Bistrot Zinc

"Wonderfully unintimidating", this "high-energy" Gold Coast boîte featuring front windows that open on a warm day and a "beautiful" zinc bar is "like being in Paris" with its "authentic" French "comfort food" and "true bistro feel"; "friendly" servers contribute to the "warm, cozy neighborhood vibe", and prices are "modest", so though "nothing exciting", it's "reliable" for a "bit of Rive...

Bistrot Zinc Restaurant Review

Romantic, comfortable and très bistro in feel --- from the snappy tile floor to the zinc bar and café tables --- this place toes the line without so much as a waiver. The French onion soup is quite good, as are the herbaceous mussels and the comforting roasted chicken. And the bouillabaisse, when available? It’s one of the better versions you'll come across. Lunch brings on more classics --- a...

Bistro Zinc's bright red, trolley-car-esque facade is hard to miss. So much the better for the shopping wanderer who stops into this modestly priced bistro. Beyond the large, open-air windows in front, a cozy atmosphere awaits with hanging lanterns, white tablecloths and servers distinctly un-Parisian in attitude. Start with classic French onion soup and move to a smoked ham and gruyere cheese...

My friend and I went there specifically for restaurant week and his enjoyment of French food. I ordered the Salmon and Scallops Terrine as my appetizer and was very disappointed. It smelled and tasted like outdated fish. We both ordered the Steak Frites and was surprised to actually have french fries as the side dish. We believed the restaurant was going to be "fancier" than it was in person.
