Juste le Zinc, a friendly restaurant in the 8th arrondissement

Tucked away in a little street, far from the hustle and bustle of Boulevard de Clichy, a pretty little terrace beckons. It's that of Juste le Zinc, a friendly French restaurant opened in 2015.

Once you've settled in, you can take a look at the menu, from which you can choose starters, main courses and desserts for the evening. At lunchtime, Juste le Zinc offers menus: €15 main course, €21 starter+main course or main course+dessert and €27 starter+main course+dessert.

But for tonight, it's the slate, which changes daily and is packed with traditional French dishes... but not only!

Starters include foie gras de canard des Landes (14€), roasted king prawn salad with Xeres (12€), cassolette de couteaux en persillade (10€), breaded whelks with aïoli (10€), fabulous poached eggs with an incredible Sauterne onion cream (9€) and avocado with fresh, melting crabmeat (12€) .

When it comes to dishes, there's no shortage of fish and meat options: lobster gratin with penne (28€), pan-fried scallops with saffron risotto (26€), whole roasted sea bream (26€)? Or how about rump steak tataki (22€), guinea fowl leg with cider (22€), Irish Angus beef rib (70€ for two)?

For us, the final choice was a roasted Landes duck breast (22€), perfectly rosé and accompanied by a gourmet potato gratin; and then a cataplana de la mer (24€). If you don't know what that is, imagine a bubbling dish filled with mussels, razor clams, fish, tomatoes, chorizo and lemon, and you'll get this typical Portuguese dish.

For dessert, if you still have room, don't miss theIle flottante à la praline rose Pompadour (9€), a marvel of sweetness and indulgence, or the crumble of perfectly caramelized apples with Calvados (9€) and its buttery cookie.

Enjoy your meal!
