Septime, La Cave, Clamato, D'une île

"A masterful work of joy and creation that shows how cultural, agricultural and culinary forces forged a beloved Parisian legend. It seems impossible that the sublime experience of the Septime family of restaurants could be translated into a book, yet here it is. Was it sorcery? I think that's the only answer." - Alice Feiring, wine writer and author of Natural Wine for the People 

Bertrand Grébaut attended the famous Parisian culinary school Ferrandi. He then trained with the 3-Michelin-star chefs Joël Robuchon and Alain Passard and, in 2011 at the age of 30, in partnership with his high-school friend Théophile Pourriat, he opened Septime in the 11th arrondissement of Paris (currently #15 on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list). This was followed by La Cave (a tiny, bustling bar specialising in natural wines), Clamato (a crowded seafood-oriented spot), and their charming countryside guesthouse D'une île. With a preface by Alain Passard, legendary chef and owner of the three-Michelin-starred restaurant L'Arpège in Paris, France, and iconic natural winemaker Thierry Puzelat from Clos du Tue Bœuf.
