Le Mary Céleste

Top choice in Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville


Snag a stool at the central circular bar at this eternally fashionable, brick-and-timber-floored cocktail bar or reserve one of a handful of tables online. Innovative cocktails mix weird and wonderful ingredients (curry leaves, green cardamom, dried Iranian lemon, turmeric syrup), often seasonal, and there are lovely natural wines too – all perfect partners to tapas-style 'small plates' (grilled duck hearts, devilled eggs) to share.
