Zest is the classy and energised room, up at the top of the town, where the good folk of Killorglin meet up with each other to enjoy the spirited cooking and service of Nicola Lynch and her hard-working team. Right from the excellence of that early-morning scone and jam with a good cup of coffee, then through the healthful and very hip collation of dishes offered offered through the day – Thai beef salad with crispy noodles and pickled cucumbers; Zest club sandwich; bagel with goat’s cheese and roasted peppers – this is cooking that always hits the spot. Ms Lynch's superb synthesis, of good fine food with good fit food, is what brings people back to Zest Café time and time again, and this has made Zest one of the food lover's fixtures of pretty Killorglin. We all want food that is good and tasty, but Nicola and the team give us food that is good and tasty and packed with healthful goodness too. Zest puts the zest in your life.
