Is Enrique Olvera the Latin version of Rene Redzepi, the forward-thinking Danish chef? We think so. His New York City outpost, Cosme, which he opened not long ago in the Flatiron district, was chosen by Pete Wells of the New York Times as his top restaurant of 2015. We like the moody, minimalist interiors, too, designed by Mexico City–based architect Alonso de Garay and interior designer Micaela De Bernardi of ADG.
