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.

    Thank you very much for 2 evenings of superb dining at your restaurant. We had 2 wonderful meals and thought all our food was amazing. We ate on Sunday 16/11 and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Paid the bill on credit card and left the waiter, what we thought was an acceptable gratuity . He was most grateful. Once again , on Monday we had a superb meal and thought our waitress, was so pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately the evening was diminished by her obvious dissatisfaction with the gratuity offered. We tried to leave a tip and she wasn’t happy , informing us we had to leave 10% gratuity unless we were unhappy with the service . We were however happy with the service until this point. We Hope to return to capetown next year and hopefully this behaviour will not alter our desire to return to zest.

    Booked at Zest for my company end of year lunch (for 15 people). The booking process over the phone (courtesy of Lizahn) was seamless. When we arrived, they set up a long table in a private room free of charge, that was amazing! The decor was perfect. We chose the set menu and everyone loved their food. Our waitress was so on point, quick and extremely friendly. What a lovely experience at Zest. Top tier!

    Great food and service but highly overpriced. Also has a no corkage policy with drinks prices high enough to spoil a good meal. Been there will not return.
