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.

    Limited research led me to Zest, and what an excellent choice it turned out to be. Right from the welcome, the light hearted chat with the guys behind the bar during a pre-dinner drink, and the lady who served the food. And it was the food that was the star. I am already booked to go back before my visit to Cape Town finishes.
