  Dinner was excellent. I enjoyed the pork neck roulade - succulent and meaty. Service is great.

  Really an outstanding restaurant. It fools you from the outside, because it looks very casual, but once inside its just class all the way. The service is outstanding, the employees... read more are friendly and so willing to help. We had the chicken ballentine and the pork neck roulade along with a bottle of white wine. The food was truly amazing, I would recommend either dishes. The chocolate fondant was just the cherry on the cake. It was nice and firm on the outside and just overwhelming chocolatly smooth. Honestly, if you don't have time to stay for an entire meal experience, just eat that dessert. We nearly fought about that amazing dessert.

  Very friendly staff, the menu is amazing, great vegetarian options. Very clean and an overall enjoyable experience. The quirky quotes on the walls were funny

  Lovely food!!! tx made our last night in the Cape truly special!

  It’s easy to find pub-type places in this area. Also easy to find places with similar, standard menus. Much harder to find a place with great food, creative menu, atmosphere, friendly service, a view and BEST panna cotta for dessert! Thanks for surprising us. We’ll be back - often 😁😁

  Wow. As a self proclaimed foodie, I am proper impressed. We have been eating at numerous places the last couple of days from Yzerfontein, Bloubergstrand, Houtbay, right around up to Hermanus and we were not spoiled like this. Food was exceptional. Service was perfect even for a fully packed restaurant. Food was fresh and tastefully prepared. Calamari was super fresh, Yellowtail fish was cooked to perfection. Frozen Nougat desert was out of this world. Well done to the staff and chefs. Do NOT under estimate this little gem of the False Bay area.

  Lovely food. great owner. he even made my baby a bit of puree and plated specially for my son. loved our meals As Well. we wish them all the best in these difficult times and hope they are around for many years to come.

  We used to love this restaurant frequenting it often.... But after 3/4 attempts over the last year and half to get the food and menu we were used to.... We are officially never going back. Faaaaar too expensive for a super limited menu (8 main meals @R140 ave) and genuinely underwhelming, horrible, bland food... Very disappointing.... Not sure what happened to this place but it's just sad.

  Incredible food - prepared quickly, professionally and a true taste sensation!

  myself 61yrs old and my 86yrs old Dad decided to have lunch today. Both had seafood. me grilled Yellowtail. was excellent. My dad had grilled Hake. Excellent. no complaints at all. We will be back. All the way from Belville.

  Of the best flavored and tasting food in town!

  Beautiful setting with chill atmosphere and lovely staff and delish seafoods and curries!

  great atmosphere. awsome service

  Kind and friendly atmosphere with a view

  What a taste experience?! Everything fresh and complimentary flavours and fragrances. Such a pity during Covid that there weren’t more people enjoying the sunset views and exceptional dining. Will see us soon again.

  Thank you Zest Home Dining, my home cooked meals have never taste this good! Freshly prepared ingredients delivered to our door with instructions. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  My boyfriend planned the best date by getting a delivery from Zest and we had the best experience following your recipes and cooking together. The food came out amazing and it was just such a beautiful, romantic and fine dining experience in the comfort of our own home. HIGHLY recommended!

  The owner and chef is a true artist! His passion is obvious in his presentation and flavour combinations! A gem for Gordon's bay ♥️

  One of the best settings in G.Bay and outstanding cuisine. Don't expect "huge servings", this is something else and to be enjoyed.

  Zest never disappoints, I’ve recommended this establishment to all our guests and they always come back happy, today was no exception, the food was delicious, friendly service and great atmosphere. Zest is one of the Gems of Gordon’s Bay

  Amazing food ,freshly prepared ,great service,wonderful venue and inexpensive added to my favorites list

  Friendly service, scenic view and fine food!

  we were there for a 60th birthday celebration! The food was excellent and nicely presented and the staff were friendly and attentive! We will definately be back there!

  Compliments to the Chef and the Menu for 'Mother's Day' - still love the 'French' influence ... a warming soup of the day (beef and lentils), Moules mariniere, Arancini, Ribeye with 'Pommes Pont Neuf' , Ballotine of chicken, White Wine Pear with chantilly cream, dark chocolate and almonds... and good wines... Tres bien! Excellent place for gourmets in Gordon's Bay! (also appreciate the correct wording of your menu!)

  Warm welcome and Helmien jou truly went the extra mile for my kids... Thank you so much.... See you Wednesday!!
