Le Mary Celeste is a enterprise from the folks behind Candelaria. Accordingly, there’s a stable cocktail program and an exquisite inside, plus a collection of glorious small plates that’s so significantly better than it must be. In the identical spirit as Paris’ Au Passage or Copenhagen’s Fiskebar – this can be a place the place Critical Meals is being transmitted by a small plates medium to unshaven folks in skinny denims.
There’s additionally a respect for greens right here that one doesn’t typically discover in Paris. Whereas we had been tempted by the poitrine de veau (veal breast) with coconut milk or the pintade (guineau hen) with tare sauce, we surrendered as a substitute to a vegetarian dish with two sorts of cabbage, black beans and a roasted carrot that was so deeply savory it may have been meat. The 2 dishes I’ll return for are additionally meat-free: steamed oysters with chili, black vinegar, and crispy shallots, plus endives with tamarind and mint. Tamarind additionally flavors a chocolate creme dessert with Maldon salt. When’s the final time anybody noticed tamarind in Paris?
