Why You’ll Love It
- Named one of Washingtonian’s 100 Very Best Restaurants in 2012
- Mussels, tartare, escargot, and more
- Hand-crafted champagne cocktails
Steaming mussels in tomato-leek fondue. Ribeye steak and savory sweetbreads. One of Washingtonian’s 100 Very Best Restaurants in DC for 2012, Bistrot Le Zinc strives to bring the best of France to you.
As simple as salmon with gala apple. As gourmet as escargot in bordelaise. You might warm up with french onion soup or delight in cointreau crème brûlée. And if you sit upstairs, you can even watch the chefs create your dish in the open-view kitchen.
