Another excellent meal. Delivery: well wrapped and arrived within 30 minutes. Food: unreal. The salmon with yogurt sauce was perfectly cooked and delicious. The seasoning salt and char on the broccolini was great too. Would eat that meal every week for the next year if I could. Price: on the pricier side but the quality matches the elevated price read more

The cocktails were extremely disappointing. They were poorly made, sloppy, and tasted more like cheap drinks thrown together at a frat house than cocktails from a professional bar. For the prices they're charging, I expected much better quality, balance, and attention to detail. Unfortunately, the drinks fell far short of expectations and were nowhere near worth the price. Definitely overpriced for what you get. read more

Zinqué in Venice has a cool, trendy atmosphere - and I have to give them credit for making parking very easy, particularly in this part of town. I ordered the steak frites and broccoli soup, and my wife had the salmon and coconut chia pudding. The food was good overall (and the best was the steak frites of everything we ordered). The steak was pretty tender and I did like the pepper sauce. We also ordered an olive oil cake to go. However, I didn't get fully "wowed" by any of what we ordered, if I'm honest. At the price point the average plate sits at here, I was expecting to really fall in love (and we also expected bigger portions of basically everything than we got, too). The broccoli soup, in particular, felt like a side portion, but cost like 15 dollars, which didn't feel anywhere near worth it. My wife felt the same way about the salmon. The service was friendly and perfectly fine, and I did really like the vibe of the place. The coffee shop and small grocery market in the front give it a fun neighborhood feel and make the space a little more interesting than your typical restaurant. We really liked that part! Overall, I'm glad we checked it out. It's a nice spot with a great atmosphere, but for the food and portion sizes, there are probably other places in Venice I'd visit before returning. read more

This restaurant has a cool vibe, and the parking situation was super easy, which is always a win! As for the food... it was okay, but honestly, nothing to write home about. I ordered the salmon and coconut chia pudding, while my husband went with the steak frites and broccoli soup. The salmon and especially the soup portions were surprisingly small, we definitely left wishing there was a little more on the plate. The service was decent and friendly, but nothing extraordinary. One thing I really liked was that they have a cute coffee shop and grocery store right in the front, which gives the whole place a pretty cool vibe. Overall, I'm glad we tried it, but I don't think I'll be rushing back anytime soon. Maybe after a while... but for now, there are plenty of other places on our list to try! read more

Best things: awesome staff, good food and beautiful interior. Wish there was much less of a presence of the laptop army. So many, it's wild. Almost every table inside and the entire bar, such weird times. Oh well, we sat on the pretty outside patio and enjoyed ourselves. The food was good. Enjoyed Le Bowl with frittata. Loved chatting with the charming staff. It's a beautiful restaurant. read more

My first time at this location. I've always loved Zinqué for a quick lunch or dinner but hadn't been to the Venice one yet and it's honestly so good. The staff make it feel like home the second you walk in, like they're addressing you by name immediately. Special shoutout to Steven for the baklava latte and horjita latte... so delicious, not too sweet, just really flavorful. And Nick was so quick with my to-go order which I appreciated. I ordered my usual wagyu burger with the thin crispy fries and their aioli and it was as good as always. They also have a huge market section with a bunch of international goodies and sweets which I love browsing. The ambiance is kind of perfect. There's greenery everywhere and it feels like an intimate but still spacious bar/lounge even in the middle of the day definitely coming back soon read more

A really cool spot, with amazing ambiance, gorgeous modern design, awesome patio seating with an oversized contemporary fireplace and the food is pretty amazing. I've tried their burrata square pizza as well as the zucchini square pizza. Both were absolutely delicious. They were served heated up and were crunchy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. You could tell that both the burrata and the zucchini ingredients were very fresh and very tasty. As amazing as this place is, the service could use some improvement. At least a few times, including today, young ladies taking my order at the register, acted like they were doing me a favor, taking my order with a cold look. Other than this, I really enjoyed Zinque today and it was great to reconnect with an old friend. read more

Cute place for brunch with the ladies with ok food and abrupt service. Compared to other brunch spots in the area, there's a great private parking lot in the back. Nice that there's plenty of free parking. The restaurant is pretty with lots of nice natural lighting. There's options for indoor and outdoor seating. We came on a Saturday at 11am and there was plenty of tables available. The 3 of us all ordered different lattes. We were surprised to see that 2 of the lattes came out hot and one was iced. That was interesting because we realize we were not asked if we wanted them hot or cold and the menu didn't specify. However, we each enjoyed the lattes we got. I had the mussels and fries dish. The muscles didn't have much flavor... just a sauce that's creamy. I would not recommend the muscles dish. The fries were cooked to perfection though. My friends enjoyed the crispy sunny eggs and the wagyu burger with fries. While we were chatting, the server came with the point of sale terminal machine and asked us to pay. It was quite abrupt because we had not asked for the bill and we were not show the itemized bill but just verbally told the total. While we paid by credit card, the server hovered and looked very closely to see what tip we'd select. When I went to the restroom, there was another staff member tailgating me because he wanted to use the restroom too. And as we walked out, a different server was also in a rush and accidentally brushed up against my while he walked by. The experience I had with multiple staff members wasn't friendly. read more

The food was delicious. I'll give them that. But I left my lunch today feeling very unsatisfied both with the service and the experience. First, for lunch you have to order through an app and they deliver food to your table. The bus boy brought out an incorrect order and walked away so fast we didn't even get the chance to tell him it was wrong. I had to walk up to the front counter to see if they could help us correct it which normally wouldn't bother me except in this case when you use the app the automatic default is set to include a 23% tip. Seriously... it feels quite high considering a lack of service. Second, and my biggest issue was that what I ordered is not what I received. Clearly as you'll see by the photograph there appears to be 3-4 donuts for $13. We only received two. Naturally I inquired because there were three of us at the table and we all thought we would each get one. The manager came over and told me that they used to have three donuts and now they only have two per order. I thought that was strange so I asked him why they didn't update the photograph to reflect what people are actually going to receive. He said "because we want it to look good in the picture." False advertising on purpose... He then asked me if I wanted to purchase a second order of donuts to cover everyone at the table. You've got to be kidding me! read more

Zinqué - Beignets - be prepared to get less than what's pictured. - French Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Zinque is right next door to the theatre and the best place to come in for a drink and dinner prior to a show. We ordered the side of fries, side salad, and roasted chicken. Oh my. Tender chicken, salad dressed perfectly, not downing. Their cocktails are refreshing. 4 cocktails, side of fries + roasted chicken was split between two people + a new friend at the bar with tons of leftovers. The portion is generous, and shareable. Service was quick, establishment was clean, and the experience was memorable. read more

First time at this Zinque location after visiting others, and it did not disappoint. We had to quickly pivot for a group dinner of ten when our original spot fell through... called Zinque, they were happy to accommodate, and we were seated within minutes. Clutch! We sat outside on the patio, which is lovely. Fair warning: it IS outdoors. As in, nature-outdoors. A cricket made a cameo on the wall behind us. Totally fine, just good to know! The vibe is lively and buzzy, which is great, though a little noisy for a group of ten that actually wanted to catch up with each other. Service was so-so. Our server checked in occasionally, but when we actually wanted to order another round of drinks, he was nowhere to be found and had to do some significant amount of watching to find him and get his attention. One thing that worked really well: he took orders by seat, which made checkout shockingly painless. Scan the QR code at the table, select your seat, and all your items are right there. Splitting ten ways was easy. Note: if you're paying via Inkind, you can't split by seat but you can enter your specific amount. Food: * LeBowl: My order and I'm absolutely coming back for this. Grains, veggies, and a surprisingly generous portion of chicken on top. Hearty, fresh, and satisfying. * Hummus appetizer: We got two for the table. The menu says it comes with focaccia... the bread was oiled and toasted and delicious, but I wouldn't call it focaccia. No complaints though! * Wine: Picked one blind off the menu, enjoyed it. Easy win. It is a little pricey... but maybe that's just Los Angeles these days. Parking: There is a big lot in the back. I somehow did not know this and parked a block away. At least I got a little post-dinner stroll in! read more

Was great to check out this location! It's really nice to be able to sit outside in a spacious open patio and not have the sun beating down on you. We made it just in time before happy hour was ending. I got a Sauvignon blanc, burrata mini pizza, fries and olives. All was very tasty. Parking was easy too which is always a plus. Staff was great and attentive as well. I definitely want to come back and try more items! read more

Zinqué is one of the most reliable and well-balanced spots in Santa Monica for a casual but elevated café and wine bar experience. The atmosphere is what immediately stands out. It has a relaxed, European feel with a clean, open layout that works just as well for a morning coffee as it does for an evening glass of wine. It is comfortable, social, and easy to spend a few hours in without feeling rushed. The food is consistently good and well executed. The menu leans toward simple, French-inspired dishes done right rather than anything overly complex. Everything feels fresh, well portioned, and thoughtfully prepared. It is the kind of place where you can order a few items to share and know they will all be solid. The drink selection is another strong point. The wine list is approachable but well curated, and the coffee program holds up for daytime visits. It transitions seamlessly from café to wine bar, which is part of what makes it so versatile. Service is efficient and low-pressure, which fits the overall concept perfectly. Overall, Zinqué is not about being flashy. It is about consistency, atmosphere, and quality across the board. A great go-to spot whether you are meeting friends, working during the day, or having a relaxed dinner. read more

Heck of a place if you want to to work on a laptop, nursing a coffee for hours while people wait for a table. Amazing if you want to pay 30$/person simply to then pay for a meal later. Charging people to watch a WC game and not even putting that towards the food? Jesus that's greedy. The food is fine. The pastries are fine. The coffee is decent. The vibe, when not nickel and dimed, pretty good. My god, this place sums up Venice perfectly. read more

Whites dry friend chicken sandwich? You WON'T get it here! I have had many fried chicken sandwiches in my life, but hands down, Zinqué has the best I have had. The chicken wasn't moist, and crispy at the same time. It's inside towards the back of a Cote in Venice. Beautiful French bakery, deli. The restaurant is very cozy and huge and nice patio space. The waiter, Steven was very nice and gave great recommendations. I even met the owner, Mark. He was kind into hear me out about an idea I have. Definitely going back.! read more

As always, everything was great, food was delicious and we truly enjoyed our visit. However, this time we experienced a longer wait--about 15-25 minutes--before anyone approached us to take our order. While it's nice to see a friendly and relaxed atmosphere among the staff, it did feel like guests were being overlooked during that time. Overall, we're still satisfied and appreciate the experience, but we hope service attentiveness can be improved moving forward. read more

I'll always have. A soft-spot for zinque as it's the meal of choice sfter the Los Angeles marathon. Well, now the race no longer ends in Santa Monica. It's rather in century city . I enjoyed the steak and frites for what it is. In a larger party of six, I ordered the wagyu burger with fries. The wagyu burger was juicy. But it was just fine and lacked a little flavor. The cucumbers however, do not work, and I'd highly recommend they end that tradition immediately . The fries were okay as well. But where's the salt ? 3/5 read more

We visited for brunch on a damp, rainy weekday after ballet barre class. This is a really fun, relaxing space, with lots of tables, inside and outside, and lots of people with laptops doing some kind of remote work. I liked being able to order online, pay online using Apple Pay, and get it delivered to the table. My friend and I were able to easily order and pay for breakfast individually. You can also order items for there or to go from a cashier at the front of the restaurant, inside the little store. The food and coffee are great, but the portions are a bit small. My Americano coffee was served in a cup only about 80% full, and the salmon toast was small for the price ($19). Good for my diet, but I was still hungry when I left. My friend ordered a latte (full cup) and the Homemade Granola with Yogurt, Fruit Compote and Fresh Fruit, also a larger serving. (I have a dairy allergy, so I couldn't order the yogurt, which looked great). All in all, we had a nice time, and we will be back. I liked the chill, relaxing vibe, and the menu items are quite good. read more

Came post world cup loss for Bastille Day celebration. They were "short a bartender " but our waiter was entirely unconcerned about the 30 minutes that passed between drink order and delivery. A kinder waitress comped us a round each but I DEPLORE lazy service af high prices. A waiter should check in within a 30 minute time frame between order and delivery. Food and ambience all excellent but getting frustrated with L.A. wait staff that just don't seem concerned or interested in service. read more

One of my fave spots in Venice. Great vibe, service and delicious food. Also a nice looking crowd (yes, I'm very superficial like that ;)

Food was good. Service for drinks could've been better. One complaint is being charged 6.50 for a single glass of club soda. That's certainly a choice by the restaurant... there is fine dining that will offer a bottle of pelegrino, etc for around that price. read more

Great variety. Tasty and excellent entrees. Clearly a place to remember and to revisit.

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner this week and absolutely loved it!! I had heard of Zinqué before and am glad to have discovered this location in Venice. I got there a bit early and was immediately greeted by the host who asked if I preferred to sit at at the bar or the reserved dinner table. While waiting for the rest of my party at the outdoor dinner table, the staff checked in a few times. It was nice to have the outdoor heaters as it can get chilly there in the evenings. Loved both the indoor and outdoor decor/ambiance (there's also a fireplace outside). That night, I ordered a medium rare Steak (with peppercorn sauce) - Frites which is a classic dish from back home in France. It was perfectly cooked. Delicious. A friend and I ordered the La Française cocktail (vodka, St Germain, passionfruit & lime) and we both enjoyed our drinks. The menu is extensive and offers various options at a reasonable price (not easy to find for a French restaurant in the greater LA area!). Plenty of parking in the lot. Would undoubtedly be back to this location and feeling curious about their other locations (WeHo, Century City, Malibu, Newport are a few) as well now!! read more

This place is so cute inside and perfect for breakfast or just a nice cup of coffee. The ambiance is immediately calming once you walk in. I ordered the baklava latte and it was absolutely perfect! I was at first intimidated by all the flavors inside listed, but it is perfectly balanced and not too sweet. I really enjoyed my pesto, pepper, Prosciutto, sandwich. The fries are skinny and perfectly cooked. Service was kind. I will definitely be coming back here and recommending to all my friends! read more

Came for happy hour and I have to say that the happy hour deals are pretty solid and it lasts till 6pm which helps for those looking for a drink after work. We ordered a couple cocktails and glasses of wine. They specialize more on the wines but the cocktail "La Francaise" was really refreshing. As for snacks, they have a pick 3 for $23 and you can choose from a lot of options. Got the fries and olives which were standard. Also got the zucchini and goat cheese pizza bites and it was good as well but be warned that it truly is a bite. I mean for this price, makes sense so no fault on them. Overall service was decent, off and on... could be super attentive or mia for a while. Nonetheless, solid spot for drinks and also I hear a great place to work in the daytime before they ask to put away your laptops. read more

This place is a wonderful. The food is, for the most part, superb quality and mostly reasonably priced considering it's in Venice.. They make authentic French ham and cheese with butter on a baguette, the Salmon plate with wild rice and ratatouille and yogurt sauce is it never gets old. My one complaint is for some reason whenever I ordered the prosciutto, mozzarella and tomato sandwich (cold or panini style), literally 80+% of the time Postmates would deliver it without prosciutto. It kept happening so I stopped ordering it altogether. Couple more things: Ample free parking in back. You can dine inside or outside on the back patio - it's one of the larger dining spaces I've ever seen. They have a very nice store where you can get coffee, fresh gourmet deli items, as well as a store/shop that sells wine, clothing, kitchen/cooking items, and more. There's two locations, btw, but I've only been to this one. read more
