Septime Cave

Leave a comment

The newest bottle shop on the block from the boys behind Septime. Shop to go, or stay and pop your cork with a €7 droit de bouchon. Snack options, for those lucky enough to snag a stool or a piece of counter, include pancetta di Colonnata, house-smoked duck breast, anchovies with ricotta, foie gras with smoked eel, with prices ranging from €4-14. This isn’t a restaurant, a place for large groups, or a substitute for Septime, but it promises to be a perfect spot for a high-quality/low-key apéro. Dead cheap glasses from €3-5.

Septime alums to open new bistro in the 17th

Good news for people (like us) who have a hard time getting into Septime: two alums have joined forces to open a new bistro in October on the rue des Dames.

Marco, who was second to Bertrand Grébaut at the time of Septime’s opening, will be running the kitchen at Gare au Gorille. Louis, who is known by Septime fans as “the really tall and nice one,” will be taking care of the front of house.

The World’s 50 Best Restaurants for 2013

2 Comments

It’s that time of year again…the foodie frenzy over the annual San Pellegrino restaurant rankings has begun. The biggest shakeup was in the top three with El Celler De Can Roca taking the #1 title away from Noma who’d held it for the past three years. Osteria Francescana knocked  Mugaritz down a notch to claim third place.

There are no French restaurants in the Top 10… again. 

France was not feeling the love last night as only 5 restaurants made it to the top 50. The highest ranked is L’Arpège at #16, who replaced L’Atelier Saint-Germain de Joël Robuchon as the highest rated French restaurant. Le Chateaubriand followed at #18, then L’Astrance at #23 with L’Atelier Saint-Germain de Joël Robuchon slipping 12 spots to #24.

Septime makes it into the big leagues.

Bertrand Grébaut’s Septime cracked the extended list last year at #87. His team leapt 38 spots to sneak into the top 50 for the first time at #49. Septime, in fact, was the only Paris restaurant whose ranking rose instead of fell in 2013.

Alain Ducasse received a lifetime achievement award, but no ranking.

The famed French chef was honored for his worldwide legacy of quality, longevity, and mentorship but not a single one of his 24 restaurants appeared on the list. Only Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée and Le Louis XV made it onto the extended version at numbers 79 and 96 respectively.

Pierre Gagnaire doesn’t make an appearance.

Pierre Gagnaire, who was well within the top 20 last year at #17, was bumped off this year’s top fifty t0 land at #51.

Paris Results:

  • L’Arpège #16, again, up from #19 in 2011, not ranked in 2010 or 2009, #46 in 2008
  • Le Chateaubriand #18 in 2013, down from #15 in 2012, #9 in 2011, #11 in 2010, #40 in 2009
  • L’Astrance #23 in 2013, down from #18 in 2012, #13 in 2011, #16 in 2010, #11 in 2009, #11 in 2008
  • L’Atelier Saint-Germain de Joël Robuchon #24 in 2013, down from #12 in 2012, #14 in 2011, #29 in 2010, #18 in 2009, #14 in 2008
