Le Mary Céleste

Le Mary Céleste might just be the perfect good weather hangout, with its central bar framed by a walk-out window, summertime-nautical theme, DJ spinning in the corner, and popular 5-7pm happy hour with €1 oysters and €5 glasses of white wine. By the founders of Candelaria, who introduced tacos to Paris, you know you get a hip, young crowd who just as picky about their food as their fashion.

Order one of former L’Hotel bartender Carlos Madriz’s refreshing cocktails; Brooklyn micro-brewery beer on tap; or a glass of French wine. All pair well with the range of oysters that are marked by their origin, subtleties in their taste a talking point. Stay for dinner by chef Haan Palcu-Chang whose mixed heritage and international career give an uniquely spiced, exotic edge to traditional French fare, sometimes with a strong helping of vegetables.
