ZINC

Top choice in New Haven


Whenever possible, this trendy bistro's ingredients hail from local organic sources, but the chef draws inspiration from all over, notably Asia and the Southwest. There's a constantly changing 'market menu,' but for the most rewarding experience, share several small plates, such as smoked duck nachos or prosciutto Americano crostini. Reservations are advised.
