Zest Cafe, Clane

 
Zest Café & Restaurant began life back in June 2003. Owner Mark Condron has created an establishment known for its great food and warm welcome. Along with his young and vibrant team they have created a venue with quality and passion at its core. The kitchen at Zest Café has been led by Alan O’Regan since its inception. Alan has worked in many of Dublin’s best loved restaurants before joining Zest. The word zest aptly describes Alan’s approach and use of flavours in his cooking, with his use of clean and distinct flavours creating interesting and eclectic menu options. Alan and his team use only the best ingredients, local if possible, to create delicious and unfussy food. Zest operates as a café during the day with all the classic lunchtime offerings of exquisite soups, chowders, stews & mouth watering salads. At night it gets a little more serious but yet relaxing transforming itself into a smart bistro with set tables and intimate lighting. In the evening you can choose from an array of fish, game and beef options, accompanied by a wine from our carefully chosen wine list, most of which are served by the glass. Alternatively you can pop in for a delicious pizza and a beer.

Happened upon this place while out cycling with a friend and we popped in for brunch not expecting too much from somewhere tucked out of the way. We both really enjoyed our eggs benedict, excellent hollandaise sauce which can often be quite poor in places. Brought my fiance back for dinner and we really enjoyed our evening there, food was great. My chocolate desert was everything a chocolate lover could hope for! I had the pate brioche and it was quite good, and the chicken for main. I hardly ever order chicken but it sounded so good I just had to this time and I was not dissappointed. My partner ordered the asparagus to start which was gorgeous and the lamb kofta for main which I did not taste but he assured me was delicious and filling. We both had a glass of the house red and it was good. Zest represents great value for money, a nice ambiance and staff/service were great. I could not fault them. This restaurant will definitely become a regular for me.

On our recent visit to Zest we were delighted to see that all the elements that make it a great restaurant are still there; excellent fresh wholesome food, fantastic wines, friendly staff and buzzing atmosphere. We were even more delighted to see that their menu is even better value than before and thankfully this hasn't compromised portion sizes or food quality. My only complaint was biting down on a completely frozen potato wedge in my side order. It was very off putting and I couldn't eat any of the wedges after that. Having mentioned this to the waitress, I was disappointed to find that I was still charged for the side order.

Brought my in-laws to Zest cafe for pizza and beer. The crust of the pizzas are thin and crispy and there are plenty of toppings on the pizza. We actually found that pizza was all we needed as they're big and very tasty. Have been there before and the food and service has always been to a very high standard. Would recommend!
