Oh man, to sit outside and enjoy a drink and brunch. Great job Jose covering this little gem place.

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it! It really is the perfect spot in the perfect location! Hope you get to go and enjoy it as much as we do! Bonjour!

@dianacook6337 5 месяцев назад

The food looked so amazing. On our last visit we tried to go to Zinc a couple times. Our timing was off and they were closed. Next time we come they will definitely be the first place we will go to dinner. We would love to meet Sophie & Antonine and support Zinc. Thank you for highlighting this restaurant Jose.

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

Now you have a valid reason to come back to Merida! Hope you guys enjoy it as much as me and Christian do!

@PeaceforLisa 5 месяцев назад

This is one of my absolute favorite videos. Sophie is absolutely charming and kind. The dinner shots were amazing. I especially loved the happy dancing while you and Christian were enjoying the meal. A definite sign that the food is delicious 😋 I immediately knew where you were going towards the end of the video when you said it was your favorite place. The weather looks wonderful too.

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

That's awesome! So happy to hear you loved the video so much! It was also fun to make and a great excuse for us to go out to Zinc for a wonderful meal. Thanks again for the kind words! Hope you get to visit them sometime! Bonjour!

@miguelperera2332 5 месяцев назад

I will be visiting Merida in March. When I get the chance I’m definitely stopping by at Zinc, the food looks amazing!!

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

That's awesome! I'm sure you'll love it! Bonjour!

@LizaJaneFlor 5 месяцев назад

That was amazing! I can’t wait to go visit Zinc and try her cuisine…. It looks divine! I enjoyed the o herviré and her insights for business…. Especially the idea of taking the class for it!

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

For sure a must visit when you are in town! Always an amazing experience on every level! Bonjour!

I will let my cousin in Merida know I left the USA for France 21 years and love it !!! French of course since 2000!!!

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

Wow that is awesome! I can assure you they will love it! The Food is authentic as it gets! Bonjour!

@fp2374 5 месяцев назад

how do you know its authentic nothing outside of France is lol!@@JoseArteagaTravels

@fp2374 5 месяцев назад

just kidding je vous en prie!

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

@@fp2374 Jaja well actually glad you brought that up. I was a trained Chef for many years before I ever started doing RU-vid and I learned Authentic French Cuisine in School from actual French Chefs and also worked in a Few French restaurants in my career and i am very familiar with it. Of course there is no replacement for Actual French Cuisine in France. But you can't get any closer than actually having a French owner who also happens to be a Chef to really bring an authentic piece of France out here to Merida. I am honestly transported back in time eating there and being in that amazing ambiance. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a to try a true piece of France while out here in Merida.

You are in the middle of all the crazy action. Not to mention being so close to Russia and war in the horizon.

@nikitacat62 5 месяцев назад

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

It really is! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Their staff is lovely, they clearly take good care of them 🙌🏼 nothing like enjoying a negroni and having a galette on the breezy terrasse in the evening ❤ bravo Sophie et Antoine! 🇲🇽 🇫🇷

@JoseArteagaTravels 4 месяца назад

I totally agree! We love Sophie and Antoine and love coming here whenever we can. Bonjour!

@nimacastro7664 5 месяцев назад

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed the video so much! If you are ever in Merida you definitely have to pay them a visit! Thanks for sharing!

@user-en2ct8ql4g 5 месяцев назад

Awesome, it shows the diversity of the cuisine and culture in Mexico. Tacos are great, however I feel alot of you-tubers just focus on that. So this good, the pasta looked divine

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

Exactly! When living in Mexico you basically eat tacos and Mexican Food all the time. Even the Mexicans themselves crave for variety that goes beyond just burgers and wings as well. That's one of the reasons I like to highlight people and places like Sophie and her restaurant Zinc. I want to show people there is more than just tacos out here! I also want to highlight there are many types of immigrants in Mexico. There have always been many people flocking to Mexico for one reason or another and this is just another example of a successful immigrant story out here in Mexico! Bonjour!

@dianaj3139 5 месяцев назад

Terrific interview and just gotta say... Love French food!!

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

@tonyetheselfcaremaven 5 месяцев назад

Catching the r replay and really loved this fresh take on Merida and all it has to offer us regular folks. I’ll be sure to check out Zinc! Also, it would be great if you featured some neighborhoods in “southern” Merida. I don’t know if you’ve already done this but I’m curious.😅

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you are loving the content! I've actually done many videos in the southern region of Merida. In fact most of my videos are filmed in many parts of the Southern Portion of the city since thats where I live and it is much easier for me to take a drive or bike ride around here than the North of the city. No worries I will be doing more in the future. Thanks for the suggestion!

@GerardoHernandez-wy2pb 5 месяцев назад

I want to eat here!! Thanks Jose!!

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

You and me both! Can't wait to find another reason to go back again!

@felippuente1909 5 месяцев назад

Long time following your channel Jose. This time I couldn't resist writing my first comment. Great content by the way. My wife and I, were in Merida last year in March. To my surprise, I heard my wife saying that she would like to go back again ( I hope soon) she really liked it. And when we do, I'm going to ask you for advice about the delicious French cuisine. It really looked delicious. Till then, keep enjoying the great Merida life!

@JoseArteagaTravels 4 месяца назад

That is awesome! Very happy to hear you are enjoying these types of videos! I plan on doing more as the year rolls out! Hope you guys get a chance to visit Zinc next time you are out here. Perhaps that will be what finally convinces your wife to finally move to Merida! Thanks again for all the love and support throughout the years! Bonjour!

Hey Jose, I think you hit a different level. You might have to start dressing up now.

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

Jaja yeah I clean up well, but only on special occasions. Thank you for the kind words! I love living in shorts and T-shirt weather and that won't be changing anytime soon 😅

@isabellepacaud8911 5 месяцев назад

I will definitely check it out when I’m there at the end of this month. How is the price $$$?

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

That's awesome! I hope you enjoy it! I think the prices are moderate. Totally fair and reasonable. I show the current menu in the video so you can judge for yourself, since we all have a different opinion on what a reasonable price point is. Hope that helps!

@crystalgarcia2143 5 месяцев назад

I think also in the usa takes moths for a liquor license not 7 month's but 2 or 3 month's

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

It all depends on where in the USA. Some places it is easy to obtain while I know in certain cities they only have a set number of licenses and they dont issue out any more so you have to buy it from someone else and sometimes the price can be in the millions of dollars. Same thing out here in Mexico some states and municipalities are more strict than others. Here in Merida it only seems to take time and patience after talking to many other business owners out here.

@everardosantana1004 5 месяцев назад

Salut! Are French people moving to Merida?

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

Everyone is moving to Merida these days! But yes there is a small but growing French community here in Merida! Bonjour!

@nala3038 5 месяцев назад

What’s the healthcare like in France? Is it as cheap as they say??

@JoseArteagaTravels 5 месяцев назад

That is a great question! Unfortunately this video is about a French couple who lives in Mexico so there is no information on what the French healthcare system is like since they have already been living in Mexico for over 15 years. Bonjour!
