Candelaria

The Best Cocktail Bars in Paris

"Since opening in 2011 in the Marais, La Candelaria has established itself as a benchmark in the world of cocktails in Paris and beyond. To enter the bar proper, you go behind the taqueria, which serves tacos and quesadillas, and through a side door into an inviting space with white stone walls and low lighting, where an extensive collection of spirits is displayed behind a large bar. All the house classics are there for the drinking, from the Guêpe Verte ('Green Wasp') – tequila with chilli, cucumber and coriander – to the Spano – pisco with elderflower and fermented grapes. Don't hesitate to order one of the menu's mocktails, which are particularly convincing." - The MICHELIN Guide
