It being a renovated villa that reeks of originality and variety, Zinc is perhaps the restaurant-bar that is Lebanon most incarnated.

You have to be gutsy enough to experiment with sizzling fresh squeezes and mixes because they’re regularly featured here. You’ll also get to dip your fingers in a positively offbeat combination of cuisine.

If you’ve just about had it with Chinese noodles, indulge your taste buds in a French dish. The subs and sandwiches menu practically screams diversity out at you too. And you can always opt for something else, say a helping of a Lebanese Baba Ghanouj.

Zinc embraces conscious eaters with an assortment of salads, and nacho lovers have found themselves a new haven – the appetizers menu raises the roof too – even if you’re grooving on the terrace.

Before you lose your senses in this aura of oddities, melt some sugar sands in your mouth by picking any of the sweet gateau offerings that Zinc places at your service.

It’s this little bit of everything that makes this place stand out and quickly making you an addicted regular in the process.
