OUR
MISSION
[ZEST] - TINY BITS OF LEMON PEEL USED IN CUISINE TO ENHANCE FLAVORS
Connection. Beyond food, hearts connecting together...
connecting to ourselves, to you and your senses and to the planet we share
as our home. With our ears to the Earth, we are here to fill your life
with flavours and to nourish your soul with an array of the best locally grown
tasty fruits, shoots and roots. We’re here to add flavors in your life,
to bring this little zesty sparkle that will light your day,
and feed your emotions...
OUR
VISION
Earth is destined to be a paradise for all beings, humans included.
For a while, humans have acted a bit naughty, forgetting the wellbeing of other earthling. Now it’s time to step up, fit in and evolve into the powerful and loving creators that we are. Earth loves us so much, and if we put in the effort to understand her, and work with her,
she will bathe us in an abundance of luxury such as clean water,
self sustaining forests and a cool breeze to soothe our busy heads.
Where to start? Right here, today, by eating the foods that Mother Nature is yearning to feed us. In Bali that means colourful fruits,
filling roots, fragrant spices and a sprinkle of heritage rice.

OUR
SPACE
Zen-like mixing it up for beauty and comfort. We’ve renovated a traditional Balinese building keeping all the beautiful features of the structure and introduced modern artwork
by one of our favorite artist ArtxPan into the space. His murals are unique and each figures depicted have what we call in French “le regard de Renoir”, this miraculous touch that gives you the feeling to be seen by the painting. A native Kamboja tree (Frangipani tree) is planted at the heart of the restaurant to add to the Balinese fragrance of the atmosphere. Zest space was made for you to chill in plush sofas while enjoying incredible views over the Campuhan Ridge lush jungles. As travelling taught just, true luxury is a matter of contrasts and union of genres, like savouring delicacies naked on a beach or taking a hot bath after a week spent no shower/full power wandering through wild landscapes.
KICKASS VIEW
Come and enjoy a badass view overlooking the Campuhan Bridges lush ass jungle.
Right on our iron wood deck, you seriously can see the most stunning Avatar tree in Ubud. Really... worth a fucking visit!
ONLY
FRESH FOOD
All ingredients for the restaurant sourced locally. We support organic farmers, local artisans and even our staff grow some of our produce at home! Ask them about it. Our chef’s inspiration comes from his multiple hectare rainforest gardens in Tabanan. Senses and simplicity. This means chopping, crushing, grilling, wokking, fermenting, tasting and trying until we get it right. We bless every dish with love and enthusiasms before it reaches your table and we try to never be too proud to embrace your constructive feedback. Help us get better!

CASSAVA
A farmers dream, as this fulfilling root vegetable grows easy from cutting or seeds, healing the soil and nourishing our stomach all whilst remaining humble and shy. Time to step onto the big stage cassava! Time to rock and roll!
/Kunyit
TURMERIC
This bright yellow health booster has too many benefits to mention. Blood flow, dental health, energy booster, you name is, kunyit has it. Our chef names his dog after it. We love you that much, Kunyit.

JACKFRUIT
Jack is our hero. This gentle can grow up to 40 kilos, easily the biggest tree fruit on the planet. The tree can grow 1000 years old and produce more food than an entire village could eat.
No wonder we use it all over our menu. We turn the young fruit into meaty stringy chunks of goodness. We use the protein rich seeds too. And the ripe fruit is delicious in smoothies and with granola!
/Belimbing
STARFRUIT
This star shaped celebrity is loaded with dietary fibers, vitamins C, B2, B6 and B9 and minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, zinc and iron. Said enough? Shine on Starfruit!
