RESTAURANT REVIEW
In the two years since they opened, a reservation at Bertrand Grébaut and Théo Pourriat’s restaurant has become one of the most difficult to get in Paris. Grébaut runs the kitchen, always utilizing top-class products to deliver tasty, seasonal and pure “modern bistro” dishes, like a caramelized pork belly with carrots and pointed cabbage, while Pourriat runs the front of the house, providing “smooth and friendly service” along with a “beautiful selection of organic wines.” The décor plays its own important role in the experience: From the exposed brick walls to the vintage industrial lighting to the unfinished wood tables to the menus delivered on industrial clipboards, everything about the restaurant screams the New Wave of Parisian restaurant. Add a terrific quality/price ratio to the list and it’s easy to understand why “everybody loves Septime.”
