How to book Septime

Septime is a restaurant at 80 rue de Charonne in the 11th arrondissement of Paris¹. Bertrand Grébaut, who trained under Alain Passard at Arpège, opened it in 2011³, and he ran it with his partner Théophile Pourriat^2,4. The World's 50 Best reports that Grébaut died in July 2026³. Le Fooding calls Septime the parent house of the pair's group, and says the name is a nod to the film Le Grand Restaurant⁵.

The kitchen serves a surprise set menu of modern, plant-forward cooking². The 50 Best describes it as built on "micro-seasonality", with light Asian touches³. Lunch is a five-course tasting menu and dinner a seven-course one, each with an optional wine pairing¹. The wine list leans toward natural producers⁵. The restaurant is open Monday to Friday and is closed at weekends¹. It holds one star in the 2026 Michelin Guide France², and it was ranked No.11 on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2024 and No.40 in 2025³.

Michelin describes the room as industrial chic, with a workshop-style glass partition, rough wooden tables and exposed metal beams, and relaxed, informal service². Time Out notes that the wooden tables, industrial lights and concrete floor have not changed since the 2011 opening⁴. Tables are booked online only and open every day at 10am for the next three weeks^1,2.
