Chanced upon the place and was glad we gone in to eat. Everything was delicious. We had pumpkin soup and coconut milk with some bread. The asparagus with egg has a refreshing taste. With a perfectly cooked egg. Well flavoured with salt, pepper and lemon zest. The Avalon Cream Pasta was one of the best pasta I’ve had. Cooked to Al dente and plenty of abalone pieces provided a pleasant bite contrasting nicely with the cream sauce. Meat pie pastry was buttery and flaky. The meat in it was tender and juicy. The red wine sauce added a depth to the dish. Beef tenderloin with potato gratin was great. Beef was soft and flavourful with a mushroom sauce adding depth to the dish. Gratin had a golden brown layer indicating a well baked dish with finely slices of potato. It was rich and creamy with layers of cheese. It was one of our favourites. Ended with mini creme brĂ»lĂ©e on the house, incredibly soft and creamy. The vanilla flavour was rich and was delightful. Overall a very nice and pleasant meal. Would come back again if we visit Jeju!

Il est des endroits, perdus aux confins d’üles lointaines, qui surgissent comme des phares dans la brume de l’exil. À Jeju, ce joyau volcanique corĂ©en cernĂ© d’embruns et de mystĂšres, Apis est de ceux-lĂ . Un petit restaurant français, nichĂ© dans une ruelle discrĂšte, oĂč l’on retrouve, avec une Ă©motion presque enfantine, le goĂ»t exact de la France — celui qui console, qui Ă©lĂšve, qui enchante. DĂšs qu’on pousse la porte, on est saisi par une sorte de douceur, une lumiĂšre tranquille, une Ă©lĂ©gance sans apprĂȘt. Ici, point de dĂ©cor tapageur : quelques affiches Ă©vocatrices, des tables bien mises, et cette atmosphĂšre rare, qui tient Ă  l’accueil tout en sourire, Ă  l’accent de chez nous, et Ă  cette bienveillance qu’on croyait perdue. Il y a du charme, du vrai. Du charme Ă  la française. Et puis, il y a Romain. Romain, l’ñme du lieu, un homme qui semble tout droit sorti d’un roman de Modiano ou d’un bistrot du Marais. Il cuisine, il sert, il raconte, il aide. Posez-lui une question sur Jeju — ses randonnĂ©es, ses plages secrĂštes, ses musĂ©es Ă©tonnants — et le voilĂ  guide improvisĂ©, carnet Ă  la main, prĂȘt Ă  vous tracer un itinĂ©raire de rĂȘve. Il est, pour le voyageur un peu perdu, ce que le feu de cheminĂ©e est au promeneur transi : une chaleur rassurante. Mais parlons de ce qu’on y mange, car c’est bien lĂ  que le miracle s’accomplit. À Apis, on dĂ©guste un menu aussi savoureux qu’abordable, Ă  un prix qu’on n’oserait espĂ©rer, mĂȘme dans la province française. Ce jour-lĂ , j’ai goĂ»tĂ© un veloutĂ© de carottes Ă  faire pleurer un moine bouddhiste, suivi d’une tourte Ă  l’émincĂ©e de viande croustillante et parfumee Ă  souhait, escortee d’une bouillabaisse qui chantait la mer. Le dessert ? Nous en avons goutĂ© 3 ! Comme une urgence Ă  se blottir dans nos repĂšres sucrĂ©s : Un gratin au citron cernĂ© d’un veloutĂ© de fruits rouges et, une assiette de profiteroles fondantes au chocolat noir, si juste, si tendre, qu’on aurait cru une dĂ©claration d’amour. Et une crĂšme brĂ»lĂ©e qui devient trĂšs classique une fois que sommes tombĂ©es dans les premiers desserts. Et tout cela, pour moins que le prix d’un plat sans Ăąme dans une brasserie touristique. Il y a quelque chose de noble dans cette cuisine-lĂ . Non pas dans le sens prĂ©tentieux du terme, mais dans sa fidĂ©litĂ© aux saveurs, Ă  la mesure, Ă  l’émotion. C’est une France vraie qui parle Ă  la bouche et au cƓur. Une France qu’on croyait loin, et qui soudain nous tend les bras, sur une Ăźle corĂ©enne balayĂ©e par les vents. Apis, c’est plus qu’un restaurant. C’est une ambassade discrĂšte de la beautĂ© française, un refuge pour les nostalgiques et les curieux, une halte inespĂ©rĂ©e oĂč l’on se sent, un instant, chez soi.

Apis Jeju is the sweetest place to get cake! đŸŽ‚âœšđŸ„° Today was my husband's 30th birthday, and we wanted to surprise him with something special even though we're traveling. My sister-in-law called to see if they had something big enough for five people, and the chef made a gorgeous special order cake for us night-of. The cream was light and delicious, the chocolate was rich, and there were fun crispy cookies in the strawberry middle! It was mesmerizing to watch the chef spray gold mist and tuck in little flakes of gold foil. Would strongly recommend coming here for all your sweet and festive desires. đŸ„°

If you need a meal, stop looking any further and go to Apis. This dining experience was above and beyond any expectation we had for this 5.0 rated restaurant, and we were truly blown away. Every dish we tried was out of this world, with perfectly balanced flavors. Chef Romain is humble and really nice, but truly a master at what he does (it's no surprise he was a chef at the French Open for 17 years in a row before moving to Jeju). It is a small place (only about 6 tables) ran by him and his family, which adds to the great atmosphere. I can go on and on about the positive thoughts that are still lingering in my mind about last night's meal, so I'll stop here with "you must go and try...
