Zest Restaurant |
Zest boats an impeccable reputation, evidenced by its award of a prestigious chefs hat - the toque - by the respected Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide: its the only restaurant to hold the distinction across eastern NSW between Newcastle to the south and Bellingen in the north.
In a tribute to Zests continuing high standards, it has retained the accolade across three successive seasons, in the meantime garnering other industry awards.
To maintain the restaurants commitment to quality, head chef and owner Glenn Thompson begins preparations for the evening early in the day. Hes on hand to take a special delivery, for example, of Margaret River truffles and supervise venison being readied for an entree plate.
A sous chef meticulously grinds fragrant parmesan while Thompson sets to expertly deboning and tying off sections of Flinders Island suckling lamb. These will be slowly pot roasted with capers, anchovies, lemon, white wine and stock until they reach melting tenderness, just in time for dinner.
