Excellent restaurant with everything in place.
Swift friendly and attentive service.
Lovely seating outside possible. (Although people come out to smoke occasionally).

Tried a few different dishes and they were all lovely.
The rabbit satay was insanely good!

A nice local wine was well paired to the food.

A small suggestion on that road to a Michelin star - find a way to serve the Bao so it doesn’t stick to the paper and rips. It’s tasted delicious but it’s a shame when they fall apart.

What a way to end of our first day in Malta! Zest is a special place. The service is phenomenal. The food is delicious. The decor is beautiful. Everything about this place is wonderful. If this is what our culinary experience in Malta is going to be like - I CANT WAIT.

We started out with a couple of cocktails and Tuscan bottle of Vermentino. We had the soup dumplings and the ceviche. Our youngest had the chicken tenders and fries. Our oldest had the curry lamb. My wife had the curry beef and I had the Japanese grilled chicken. Wonderful! All of the bites were fabulous. Our server, Cheri (I am probably spelling her name wrong. She is Filipina) recommended all of our dishes and they were perfection. She was awesome

She brought us two Maltese after dinner drinks to try and we loved them. What an experience. Thank you Cheri and thank you Zest team. We loved our meal with you. Thank you!

An absolute highlight in Malta! We were so impressed by our first visit to Zest that we actually ended up eating there three times within one week – which really says it all.

The food is truly outstanding: exceptional in flavor, beautifully presented, and consistently fantastic every single time we visited.

What made Zest especially memorable for us, however, was the exceptional service from Anaik. Warm, attentive, professional, and with an incredible instinct for making every guest feel completely at ease. Anaik truly makes a difference and turned each of our evenings into something special.

Amazing food, a wonderful atmosphere, and service you’ll remember. An absolute recommendation from us.

This place is very elegant, very professional and friendly staff. Food quality is amazing. Beef teppanyaki and chicken satay is a must try. Pretty reasonably priced as well (for how fancy it is).

Liked the food. The music is nice also. The stuff is attentive. We took Tow Yam Khong soup, crispy peking duck, ceviche rolls twice, because it was really good. They also have kids menu: we took salmon maki. For dessert I chose dark chocolate & chilli fondant, it was very nicely presented, but overcooked.

We visited Zest during our stay in Malta, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, the beautiful décor and comfortable atmosphere made us feel relaxed, but it was the food that truly stole the show.

The sushi is prepared with incredible skill, precision and genuine passion. Every dish was unique, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. You can really taste the care and attention that goes into every bite.

The cocktails and drinks were exceptional, and the dessert menu had something to suit everyone, making the perfect ending to an amazing meal.

If you're looking for outstanding sushi and an unforgettable dining experience in Malta, Zest is a must-visit. We can't wait to come back!

What and amazing meal. Top notch and quality food. The Beef Rendang is the best we've ever had. So flavorful. Loved The Sea and Land roll as well. The ribeye meat on tops melts in your mouth. And the pad thai, killer. Great staff, amazing ambiance, gorgeous views, and having Pisang Ambon available made my night. 👏 Bravo. Will be back. 💯

Excellent Asian restaurant with outstanding dishes. We came here three times during our holidays, which says it all. One of our visits was for New Year’s Eve, and it was a very enjoyable experience: a delicious set menu from starter to dessert, a festive atmosphere with a DJ and a singer, and fun little surprises to celebrate the New Year such as party poppers and whistles. The staff are extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We highly recommend this place.
