Zest Restaurant And Terrace

Zest is a great restaurant for a romantic date. The esplanade is there for an after #dessert stroll. #butterchicken ($25) looks and smell delicious. Very well presented, visually appealing, the spicy aroma makes me hungry. The mango chutney is nice little palate distraction. Waitress is very helpful and friendly, efficient chef, kind manager (review courtesy of manager and chef). Centrally located to #CBD and #park.

Had dinner hear a year ago and it was amazing !!! All 5 of us enjoyed our food !!!

Good food at reasonable prices

Delicious food and great service

Stayed at the Novotel on the Esplanade for a week and although the rooms weren’t great the food was awesome Breakfast daily a lunch and a few dinners. Breakfast was a good balance of fresh fruit cereals juices eggs poached or scrambled hash browns beans bacon and mushrooms. The first night I had the steak which was a fillet about 220 grams rare with vegetables. The steak was deliciously good with the jus and pan fried greens my coworker had beef cheeks that was tender and the rest looked awesome. The last night we had Barra pan fried and I had oysters kilpatrick. Wasn’t great at all the oysters were overpowered by the over cooked bacon and far too much worshtishire sauce, making it sticky and heavy tasting. My Coworker had the Barra and it was the tail end cut so got overcooked and incredibly dried out. But overall it was a a solid four stars because when they did it well it was seriously good food. Service can be a bit slow though. The place needs a good update but the staff were fantastic and made up for the experience. Even when my aircon went the service guy was lovely and came pronto in the morning. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent food for all ages and short wait times

Friendly quite great food
