El restaurante está al lado e integrado a una casa de antigüedades y posada Casa Zinc Todo es muy pintoresco. La atención fue muy amable. Estaba antojada de un bowl de frutas con granola y ya había pasado la hora de servir el desayuno, sin embargo, me lo prepararon y estaba riquísimo. El café fabuloso.

A cafeteria que promete se expandir dentro do antiquário deve ganhar em breve (isso se Aaron Hojman já não andou fazendo mudanças desde minha última visita) um espaço mais organizado, tanto para um belo brunch, já que hoje o cafezinho bem tirado em uma super máquina de café eque acompanha os deliciosos quitutes, são consumidos no balcão ou em uma pequena mesinha, quanto para algumas degustações de vinhos. O Café Zinc foi um daqueles achados que me fazem acreditar em destino, uma história que eu conto para quem me perguntar compartindo um vinho. Para quem não acredita mesmo em destino, localizado na gostosa La Barra, a cafeteria também serve perfeitamente para uma boa parada entre Punta del Este e José Ignácio.
