Celestine

Celestine opened in the fall of 2017, making it quite the tease for New Yorkers who had to wait all winter to finally enjoy the grandeur of its riverside patio. Tucked under the Manhattan Bridge in DUMBO, Celestine mixes Northern Africa, the Mediterranean coastline, and the Middle East into its delightful cuisine, which includes Lebanese lamb tartare, morel risotto and an entree of roasted beets with green tahini, goat cheese, watercress and bulgur cake. Former L'Artusi restaurateur Joe Campanale curated the warm weather-worthy wine list, complete with a smattering of rose and orange wines, in addition to a healthy collection of sparkling from Italy, Spain and France.
