Don't botherMy husband & I went for a romantic dinner. While the location and decor is fabulous, it was our least favorite dinner in our whole trip to France! My meat was tough and grainy. Nothing spectacular about the food considering the price. I would not recommend it.OVERALL

really niceMy girlfriend and i stumbled upon this place. we went back for dinner that night, and had a great time. At first we were worried that we were younger than most in the place, slightly underdressed compared to most inside, and both know very little french. The staff were very nice, made us feel comfortable, and the food was good (not amazing ...1 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEW

it has become a tourist trapAt dinner last fall we were continually pestered to have the house special of the evening. When presented with the bill..our waiter said "sir, a tip is included only if you pay cash....not when using a credit card". We spend 6 months in Paris every year and will never return to what had been one of our favorites, but has become a tourist trap!!!3 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALL

Dont even bother!I waited for one hour and 10 minutes for my first course-the waiter forgot our wine-the main course was cold and tasteless.When we got up after the main course to pay the bill and leave the staff couldnt have cared less. If the food was outstanding it might be worth it but a slice of liver with a dry baked potato really didnt do it for me. I love ...4 of 5 Yahoo!

Excellent and accessable!This is a wonderful place for tourists that is not too touristy. I eat there every time I go to Paris. Food is excellent, although it is not to be confused with one of the top restaurants in the city. The menu is limited to traditional French fare that most visitors are looking for, at least for a meal or two. The food is competently prepared, ...0 of 1 Yahoo!

Nice foodNot a typical bistro, that is it is an elegant restaurant, but really really good food. For desert lovers, they should try the soufflé with a touch of liqueur.0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLServiceFoodAmbienceValue

Avoid it like the plague!First of all we were seated at a table with a stained table cloth which the waitress attempted to hide with a reservation card-not fooled. Secondly the food was of a poor standard, although the beef from the entree menu was average. A huge disappointment was the selection of cheeses-a heap of salad with only three varieties one of which was still ...1 of 3 Yahoo!

Touristy and not in a good wayNormally I like touristy places. There is a reason why places get packed with tourists, they are good. In this case, the place is just OK. There are better places in the same neighborhood for the same price level. The restaurant at L'Hotel and Alcazar are better for example. Petit Zinc was jammed with Americans who obviously don't go ...2 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALL

My favorite eateryI loved this restaurant, the ambience and the food is wonderful. I've been there 3 times and loved the duck in raspberry sauce, it melts in your mouth. Service is a little slow for harried Americans but if you can relax and soak in the atmosphere you will want to go back again and again.1 of 1 Yahoo!

We like it so much, we went twice!Le Petit Zinc was recommended to us by a friend as one of the finest restaurants in Paris without the 4 or 5 star price tag. I ordered the breast of duck with apricot sauce and my husband had the veal. Both were incredible! The wine list is extensive and reasonably priced. We enjoyed the meal so much, we visited again before we left France. We ...5 of 5 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALLServiceFoodAmbienceValue
