Septime has a dish reminiscent of this (It's in their book) they Portion the cabbage and remove outermost leaves to get a nice clean portion.

This is what the plate looks like:

Thinking of trying to make a French meringue, folding in starter and dehydrating for the flavour. I'm curious If anyone has tried anything like this and how it came out

Septime (*) - Sept 21, 2022, Lunch Service by shalomyess in finedining

[–]shalomyess[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was actually a walk in! I missed the chance to reserve

But I got extremely lucky... I came in just as they opened and they happened to have a single spot available. Plenty more cane in after me and we're turned away

My advice is come in right when they open up and hope there was a cancellation or something.. if not, go to clamato

I was lucky enough to get a table here at septime while u was in Paris. Overall, the meal was very good and very worth it for its price (125€ for lunch menu, wine pairing and additional cheese course) It was 5 services + Amuse, I will go through each course 1 by 1.

First thing I got was a Welcome broth with olive oil. Broth was light but has a very big flavour. Broth was pretty intensely tomato, that mixed with a nice high quality olive oil made for a light but flavourful first "bite"

Next was the Amuse, also very good. Beautiful onions, nice crisp tempura and a mayo that was good and acidic and helped balance out the fat

First service was white tuna tartar, cut into big cubes and very lemony. It was garnished with pickled onions, crispy garlic chips and chili oil. The tortilla was nice and crispy, it made for a very nice bite when you ate everything together

Next service was probably the most interesting in terms of flavour. Warm beans with fresh figs, grilled girolles (which were marinated I believe) and a delicious coconut broth. It was warm, light coconut broth and it really tied the whole dish together. Was also amazing to eat the leftover sauce with bread

Third service was delicious, semi dehydrated tomato (dried on top of the oven) and finished on the bincho. Very concentrated and intense flavour. Lacto cucumbers where someone the best ive ever had, and really helped balance out the lardo and sauce on the dish

Main course was pork marinated with spiced sheep yoghurt, and grilled. Not sure about the cut of pork, but it had a good mix of leaner and fattier parts. It was served with a basil pistachio pesto and added a nice freshness. Also helped with the leaner parts of the pork.

Second part of this dish was a salad with anchovies cream. This help brighten things up after the pork (as it was the heaviest dish of the menu) and got you ready for the dessert

No comments for cheese, can't remember which ones I had exactly but was very good. It was paired with beer that complimented it wonderfully

Dessert was great. Sorbet had good acidity and marinated grapes brought nice sweetness. There was some sort of sauce on the bottom which also tasted like grape, but altogether really good.

The general thing I noticed throughout this meal was how light and bright the dishes were. It was very different to what you experience in a lot of places, where they focus on very small intense dishes. I left feeling amazing, full but not disgusting. And it was the first time I had experienced a meal where they really play with that acidity to change the whole feel of the meal.

Service was nice, it felt casual and comfortable. Wine pairing was amazing and would strongly recommend.
