Candelaria

Candelaria is a hidden taqueria and cocktail bar in Paris's Marais district, featuring a sultry prohibition-style speakeasy concealed behind an unmarked door at the rear of the restaurant. Awarded Best Cocktail Bar in Europe in 2013, the bar specializes in agave-based spirits and mezcal-forward cocktails, including its signature Guêpe Verte featuring chile-infused tequila, cucumber, cilantro, and lime. The intimate setting pairs creative, expertly executed cocktails priced around 9-15 euros with authentic Mexican cuisine, offering a distinctive sensory experience that fuses culinary and mixological traditions in a clandestine atmosphere.
