About us

 

The Concept

Zinc Bistro is a 4000 sq ft New York style parisian bistro located in the heart of Kierland Commons. The restaurant is designed with contemporary sensibilities, yet returns the nostalgic ambiance of an authentic Parisian bistro. Round marble bistro tables and wicker chairs spill out onto the sidewalk, offering a kind of people watching one might indulge in along Boulevard Saint-Germain. Zinc Bistro also offer a romantic garden patio (pictured below) secluded deep in the restaurant, lit by candles during the evening, creating an unforgettable ambiance, or a relaxing atmosphere near the fountain in the afternoon.
