zinqué is a beloved neighborhood hotspot & all-day restaurant serving French-inspired dishes, small plates, craft cocktails & a uniquely curated wine selection. Inspired by the zinc countertop bars & cafés of Paris, many of its customers consider it a second home—a place to work, linger & socialize. Open from 7am till late, the space transforms from a European-style bistro & café, serving full breakfast with La Colombe coffee drinks & its famous Le Bowl for lunch, to full service dining at night. Live music, guest DJs, art workshops & wine tastings also make it a favorite community hangout. (zin-kæ)

I made a reservation for 4pm so that my wife and I could see the sunset @ 4:47pm. The view was amazing. Compliments to Chef 👩🏻‍🍳 Kate!! Food was delicious and unique, everything had its own twist as far as sauces, spices, and garnishes. It was our 24th anniversary and our first time visiting this restaurant. We live about an hour and a half away, but it was so worth the trip!!

Zinque is settling in to be a fine spot for breakfast, linch, or dinner. The food is very tasty and varied. The staff is nice and competent. The venue is interesting and offers different atmospheres in different areas. I didn’t think I’d like it when it opened but it is getting to be our go-to place in town. Love the burgers especially!
