"Yes, you’ll hear a lot of English speakers at Le Mary Celeste, but we still enjoy this wine bar in Le Marais (from the same group that runs Candelaria) for its laid-back vibe, great small plates, and funky natural wine. Count on dishes like creamy deviled eggs, bulots with wasabi mayo, beef tartare with smoked mayonnaise, chili oil, and mint, and you'll want to order plenty of oysters. Everything is meant to be shared, but if the plum tarte is on the menu, order one for yourself. This is a great, convenient spot for an early dinner during the week, or a mid-day meal on the weekends when they’re open for continuous service." - sara lieberman, lindsey tramuta
