Zinque - West Hollywood

This restaurant offers good coffee, a friendly atmosphere, warm service, and tasty food. While the menu isn't particularly adventurous, the dishes are enjoyable, especially for a light dinner. The garlic prawns were the highlight of our meal (though if you're on a date, you might want to either both order them or avoid them altogether). It's not a place I can enthusiastically recommend, but I also have no complaints.

The chicken sandwich is consistently good—not amazing, but if you’re looking for a quick lunch, I'd recommend it. It's a lovely spot to relax in the shade outdoors, enjoy some coffee, and unwind. I’ll definitely be back!

In addition to our Pig/Zinque-themed drinks, we enjoyed a Banh Mi that featured sliced hard-boiled egg, avocado, pickled carrots, and a mayo/Sriracha spread, all served on Poilane bread shipped directly from Paris! They also offer more vegetarian options, such as the Tomato, Avocado, and Comté on toast.

The old Nishimura space across the street from Pacific Design Center was always closed off by a tall wooden gate. Now it has turned into Zinque Cafe and Wine Bar and the gate gave way to a charming outdoor dining area, complete with a fireplace. The food menu is small, but we tried some good things here, starting with the Cheese Plate $16) which included comte, blue cheese, and epoisses Though you don't get to choose the cheeses, they're all good and come with fun accompaniments. Now, the server might tell you the one at the end is brie, but I was told Zinque is one of the few places in town that serves Epoisses. Instead of brie, we had a slice of the wonderfully stinky epoisses, even better with the honeycomb. If you want a more substantial but still light meal, I recommend Le Bowl brown rice, avocado, tomato, arugula, aged comte, parmesan, sriracha, cilantro $17 with ahi tuna) Almost very healthy except for the cubes of comte, the tuna was perfect on this rice bowl. I can easily s

Perfect spot for a casual dinner or brunch. Great outdoor area with heaters. Happy hour menu includes the best Sangria in town. Le bowl with salmon is my go to for a healthy and tasty meal.
