A Celebration of Local Tastes

Zeste Restaurant

Zeste, pronounced /zɛst/ like the French word for "gusto" and "flavor," is more than just a name—it’s a philosophy. Inspired by the zest of citrus and the enthusiasm of creating honest, heartfelt meals, Zeste embodies the spirit of the Aegean. Here, every dish tells a story of the fertile soil, fruitful sea, and the harmonious ecosystem that provides the raw quality ingredients we celebrate. From our farm’s fresh produce and dairy to the handcrafted creations of our chefs, Zeste is a culinary journey that connects you to the land and its vibrant energy.

A Fresh from the Farm

At Zeste, what’s on your plate is a reflection of the land’s abundance. Just minutes away, the olive groves, vineyard, and farm provide everything from golden olive oil and crisp vegetables to fresh eggs and dairy from free-range animals. Goats, ducks, and chickens all contribute to the table, creating meals that are as sustainable as they are delicious. Here, farm-to-table truly means homegrown and heartfelt.

Breakfast, Anytime You Like

At Zeste, breakfast isn’t just a meal—it’s a moment to savor. From creamy yogurt and golden pine honey to homemade cheeses and fresh eggs, every element of your morning spread is a taste of the Aegean. Add to this a colorful variety of jams, crafted from figs, roses, and seasonal fruits. The best part: Breakfast is served whenever and wherever you like, letting you ease into your day at your own pace.

Seasonal Menus, Real Flavors

Our menu evolves with the seasons, celebrating the freshest produce and traditions of the region. Enjoy tender lamb and free-range chicken prepared with time-honored techniques, vibrant vegetables dressed in fragrant olive oil, handmade pastas, and garden-fresh herbs. Every dish is a tribute to the wholesome, hearty flavors of the Aegean.
