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 enjoyed a birthday breakfast with two of my friends. Our waiter was really attentive making sure that we are comfortable and on standby should we needed anything. Thank you Zest for a very lovely experience.

    We shared the seared kudu carpaccio. It was beautifully delicate and decadently flavoured. It is served without bread. We asked for some and we received lovely chunks of fresh bread. I had the prawns which are served with chips. The prawns were fresh and perfectly done in a lemony, herb and garlic butter. It is served with hand cut chips. Very good. My friend chose the aubergine parmagiana, and loved it. Neither of these portions were very big, so a grown man might feel slightly peckish afterwards. The waitron was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and kept our glasses of bubbly full. The ambiance and decor are lush and indulge the senses. The view is one of the best in Cape Town, gorgeously white sandy beach, bright blue sky, noisy street below, people watching. And oh my word, the cars passing by, absolutely thrilling.
