Candide strikes that stability marvelously: a small plates restaurant that appears like a restaurant, from the professional service to the pleasant, artistic dishes. The small eating room nonetheless feels comparatively spacious, due to the space between tables and the light-colored partitions in distinction with the darkish, wood-hewn tables. A stunning checklist of pure wines accompanies plant- and seafood-driven dishes, like meltingly tender accras paired with black garlic mayo, binchotan-charred broccoli seasoned with lemon and anchovy and cloaked in a pile of grated Parmesan, or the so-weird-it-works marriage of asparagus and peanut praline. This is a wonderful choice for a Monday night time.
