We rolled into Le Brin de Zinc around 11 PM and were thrilled to find the kitchen still open! ? These white wine steamed mussels might be small, but they packed a punch of flavor—so fresh and juicy! Paired them with a glass of chilled white wine and finished off the night with a perfectly caramelized crème brûlée. ?✨
Honestly, the quality blew me away, especially considering some mixed reviews. Everything was served quickly, and we had a fantastic time unwinding at the end of a long day.

Everything was excellent, we just arrived to the city and found this restaurant in google and really didn’t expect such good restaurant with delicious food and nice staff.

Terrible food.
The steak was inedible. It was a piece of stew meat which was overcooked to resemble a steak.
The bread was stale.
The salads had too much seasoning...
The staff doesn't speak good english. It' a prime tourist location so it doesn't make sense, even for france.
They were still very nice!
For the prices and location I would have expected better food.

Our dining experience at Le Brin de Zinc in Orléans was nothing short of a disaster, starkly standing out as the absolute worst during our extensive exploration of the city’s gastronomic offerings. The level of service—or, more accurately, the lack thereof—was astonishingly poor, far below any reasonable expectation. Waiting over an hour and a half for our meal was utterly unacceptable, a sentiment that became increasingly palpable as time painfully dragged on. This wasn’t just a minor hiccup; it was a glaring testament to a fundamental breakdown in restaurant management and customer service. Further exacerbating this ordeal, our simple request for the bill, in an attempt to at least pay for what little service we received (a glass of wine and Pepsi), was outright ignored. This level of neglect is not only unprofessional; it’s disrespectful to patrons who choose to spend their time and money at this establishment. It’s my hope that Le Brin de Zinc takes this feedback seriously and undertakes a rigorous review of their service standards to ensure no other customer has to endure what we did.

Started with cocktails and charcuterie board. Cocktails were quite strong but tasty. Everything on the board was good, but the ham was off/sour.
The escargot were very good would recommend.
The duck and potato dish was good, but not outstanding. Similarly with the tartare it was ok, but we have had better. Overall satisfactory.
The service was polite and fast, food and drinks were very quick to arrive. We only speak english and we were able to converse with the waiter and get dish recommendations.
The creme brulee was good but not great, same with the ice-cream special they have right now.
Waiter was friendly and accommodating.
Tldr: this place is good for the cheap prices you are paying!

L'Hibiscus
In a bustling pedestrian street, the façade is discreet. Venture inside for fresh ingredients, original recipes and modern cuisine, courtesy of Céline Lefebvre, a chef with a proven track record. No à la carte, but a short set menu changing regularly abreast of the seasons and availability. Reasonable prices.

Le Lièvre Gourmand
The chef of this establishment on the banks of the Loire trained with the Meilleur family at La Bouitte, and Au Rendez-vous des Pêcheurs, in Blois. Tristan Robreau chooses his suppliers carefully, and delivers fusion cuisine inspired by his travels in Asia. It has a well-formed culinary identity, for example, dried trout soba, Thai garlic; turbot cardamom, red endive. Terrific quality ingredients, confident technique and arresting flavours. This is balanced cuisine that continues to deliver on its promise: Le Lièvre Gourmand is still the best restaurant in town.

Eugène
If you are passing through the Loiret, département, this cosy establishment is recommended for chef Alain Gérard's subtle seasonal cuisine: his dishes are meticulous, tasty and fine, and he composes his mouth-watering surprise set menus as the inspiration takes him.

Gric
Marie Gricourt's career has already taken her to the heights of Christophe Hay's La Table d'à Côté, where she was head chef. She has since opened her own restaurant, a convivial place in keeping with her personality. In this restaurant not far from the banks of the River Loire, the chef and her mainly female team (who provide service with a smile) put a new twist on bistro-style cuisine, simply and precisely: a surf and turf starter with scallops cradled in a sweet potato, bacon and prune purée; conchiglioni stuffed with beef chuck and porcini; and for dessert a delicious floating island with citrus fruit, honey and pollen.

La Dariole
In the heart of the old town and not far from the cathedral, this 15C half-timbered house showcases an easy alliance of old stonework and cosy touches. The chef, who even trained here when he was learning his trade, hits the mark with delicious cuisine that is in tune with the times. The seasonal menu changes regularly and features appealingly tasty dishes such as pork chop with potatoes and a caper jus.
