In Paris, it can be hard to find a restaurant that’s open until 11 P.M. Or seven days a week. Or a place where you can have a few perfectly executed snacks and a glass of wine and be on your way. It’s all possible at Yves Camdeborde’s profoundly casual wine bar, where stools and high tables line the corner of the Marché Saint-Germain, inside and out. The extensive chalkboard menu can overwhelm. Keep in mind Camdeborde’s dedication to artisanal pork products and exceptional seafood (especially raw), and you can’t go wrong. —Christine Muhlke
