Tasty and gorgeous food. The staff are also very cool. Loving this place.

Well what a massive let down!! I took my wife there for our wedding anniversary, haven't been there for years. What a massive disaster, DON'T order the blue cod it was fish bites and old dried up fish bites and the price day light robbery at $32.00. 4 little fish bites. My meal was steak small and the chips needed more cooking not a place you want to eat at Never go back you need to avoid this restaurant.

Easily the best restaurant in Timura. And it’s not difficult to see why. Their pizzas are tasty. Recommend the lamb shank sandwich too! The restaurant is right at the back of a church with ample parking spaces around it.

Amazing food but they removed the peach iced tea from the menu sadly the only thing i liked.

Superb atmosphere, service, and food as always. Particularly enjoyed the Burger of the Day for lunch today. Delicious pulled pork! Full of flavour! Thanks Zest Team!

Highly recommended, yummy food great atmosphere. We took our desert to go and it was still super nice and well presented

Had a lovely meal. Food cooked to our tastes,fresh and delicious thankyou. Wonderful services letting us know that the kitchen was catching up we didn't mind waiting at all. Daughter loved her tea and coloring in her picture to give to the staff. Thankyou we will definitely be back with out friends.

Have been there 2 times recently, outstanding food and service 👌 made my family happy. Will definitely go again. 10/10 recommended. Caters to everyone ➕️ cocktails are great

Amazing service and staff who were able to work with us after our reservation was not recorded by their booking system. Amazing meals and great portion sizes, especially for the price point. Great range of oven-baked pizzas on offer, including old classics and interesting combinations - highly recommend the apricot chicken. We went for dinner but it looked like you could stop in at lunchtime and get a coffee and light meal, the pastries and cakes on display looked delicious.

A really nice quiet restaurant. Service was nice.. Meals were really good. 😊 Definitely will come again Sorry no pics of food had lamb shanks..

Pizza and cheesecake very niceee, will come again and try another dishes next time

Amazing food, amazing service. The manager Alex is really chill and always says hello when I walk in, always has a smile on his face. The food is so delicious! The girls out the front Sarah and Ashleigh and always really bubbly, have always got a smile on and are always very quick to serve the customer. Can not fault zest at all. Love going there and will continue going there.

Visiting from the UK. Very nice food well cooked, resonably priced, fast service and good coffee. Super friendly team. Had good natter to lady running the place as she was from near where we live in the UK. Leamington Spa. Open during the day with 2 hour free parking within a mins walk which is a bonus. Definately worth seeking out.

We have been here multiple times when visiting my parents in Timaru, and every single time the food and service has been excellent, no matter how busy they are. We have since moved to Timaru, and took a group of 10 there to celebrate, and yet again Zest did not fail us. They even cooked a takeaway ribeye steak meal for my wife as she wasn't able to come. Cannot recommend this place enough!

A little late with the review (sorry) as we have only just got back from touring the West Coast. Visited Zest on the 22nd Feb. with a friend from the UK. A good choice of food resulting in a very nice meal served by very pleasant staff. Thanks we'll be back :-)

Such a great little pizza place - if you pass through this town, stop here! They have good WiFi as well. Free bottle of water is a nice touch. We ordered the APRICOT CHICKEN PIZZA and it was SUPERB! If you have a craving for pizza then you definitely should try this. It is such an interesting design concept - they are part of a church. It was a bit hard to find via google because Elizabeth street from the main road didn’t seem to connect. But we looped around. Photos from March 2018.

Fantastic food. But food took ages to come out. Restaurant wasn't full and we only had kids meals, wedges and chips ordered. Even the kids platter took a good half an hour.

A lovely place to meet up with friends. Ordered a small mongrel pizza and a flat white. Both were good.

My partner and I took our granddaughter to Zest for lunch. Couldn't fault anything. The service was great and we had nachos and the prawn dish which were superb

Great place to go, good relaxed atmosphere, service unbeatable, food well presented, good portions and well priced. Will be back. Recommended.

A pleasant surprise. The coffee was ordinary, but the food was excellent. The ribeye with mushroom sauce was nicely done, and the snack sized seafood mornay pizza was a hood size, and a reminder that proper pizzas are still available. Friendly staff, clean and sensible parking nearby. I've already recommended to others.

Back to having really great pizzas again, absolutely loved it. Perfect amount of toppings. ♾️+ The family and I will be back soon. Thanks.

Three of us went to Zest today for lunch. We were celebrating an 8th birthday, a little early. We all thoroughly your meal.

Great on a winters night, with a fire blazing, friendly staff, with a huge menu to choose from ( pizza to lamb shanks) desserts to a slice of cake, it's your choice. Try it once you will want to return the next day, it's that good.

The meal was delicious, was just hard to choose on the menu so many nice choices. We had our wedding dinner here, is our new favourite place to eat. Lovely food and service

Just had tea at Zest and we had gluten free pizzas. Great range of toppings and they were really yummy. Bit disappointing they didn't have a separate gluten free fryer (so couldn't have chips) and no gluten free dessert on the menu.

Very nice. Not as good in regards to size of the meals as it had been in the pass. Felt there was less topping on the pizzas. Price why's getting expensive
