Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

All things considered, we decided this recipe deserves a spoonacular score of 50%. This score is solid. Users who liked this recipe also liked Mussels A La Mariniere (steamed Mussels), Sole Meunière, and Catfish Meunière.

Riesling, rosé Wine, and Muscadet are my top picks for Mussels. Muscadet is a classic pairing, but many crisp dry whites will work. If the mussels are cooked with tomatoes, opt for a rosé. If the mussels are on the spicy side, try Riesling. You could try Ste Chapelle Special Harvest Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 15 dollars per bottle.

Ste Chapelle Special Harvest Riesling

Aromas of fresh sliced peaches, apricots and citrus give way to flavors of honey, peaches, and orange peel. The wine is sweet but well balanced with crisp acidity and a long finish of honey anf fruit.
