    Great oysters - the best I've had in CPT👌🏾. The main dishes and drinks are on the pricey side of life, for a table of four people we paid +- 1800. Overall, the vibe and aesthetics are what makes this a great place to visit. Will definitely be back.

    It took them 10 minutes for a waiter to come serve us. Our starters took 40 minutes to arrive. We got here at 7 ordered our mains at 730 an 40 minutes in they still have not arrived. The cheapest wine is 300 and is easily a 50 rand bottle at the store. The wine is horrible. When our mussels finally arrived, they were over cooked as the shells were so brittle they were breaking and mixing with the sauce, making it very difficult to eat.The waiters don't check up on you to see if your ok and I am ready to leave. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Thanks but no thanks We ended up leaving. Paid the bill for our drinks and mussels as the food had still not arrived an entire 30 min later. This is the worst service I've ever received from a restaurant.

    Had a late dinner, service was pretty good & the food lovely. A nice open environment that gives that Cosy homely feel. They have old school pizza ovens in full view of customers. A really lovely place for those that like a mature or tranquil vibe. I ate the prawn pasta which totally hit the spot & very tasty.

    I'm not sure how this restaurant has only 4.3 stars, it's a 5 star for sure! Been to 20 countries and this was the best food we've ever had! The ambience is simply unbeatable with spectacular views of the beach and turquoise Indian Ocean. Drinks were ice cold, food was hot and fast. Has t-bone steak and seafood pasta (spicy!). Which I hadn't waited til the last day of my week's stay on the peninsula, it should've been our first! (I got the chips, go for the patotoes!)

    Stopped here for a bite to eat and it was such a cute restaurant by the ocean and the ambiance itself was gorgeous. We came in and the hostess, the manager, and our server were all very nice. We were able to sit right next to the edge so we could look out and see the ocean, which was a nice view. We had started with some Rosè and had the Whipped Feta & Blistered Tomatoes. I personally enjoyed the appetizer - the bread that accompanied it was warm and delicious and the tomatoes really worked in tandem with the feta. My sister on the other hand didn't love the appetizer like I did because the feta was served cold, it wasn't warmed which she would have preferred. Although I liked the app the way it was, I could definitely see how it could've been even better if it was a hot appetizer rather than cold. We then shared the Carbonara and it was delicious. The noodles were perfectly al dente and the egg sauce was well-made. I wished I could've stayed here a little bit longer but we were on the move and had to be somewhere. I definitely enjoyed this restaurant - the staff was nice, the bathrooms were clean, the restaurant was gorgeous, and the food was amazing. I definitely want to come back to this one!

    Great location and view combined with great food. We had pizza and pasta both of which we perfectly done and served not too long after ordering. The decor is modern and classy. Gives one a very comfortable feeling which is always a nice touch at an upmarket restaurant. The only downside is that the pricing is aimed at foreign tourists so it is slightly expensive compared to other restaurants.

    Stopped for an afternoon drink and enjoy the baked camembert cheese plate. The service was attentive and the view of the beach from the front edge of the patio great. Lots of security!! Interior seats are classy and I liked the little "library" section!

    Beautiful ambiance almost all seating areas have the view, the drinks are amazing my aunt loved the pine apple crush. The food was ok ,we had a fig and bacon pizza which was interesting, the flavors worked but it's not the best pizza. We ordered our drinks from a passing by runner as our waiter was not available to welcome us and take our starting drinks, the lady was moody lacked enthusiasm. The manager had to go push for our drink orders as they had taken time. Out waiter only made himself available to take our food orders ,then we had to confirm with him if he was our waiter? Bathroom doors were not locking, the flashing system was not working well either. It is a beautiful place but for our first time it was a huge disappointment as we were literally ignored when we came in and wanted to get our drinks, however, I think it is worth a second try and hopefully to the service will be better .

    The service turned out to be an excellent surprise. The staff member who attended to us was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was good. The seafood pasta was a little spicy, but I understand that in Cape Town the food ends up having more herbs than in the European style. Good wine selection. Close to the ocean. If you have an open sunny day, it turns out to be fantastic. Clean and organized facilities.

    My favourite place in Camps Bay! Everything about this place was awesome. The decor with the wall of books had an excellent, cosy yet modern feel to it. The whole ambience of Zenzero was just perfect, which made it that much more of a pleasant experience to dine in. The added benefit was the view of the beautiful ocean which added an acoustic peace to our meal. Literally every dish we tried on their menu was excellent. I’d highly recommend trying the lobster - it tasted fresh and very flavoursome. The price to quality ratio was outstanding. Look forward to visiting here on my next trip to Cape Town! Highly recommend you check it out if you’re in Camps Bay.

    Our server, Brian, was incredible 2 nights in a row. He’s delightful, attentive, knowledgeable, and modulates his energy very well to match the guests at each table. The food is exquisite, most of it either baked in the wood oven or over the charcoal grill. Pizzas, pastas, steaks, veg options. The desserts and cocktails are also on point. Don’t miss it!

    My favourite place in Camps Bay! Amazing service, a lot of options, excellent presentation and quality! The service is perfect, everyone very nice and helpfull. We had a starter with oysters, as mains we had kingklip with baby potatoes and seafood pasta. For dessert, the pears and almonds cake. Great food and beautiful views. Don't miss Zenzero if you are visiting Cape Town!

    What a beautiful restaurant. I love taking photos of beautiful places, so was disappointed when I was told that I wasn't allowed to take photos with my camera. Only cell phone photos allowed. I did manage to take a few before I was told though. I ordered a salad which was nice, but my first impression of the venue was that the food must be fantastic so the salad was somewhat disappointing. There are so many varieties of lettuce and greens available that can glam up any salad nowadays. Their target market is definitely international tourists as their prices were too high for our Durban pockets :)

    I came here for dinner with a friend one midweek evening and I enjoyed it. The service from our waiter was a little slow, but they made up for it with the food. I had the chicken pesto tagliatelle pasta and a non alcoholic cocktail, the “green spot” to drink.

    This was the second restaurant by the Kove collection of which we visited and had a great lunch. We were promptly welcomed by a host who provided us a lovely table and introduced our waiter to us. The fish recommended by the waiter was exquisite and I will never forget how good those 8 aperol spritz's tasted. Hope to visit the Zenzero team again in a future vacation.
