ZINC opened its doors in 2007 and has since earned the acclaims of savvy gourmet experts in Philadelphia and more recently obtained 26 from ZAGAT (2013). This French Bistro is nothing short of a “Le Marais” style bar & restaurant; serving Cuisine Bourgeoise in the tradition of the upscale neighborhoods of Paris. Desaintmartin acquired a 1919-era zinc bar from a Parisian bistro, refinished it, and shipped it to our cozy 40 seat bar & restaurant, adding to the authentic experience.
Acclaimed for its food, romance and its specialty drinks, Zinc is, in the tradition of Le Marais, a hang out for locals, a place for friends. Come share a charcuterie plate or a fresh oysters and a glass of Chinon, or sit at the bar sipping a French aperitif while waiting for your party.
ZINC offers a quaint restaurant atmosphere off the beaten path, and brings the authentic touches of the "Bobos" of Paris to the Midtown Village.
