Flora Bar and Coffee

Ignacio Mattos and Thomas Carter—responsible for the stellar Estela, where the Obamas dined during a 2014 visit to New York City—are behind Flora, a fine-dining restaurant and café at the Met Breuer, the contemporary art museum that is the newest addition to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Flora Bar offers a small-plates menu with dishes like osetra caviar with crème fraîche and rye crackers and lobster-and-crab dumplings in a yuzu broth. Flora Coffee serves a selection of pastries, salads and sandwiches. The café’s sticky buns were recently named a contender for best in the City by the New York Times.
