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.

    Our visit to ZEST yesterday was a delight once again. The oysters were unbeatable, the service was attentive, and the bread to start was perfectly crispy.

    I have been many times, but this time was a shocker and I felt ripped off. Meat quality was poor.

    Oh. My. Goodness. What a fabulous meal and we had a gorgeous view to boot. We completely over-indulged and have sworn off food for the foreseeable future, but it was totally worth it. I had the crab cocktail to start, and my son had the fish croquettes. We each liked ours best (but I was right and mine was better). For mains he had the salmon and I had the trio of seafood - salmon, calamari and 2 queen prawns. Everything was perfectly cooked and flavorful. We shouldn't have had dessert. We were already full. But we ignored what we knew to be true and forged ahead. I had the creme brulee, served with lemon curd and fresh berries. The last time I had creme brulee this perfect was 25 years ago at Willoughby's. My son had the Chocolate Delice. Also absolutely gorgeous. It is very rich though, so maybe skip the starter if you want to have this for pudding. Great restaurant, great food, worth several visits.

    The food and service are excellent. Ambience is good but limited by surrounding buildings.Prices are high relative to alternative restaurants but this is compensated by other aspects above
