Pizza Appollinaire produces wonderfully crispy thin crust  pizza from their brick built oven. But they are more than a pizza restaurant. The classic is taglietteli with cepes and foie gras in a creamy sauce. There is nearly always a fish of the day and it produces on of the best salad gascon with a sliver of pan fried fois gras to top it off.
