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.

    I always love going to Zest. Been there many times. This time round I was sorely disappointed, as my steak (which was done to perfection) had pepper on about a third of the steak in such an amount it was inedible (for me). Told the waiter and the manager and all I got was "oh sorry about that". I left after a meal which was otherwise enjoyable and bought a chicken burger at the garage next door, as I was still hungry. Really disappointing!

    Waiter was efficient but v adamant about how the chef likes to prepare the food which didn’t brook any argument. My salmon was too rare for my liking. The dining inside is v noisy for older people.

    The service from the minute we walked into the door was amazing - staff was friendly and welcoming and our waiter, John, brought incredible energy into the night. My partner and I were well pleased. Where we felt disappointed was in the food itself - the first round of oysters were delicious, it was my first time trying them and I was left stunned. The rest of the meal though fell well short of my expectations. From the lobster, to the queen prawns and even the brocollini as a side was bland and tasteless. It was not made any better by the fact that when we informed our waiter that we didn't enjoy the food as much as we'd hoped, he became defensive all of a sudden. This left a bad taste in my and my partners mouth (pun intended). Given the high price of the menu, I expected much more and can definitely say I was left disappointed. I don't think I will be going back anytime soon.

    The only negative I had was I ordered a different cocktail to the Margherita I was brought. Everyone else ordered it so I can understand How it got lost. But I drank it anyway, it was great.
