Trusted reviews

  • Barbra Austin (2010) “…a meal here is just as memorable as one served by its sophisticated sibling.”
  • Le Figaro (2010) “Dans ce cadre mimi tout plein, une ardoise qui s’acoquine aux meilleurs produits…”
  • Phyllis Flick (2009) “It’s too bad that every neighbourhood doesn’t have a restaurant like Jean Marc Notelet’s recently-opened, pocket-sized bistro, Zinc Caius.”
  • John Talbott (2009) “…two of us had the slab of beef (entrecote) which…was terrific, and a tartare of beef with polenta frites (warning to all the ships at sea – me, the great mashed potato ignoramus and polenta hater, loved both such versions here.)”
  • Caroline Mignot (2009) “L’ardoise est blanchie de 2, 3 entrées, à peine plus de plats et de quelques desserts, tout fait envie, tout est piqué de gourmandise.”
  • Le Fooding “Où déjeuner un samedi à 14 heures du côté de l’Etoile ? Au Zinc Caïus pardi!”
