Zinqué

"Stopping by the French Market Cafe is like a Parisian mini-vacation... and not just in your mouth! No doubt you'll hear more French than English while you dine on what is undeniably the best patio in town. Inside is also packed with authentic French provisions. Don't expect a smile from the lady who's been working the counter for years, just order your coffee and Le Cheval sandwich, sit down and enjoy this little slice of Europe in California." - The Branding Farm

"Zinqué has several locations around town and they’re all open. That means the days of drinking too much rosé on their expanded patio - which now takes up most of the parking lot - snacking on tartines and their famous “Le Bowl,” and stumbling home on a Saturday night have returned. Hooray." - brett keating, james montgomery

"Zinque opened in 2012, giving off big French cafe vibes until it outgrew its original location and moved to a larger space on Lincoln." - Paolo Bicchieri

"Not to be confused with the desperate actor-filled Weho location, Zinque in Venice is a low-key spot on Abbot Kinney with decent food and a surprising lack of tourists (maybe they’re afraid to cross Venice Blvd.). It’s big, so you can sit at a high-top all day with your sprawled out architecture blueprints for your very-theoretical dream house on the Venice Canals. Alternate between cups of coffee and glasses of rosé while you decide if your roof deck should be on the second or third floor." - brett keating

"The best way to describe your literary agent is  “he’s been at it for quite a while.” Gary might be pretty over it at this point, but it’s been a solid year of work for you, and it’s time to treat Gary to a thank-you lunch. Zinque is a mostly outdoor wine bar in West Hollywood, and while the food is hit or miss, the chaotic crowd and their questionable hat choices will at least give you something to stare at. And you’ll need that as Gary grumbles under his breath about “kids these days” the whole time." - Brant Cox
