A Little French Inspiration


It's been about a week ago already but before Christmas I did a little shopping with my friend Glenda in north Scottsdale at a place called Kierlin Commons.  It's a wonderful little shopping area but, I think my favorite place there is this restaurant.  It's called Zinc Bistro.  If you read my travel blog you might remember that my favorite restaurant in Chicago when I worked there was a place called Bistro Zinc and this place brings back all those memories.  It has a similar atmosphere and a decidedly French menu.


I had the steak frites for lunch and it was delicious!


Just like Bistro Zinc in Chicago, Zinc Bistro has the traditional zinc bar where you can order up a drink, or maybe a glass of sparkling champagne.   I can come here and feel close to both Chicago and Paris all in one visit.

  2. Very cool place. I would love it. I kinda figured there was something French about it what with that Eiffel Tower replica! :) Excellent photos, too!
