The Art of Ceviche

A cornerstone of Peruvian heritage, and an absolute must-try at APU Paris, is our unparalleled Ceviche. Our chefs meticulously prepare this iconic delicacy using only the freshest, sustainably sourced catch of the day, expertly marinated in our signature "leche de tigre"—a potent, zesty elixir of freshly squeezed lime juice, aromatic Aji Limo peppers, red onions, and cilantro. Experience the purity of our Ceviche Clasico, featuring premium white fish, sweet potato, and crispy cancha corn. Venture further with the vibrant Ceviche Mixto, a generous medley of seafood, or explore the sophisticated fusion of Ceviche Nikkei, incorporating subtle notes of soy and sesame. Every spoonful of our authentic Peruvian ceviche offers a refreshing explosion of flavor, embodying the spirit and freshness of the Pacific coast, truly positioning APU as the go-to place for the best ceviche in Paris.

Beyond Ceviche: A Culinary Journey Through Hot Dishes

Beyond ceviche, APU Peruvian Restaurant Paris presents an extensive menu of traditional and innovative hot dishes. Indulge in the universally beloved Lomo Saltado, a testament to Peru's Chifa (Chinese-Peruvian) legacy. This dynamic stir-fry features succulent strips of marinated beef, wok-fried with red onions, tomatoes, and a savory sauce, accompanied by crispy golden French fries and fluffy white rice. Discover the delicate artistry of Tiradito, thinly sliced fish bathed in a vibrant, often spicy, and creamy sauce, reflecting Peru's Japanese culinary connection. Experience the ultimate in Peruvian comfort with Ají de Gallina, a rich and creamy stew of shredded chicken bathed in a luxurious yellow Aji Amarillo pepper sauce. For the adventurous palate, our charcoal-grilled Anticuchos (marinated beef heart skewers) are a true delicacy. Don't miss the intensely flavorful Seco de Cordero, a slow-braised lamb stew in a cilantro-based sauce, or the delightful Arroz con Pato, duck and rice with dark beer. For a taste of the Andes, our Rocoto Relleno features spicy rocoto peppers carefully stuffed with seasoned ground beef and cheese, then baked to perfection. Each dish at APU tells a story of Peru's diverse culinary regions and historical influences, ensuring an unparalleled experience of authentic Peruvian food in Paris.
