City Guide: Paris
Septime
A culinary gem that's full of surprises and serious ambiance.
The imperfect industrial interior, the exceptional staff, and the inventive courses make this one of our favorite restaurants in Paris. Phenomenal dishes like sous vide pork belly, delicately cooked turbot, and an oozy egg pouring over asparagus spears are a few items that have appeared on our last menu. The relaxed setting and supreme staff puts this on everyone’s restaurant bucket list, but it’s definitely worth the hassle to get a sought-after reservation. Should you not score a spot, you can always get a preview over at their dine-drink-in wine shop Septime La Cave (3 Rue Basfroi), which offers bottles to go, glasses for a few bucks and delicious small bites.
