"This sunny French bistro on Melrose doesn’t serve the best lunch in West Hollywood. It’s not even the best lunch on the block. But if you need to spiral with a friend over a bottle of white wine on a Wednesday afternoon, Zinqué is heaven. It’s walk-in only, there’s plenty of shade, and the various tartines and rice bowls do what they’re supposed to: fill you up so you can drink more wine. If you’re not near Weho, there are five more locations around town from Malibu to Downtown, but this remains Zinqué’s spiritual epicenter." - brant cox
