A French-Italian spot with American touches, Zé Café comes from a husband-and-wife florist team who moved their flower shop around the corner and transformed the old space—a converted carriage house—into an earthy, elegant dining room filled with reclaimed wood dating back to the 1800s. Dig in to dishes like coq au Riesling with mustard seed spaetzle and a "vegetable burger" with shallot gastrique and aged Gruyere. (The owners even uses eggs from their upstate farm in the omelets here.) Natch, flora is overriding them here, from the bouquet arrangements to the wall paintings, the blossoms in the soup to the wine's floral notes.
