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.

Service was over and above expectations. Really nice, hip space. We ate outdoors so were happy to have the lower noise level than usual in an LA restaurant -- because I actually wanted to talk to my table-mates. (I heard the restaurant might have a DJ sometimes, so check first so that you don't accidentally come on a night with music blaring.) The food was excellent. I would definitely go back. A+

We sat at our table for 15 minutes outdoors before our order was taken. However, the food was delivered just as fast as long as we waited to order it, and it was very good.

We ate at the Santa Monica location. Very good, healthy food and affordable. I wish we had a TFK in Sacramento, or, better yet, Davis, where we live.
