Still enjoying looking at these photographic reminders of the wonderful intense flavours at Septime. Bertrand Grébaut, the chef, really knows to tickle the palate with some of the nicest flavour combinations you can imagine. From the intense beautifully melting dish with eggplant and bottarga to the bright sunny delicate whiting with fresh almonds, savagnin and beurre blanc, everything was utterly delicious. If I close my eyes I can still feel this wonderful experience and dream of returning to that table of pleasure.
