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.

    Zest is a place that you need to visit. Then armed with your experience visit again. In future will be the first choice restaurant when in Cape Town.

    We generally enjoy this restaurant and have had very good experiences here in the past. During our previous visit, Leroy took excellent care of several special requests, which is why we kindly asked for him again this time. But unfortunately another waiter said he can do it as well but … Unfortunately, a few small details were not quite as expected: the steak was medium rather than medium-rare, and my chargrilled cauliflower was a bit too charred, despite my request for just very little oil. As the manager was not on site, we were unable to share this feedback directly. We hope to return and enjoy the high standard we know from earlier visits. We will come in December again and would have loved to take best memory with us!
