Le Mary Celeste

Cocktail barLocals' pick

Since 2014 the Candelaria team's oyster-and-cocktail bar has been the Marais after-work address: a big U-shaped counter where oysters are opened and drinks shaken, plus inventive small plates by Amandine Sepulcre Huang. The crowd packs in from the end of the working day.

Good to know

  • Come right after work for a seat at the U-shaped counter; oysters are sold by the piece.
  • Try the sour with grape eau-de-vie, matcha and cucumber, or one of the organic wines by the glass.
  • Small plates like the whelks with brown-butter mayo make it a light dinner.
