Taking its name from a famous “ghost ship” that was discovered near the Straight of Gibraltar in 1872, this oyster bar and small-plates restaurant has a salvage-chic décor that is très Brooklyn (the ultimate praise doled out in Paris these days). Set against exposed brick and vintage record sleeves, the main attraction at Le Mary Celeste is the massive octagonal bar behind which blue-aproned barmen shuck and plate what appears to be an endless supply of oysters. At 6pm, the kitchen begins serving delectable South American- and Asian-inspired tapas such as Chinese crêpes with tender pork and crunchy celery, tangy kimchi, and an endive salad flavored with tamarind. Though the menu features exotic flavors and orders are placed on dim sum-style menu cards, the wine list (by the glass or bottle) is loyal to the local terroir. Open for drinks and dinner daily; lunch onwards on Saturday and Sundays.
