
tasty
cuisine at the TERRASSE MIRABEAU in
elegant surroundings open to the outside. Among the most
appreciated dishes is the crusty prawn tails from Brittany, the faux
filet d'Aubrac with dauphinois potatoes, the
fricassee of organic
poultry aux citron confites or banana créme
brûlée
à
la vanille Bourbon that creates
happiness among the regular
clientele.

a small country-side house, in a real garden, among the most
agreeable in Paris that LE ROLAND

played every year. Chef Xavier Rousseau, a young chef who arrived from
