Septime La Cave

The food at Septime La Cave follows a philosophy of simplicity and quality that perfectly complements its wine-focused mission. This isn't a full restaurant menu but rather a carefully curated selection of small plates, charcuterie, and seasonal preparations designed to enhance your wine experience rather than compete with it.

The approach centers on sourcing exceptional products and treating them with respect. The charcuterie selection highlights regional French specialties: saucisson d'Ardèche with its distinctive flavor profile, terrine made from prized Bigorre black pork, and premium Galician beef ham that showcases the quality of Spanish cured meats. These are products chosen for their character and craftsmanship, served simply to let their inherent qualities shine.

The kitchen also prepares seasonal small plates that change based on what's available and what pairs well with the current wine selection. Dishes like raw courgettes dressed with basil vinaigrette and creamy feta demonstrate the kitchen's ability to create compelling flavors from minimal ingredients. The preparations are straightforward but thoughtful, with an emphasis on vegetables, quality dairy, and bright, clean flavors that refresh the palate between sips of wine.

Pricing remains accessible, with items on the slate board ranging from €5.50 to €12, making it easy to order several dishes to share. The portions are designed for grazing and sharing—this is food meant to accompany an evening of wine exploration, not to dominate it. Everything is prepared with the same attention to seasonality and product quality that defines the Septime family of restaurants, just expressed in a more casual, wine bar format. The result is a food program that feels like the perfect supporting act: essential, expertly executed, but always in service of the main attraction—those 90 beautiful bottles waiting to be discovered.
