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.

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.

Come here on a Saturday night and you have one of the liveliest nightspots in town - table service and free flowing shots with the ever present French techno playing.

People say it can be hard to get in so it might be a good idea to come on the earlier side if you really don't want to miss it. They have a DJ and a small dance floor, and an additional bar upstairs. I remember thinking the music was ok, at least after a couple of Hendric's... This place is worth checking out if you are out in Chamonix, however, I'm not sure it's worth it if you have to pay to get in. The regular sport bars may be fun enough!
