Critiques of curiosity
The Monetary Occasions (2014) “A dozen or so wines can be found by the glass (from €4.50). The bottles to remove or drink in (€7 corkage) embody an particularly sturdy collection of Italians, together with Radikon, the king of orange wines. A great aperitif hangout.”
Telerama (2013) “…Une belle sélection à prix raisonnables de quatre-vingt-dix vins à consommer sur place ou à emporter, dans un esprit vignerons indépendants et créatifs.”
Not Ingesting Poison in Paris (2013) “If Septime is the mothership, exerting a gravitational pull on diners citywide, Septime Cave is the dinghy : slightly escape pod for tasteful rue de Charonne locals searching for a random weeknight tipple.”
