Newly opened Zest Restaurant has introduced a value-for-money Spring Menu consisting of five courses, and costing only R198. It is available until 30 September.

Zest is an Asian-Mediterranean fusion restaurant which cooks its meat, fish, and vegetables on an open fire grill. The Kameeldoring wood used for the fire adds a special aroma to the foods cooked on it.

Zest owner is Chef Pavel Dimitrov, current co-owner of Utopia Cape Town, and former partner in Pigalle and NV-80. He believes in Less is More, with only a few ingredients in each dish, and he does not use smears, foams, or gels in his plating. Local and Fresh is Best is the Zest mantra.

Zest has a lovely seaview terrace from its second floor location in Piazza da Luz in Sea Point.  Its beautiful interior design was created by Landy Walker, in partnership with the owner of the newkings boutique hotel Romao da Luz.

The five-course Spring Menu consists of the following courses:

Course 1: Hot smoked fish croquettes, with apple, garlic, lettuce and a dill aioli.

Course 2. Roasted sweet potato, crispy baby spinach, raisins, roasted walnuts, and sweet potato purée.
