Welcome to Zest
Fresh and Local at it’s Best
Welcome to Zest
Tucked away on the second floor of the NewKings Boutique Hotel, Zest is a serene escape from the hustle of Sea Point’s Main Road. While we are a hidden treasure within the Piazza Da Luz mall, those who venture off the main road and up to our doors are met with views of the Atlantic Ocean and an atmosphere that feels like home.
Whether you are seeking a crisp morning breakfast on our terrace or the evening pulse surrounded by warm wood and lush greenery, Chef Pavel and his expert team provide a dining experience that combines gourmet flavors with a warm, approachable soul.

The Soul of Our Kitchen
Chef Pavel Dimitrov brings 26 years of expertise to Zest, where the philosophy is “Less is More.” Focused on world-class sourcing and the art of the Kameeldoring wood-fired grill, we let the natural quality of our seafood and meats lead. This is refined, honest dining in its most soulful form.
Curated Pours
From our signature Signature Zest Margarita, with a crisp twist of lime and a hint of ginger, to carefully selected boutique South African wines and premium Champagnes, our drinks menu is crafted to elevate your dining experience. Whether you are sipping a local Swartland Chenin by the glass or celebrating with a fine glass of Méthode Cap Classique on the terrace, we have a pour for every palate.
