Septime

Septime, a hyperseasonal fine dining spot in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, offers innovative cuisine with elevated flavors and textures. The unassuming ambiance and rustic interior design create a relaxed atmosphere, but the small establishment can feel cramped at times. The price range is reasonable for the quality of food, though the portions may be small for some.

Septime's menu features simple ingredients that are creatively transformed into dishes such as marinated raw scallops with yuzu, grilled penny bun mushroom with sour cream and crispy beef, and poached fish fillet with orange, water grass, and capers. The restaurant also offers a surprise 5-course menu that highlights fresh and flavorful ingredients.

For drinks, Septime's knowledgeable sommelier offers a selection of organic and bio wines, including a St-Aubin from H. Lamy, and unique non-alcoholic beverages such as house-made juices. The restaurant also has a bar across the street, La Cave, where guests can purchase bottles of wine and vermouth.

While securing a reservation at Septime may be difficult, the experience is worth it for those seeking an adventurous culinary journey.
