About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines

Zinc is a lively three level bistro in Historic Nob Hill. Featuring an open, urban ambiance, Zinc offers casual fine dining on the main level and the loft mezzanine. For those looking for an exciting show, the exhibition bar offers seats right along the open kitchen. The menu focuses on high quality - yet affordable - American bistro fare and utilizes seasonal ingredients, many of which are sourced from local farmers. The Cellar Bar offers the same extensive wine list and premium cocktails as the upstairs, but in a more intimate lounge atmosphere with a lighter menu.

    We have always loved Zinc. It has been our go to spot for special occasions or just a nice dinner out. This particular time there were six of us and it was really to say farewell to Zinc. Everything was wonderful as always. We’re very sad that Zinc will no longer be part of our local restaurant scene, but we will continue to patronize the other restaurants the family owns in Albuquerque. Savoy and Seasons

    So sorry to see Zinc close after all these years. We'll be sure to 'visit' our favorite Duck Confit Egg Rolls as well as the Smoked Trout on potato pancake appetizers at the sister restaurants in Albuquerque (Seasons Grill & Rotisserie in Old Town and Savoy in the NE Heights).

    Sadly, this is probably my last time visiting this wonderful neighborhood restaurant as they will be closing at the end of the month. I have had many, many wonderful meals at Zinc.

    Zinc offers creative, well-prepared entrees, as well as very good desserts. I had lamb loin, prepared rare, as requested. Ample portion with a chard-cannelloni bean vege and a feta-olive tart rounding out the entrée. My wife had a grilled cauliflower steak with oyster mushrooms that she said was very good. We split a salad and finished with a chocolate mousse cake for dessert. Zinc has a very good wine list. Service was very good, as well. Only criticism is the noise level, which can be a bit excessive.

    Had to go one last time before they closed. This has been one of my favorite places to have an enjoyable meal and a good night out and it didn’t disappoint! Wishing the ownership and staff of Zinc the best!
