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.

okay I know its been awhile...but it's time to start reviewing something new! And why not head to…read moreFrance to carry out this plan??? 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.

Wow what an nice place. You can get your own table or…read moreshare it with others. The waitress comes up to you with the chalkboard wines and another well with cheese. And get to pick and choose and enjoy the amazing ambience inside it actually looks like a cave/library with bottles and corks. Well done.

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.

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. A favourite with ex-pats and locals this is a must visit for any visit to Cham.

This is a fun and more of a trendy bar/club compare to most sport bars in the village…read more Even tough my male friends thought it was too few girls here, I would say it was a good crowd. 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!

So happy we found this place! They have numerous wines on tap for you to try. The gentleman working…read morewas very sweet and helpful. I know jack smack about French wines but enjoyed speaking with him to learn anything I could. He gave us a card to account for our tab. You insert the card and select what size pour you'd like. I almost tried them all but we wanted to get back to our riverboat in time for lunch. I would of gone back again if we stayed in town longer. If you enjoy wine or want to try locals wines from Macon then I recommend visiting. Besides having local wines they have others throughout France and I even spotted canvasback from Washington state, USA! my favorites were the chardonnays and I thought I hated Chardonnay! We bought 5 bottles to carry back home to Florida with us. Of course we had to get Pouilly fuisse! Enjoy!!
