Dining room at Café Boulud, New York, NYAn established clientele of regulars---some that stop in twice in one day---frequents this darling upscale café from Daniel Boulud. Chef Gavin Kaysen brings a dynamic presence to the kitchen, where he deftly executes creative, sophisticated cuisine based on a French foundation with global influences. Organized in four sections, the tour de force menu features "La Tradition" (classic French dishes), "La Saison" (seasonal plates), "Le Potager" (inspirations from the farmers' markets) and "Le Voyage" (specialties from around the world). Ahi tuna carpaccio might be served a la Niçoise with haricots verts, yellow wax beans, olives, fried quail egg and tonnato sauce. Entrées include the popular butter poached Dover sole as well as seared veal loin and braised cheek with roasted salsify, sweet potato, Brussels sprouts and mustard fruit jus. End your meal with the hazelnut gateaux with gianduja chocolate mousse, caramel fondant, praline feuilletine and vanilla Hojicha tea ice cream. Sommelier Emanuel Moosbrugger oversees the wine list, which includes a section of bottles under $60 for price-conscious diners, while mixologist Cameron Bogue offers inventive cocktails in the adjacent Bar Pleiades, which is also managed by Boulud.
