Welcome To Zest

Situated in the heart of Sea Point with an unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean, this restaurant offers a quiet escape from the hustle of the busy Sea Point Main Road. With a specialised menu designed for each meal of the day – breakfast, lunch and dinner, Zest isn’t a one-time visit kind of place; rather, it’s somewhere you’ll come back to time and again until it feels like home.

The wood-fired grill at Zest is the highlight of the kitchen. Chef Pavel believes that fresh is best and less is more. He believes that ingredient sourcing is most important, offering the best quality.

    The service was especially good… attentive and helpful without being intrusive, which is rare in Cape Town.

    We had a lovely time at Zest. One area of concern re the grill master or the waiter. I had a 500 grams wing-ribeye steak and asked for medium rare. It came out cooked well done. When I brought it up with Alaine our waiter he said it is the kind of steak and would be more tender towards the middle(his words)I didn't finish the steak and did not make a scene, as it is always an unpleasant encounter. The starters and desert and my wife's Baby kingklip was as usual top knotch.

    We booked a table for Valentine’s Day two weeks in advance. When we arrived we were ushered to a table by the manageress. We waited for 25 minutes to get someone to serve us water. People went out of their wait to avoid eye contact with us, although we tried hard to get their attention. We decided to leave, and no one batted an eyelid at us, even though I made a point of saying goodbye to the manageress who ushered us to a table. Poor service for a high end restaurant.
