Restaurant Apo: wine cellar & bistronomic plates to share in Boulogne-Billancourt (92)

In Boulogne-Billancourt, Apo is a good neighborhood address where you can meet up in a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy plates to share and good wines, all offered at good value for money. Attention, a favorite spot.

It's a spot for bon vivants, a modern and cheerful tavern where locals gather around good wines andgourmet plates to share, inspired by tapas. You'll find the typical atmosphere of a Parisian bistro that wants to do things right, in an atmosphere that brings good friends together. Hosted by a team full of pep and humor, Apo is one of those neighborhood nuggets you've got to make a note of in Boulogne-Billancourt, in the Hauts-de-Seine (and within easy metro reach!).

With a menu that changes according to season and inspiration, and recipes inspired by flavors from near and far, regulars are never likely to get bored. In the evening, the restaurant offers a variety of gourmet dishes to share, because after all, why choose? Big eaters may be at a bit of a disadvantage with this format, where you can pick and choose here and there, but indecisive diners will be able to dare to order whatever they fancy without the feeling of a missed opportunity.

Inside, you can take refuge in this warm, wooded cocoon, which honors the charm of a Paris of yesteryear, while adding a touch of modernity to the gourmet offering. When the weather's fine, we'll be delighted to meet you on the terrace. In any case, we strongly recommend that you make a reservation, as the local gourmets have already spread the word.

We're passionate about teasing out the wines on the menu, and recommend that you let the team's advice guide you, depending on your order and your tastes. On the menu, there's a wide choice of dishes to suit meat lovers, seafood lovers and vegetarians alike. For those who eat everything, it's an opportunity to indulge without frustration!

The various dishes focus on recipes that showcase the good stuff, twisted with international flavors, a bit like a travel diary that, in the end, always reminds us of the essential: naturalness is at the heart of every plate.

During our visit, when summer weather was beaming down on Paris, we took refuge in plates full of freshness and lightness. From a zucchini-fresh goat's cheese and toasted pine nuts combo, we waltzed towards comforting caramelized carrots, married with tahini (sesame paste), maple syrup and crunchy hazelnuts, a real favorite.

The Vitello Tonnato reminds us of the flavors of Northern Italy, with its melting veal, maritime-accented sauce and capers adding freshness. If you're feeling seaworthy, the Thai-style tuna tartare will rival your taste buds, and we're particularly fond of the cockles with miso butter and combawa.

When it's time for dessert, there's no mistaking the combo of gourmandise and lightness, so that even if you're not particularly fond of sweets, a note of sweetness can still be the finishing touch. The unstructured cheese cake with its speculos crumble will bring the meal to a close with a final touch of pep, while the chocolate mousse with olive oil and fleur de sel will delight chocoholics looking for a dessert with character.

Roughly speaking, you'll need to budget between €10 and €14 for tapas-style plates, and €8 for dessert. 3 courses should be enough per person, but it's more interesting to share with several people and split the bill so you can taste everything. The spot lends itself well to a date or a drink with friends, but less so to a family outing.
