What you should know about Septime.
Septime is best known for Chef Bertrand Grébaut, who opened the restaurant in 2011 after training under Alain Passard at the three-MICHELIN-Star L'Arpège, earning one MICHELIN Star, a Green MICHELIN Star, and a place on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list through a constantly changing tasting menu built almost entirely around sustainably sourced seasonal ingredients, natural wines, and contemporary French technique.
Years spent refining ingredient-first cooking under Alain Passard remain evident in every course as pristine vegetables harvested at their seasonal peak frequently become the centerpiece alongside impeccably sourced seafood, carefully raised meats, vibrant herbs, and naturally fermented accompaniments. Delicate broths, precise open-fire cooking, restrained sauces, and immaculate knife work allow each ingredient to express its fullest character without unnecessary embellishment, while thoughtfully selected natural wines deepen the dialogue between cuisine and terroir. evolving menus ensure no two visits are identical, rewarding returning diners with a succession of aromas, textures, and flavors that reflect both the season and the kitchen's relentless pursuit of precision, creativity, and sustainability.
