Wine selection is very interesting and changes every two or three weeks. Features both Swiss and non Swiss wines, beer, and one champagne. Good selection of meats and cheeses too. Very cool little wine bar to visit after a long days work!

For us, the ambiance of this little wine bar was really it's draw. Though their wine selection was…read morethorough, and the assiette de fromage looked very appealing (the kitchen closed before we could confirm our cheese plate theories), it was really the eclectic, artistic, comfortable aesthetic that won us over. I realize that's maybe not how we're meant to make restaurant-going decisions, alas. The service and wine were also as welcoming as the decor.

Le Zinc is a wonderful wine bar, located on a little tiny street behind the Marche. watching the cars navigate around this street was theater enough for me but... The wines served here are superb. Natural vinification is the norm for everything they pour, and so expect to drink wines from regions you may know, but makers you may not know (unless you frequent Chambers Street Wines, but even so they can't possibly cover the entire gamut!). The wine is great, the space is amazing, the food helps remind you that le diner should come sooner rather than later...and eventually you push off into the twilight, in search of dinner. Enjoy it; it is a great place to sample the finest wines that France has to offer.

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel in Lyon. It is tucked into an alley between busy…read morestreets, but there are signs from both sides. The atmosphere was calm and quiet, compared to the hustle and bustle outside. The staff spoke limited English, and the menu was French. The lunch set menu was very reasonable and had good options. Everything was very well seasoned, cooked well, and enjoyable. They also had a large variety of wines available. We would come back again.

You can either cross the busy road or take the steps down from the parking area to the tunnel under the road. You can either sample your choice of wines by the glass from the wine list or you can buy a sampler package and they choose the wines. We had the Chasellas package which included 3 whites and the Discovery which included 3 whites and the Plant Robert (only place this grape is planted) red. You can either get each wine one at a time or all at once. There is also a movie about the wine which is shown in English and French. The guy who worked there was very friendly and knowledgeable without being "wine snobby."
