The 25 Best Restaurants In Paris 2024
"Septime, ever heard of it? When it opened in Charonne in 2011, the pioneering neo-bistro took all the stiffness out of bistro dining, made the cuisine more creative and unpretentious, threw in natural wines, and kicked off a movement.

It’s still just as tough to book as ever, but if you do, you’ll be rewarded with an inventive menu that changes nearly every day. Seasonal dishes are simple in presentation (there are only a few elements on the plate at once), but striking like mini edible works of art that'll inspire a few oohs and aahs at the table.
