Zest is a really lovely restaurant. The menu is not extensive, which is a guarantee of freshness! The food was delicious, tasty and the ingredients were fresh. The kitchen opens out onto the restaurant allowing you to watch the Chefs prepare your meal. Staff are...wonderful, friendly and fun! Hermine, the owner, is such a wonderful woman, warm and welcoming. It was my partners birthday and she very kindly offered him a glass of wine on the house - such a kind and thoughtful gesture. You must absolutely try the chocolate fondant - it is to die for!! You must definitely eat here when in Gordon’s Bay, it is a true gem!More

Magnificent

Wow! Is all I can say! We arrive in cape Town at about 21:00 and they were the only restaurant whose kitchen had not yet closed and were more than happy to serve us dinner. The hake was incredible and the seafood risotto was beyond...amazing! And the service was incredible Fantastic experience over all!More

Had such a lovely evening. Food, service and ambience amazing. Really made my friends birthday very special. The dessert plate with the birthday message written in chocolate was a lovely touch. Thank you so much.

Small gem in the beach front

What a pleasant surprise when entering. Small but still spacious with friendly staff eager to assist. Food with a mediteranean feel. Loved the Moules! Specials are great and price is very reasonable ! I can highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner .

Zest offers fine finding in a unpretentious sea view restaurant. Line fish was out of this world! Vegan curry made especially for me by chef Ruben was divine! Five stars.

I see your restaurant is child friendly, does that mean that you only have a kids menu or do you have a play area as well?

Hi Theresa. We do not have a printed kidies menu or a play area, but we do have options available for kids. We always try to accomodate as far as we can. We have regular customers with children and do have a kiddies chair... More
