Septime, Contemporary restaurant in 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
Septime is a restaurant housed in a former workshop with exposed concrete, untreated wooden tables, and metal beams running across the ceiling. The space feels open and industrial while maintaining a warm, welcoming quality.
Chef Bertrand Grébaut opened Septime in 2011 after working under Alain Passard at the three-star restaurant Arpège. He brought refined cooking techniques to a casual, approachable dining format rather than formal haute cuisine.
The restaurant received the 24th position in The World's 50 Best Restaurants list of 2021, marking its influence in French gastronomy.
Reservations open each day at 10 AM for dates three weeks in advance, so planning ahead is necessary. Lunch runs from 12:15 to 14:00 and dinner from 19:00 to 22:30, with these times holding consistently throughout the week.
The restaurant received the Sustainable Restaurant Award in 2017 for its focus on local suppliers and waste reduction. This commitment shapes the menu regularly, with seasonal ingredients and their origin playing a central role in what gets cooked.
