zest kitchen & bar

as a treat to myself, i went to zest kitchen & bar in salt lake city before heading home from this trip. located downtown, i quickly located a parking space and headed inside. i was super early on a wednesdaynightso the place was pretty quiet. i loved the feel of it even though there weren't many people there. it's a quaint place with a bar at the entrance and plenty of seating. the entrance is constructed of stone and the bright, brown glossy tables had silver chairs to complement them.

seriously fun spot!. went to zest for a friend's birthday dinner and ended up dancing thenightaway. such a fun place!!!

zest kitchen & bar has been open for a few years but i hadn't visited before slug magazine asked me to review it for the january issue .  the food was fantastic and so much more satisfying than i'd ever imagined. let me assure you as a junk-food vegetarian (sandwiches and pancakes are my jam!) that zest kitchen & bar serves killer cuisine. you won't leave hungry or feeling like you dined on rabbit food. each dish has layers of vibrant flavor and different textures. and i've been consistently craving the chocolate cake since i first tried it. i don't seem to get out atnightmuch so i was thrilled when i learned that zest kitchen & bar is now open for lunch tuesday - saturday. this is great news for homebodies and day drinkers like myself! check out my review in slug for details about my favorite drinks and dishes and let me know what you think!     

amazing vegetarian gastronomy. synopsis: zest is an upscale dinner club with a cuisine so fresh flavors burst within your mouth.

zest has a modern approach to the supper club theme. first, their cuisine is local and organic. zest’s ingredients are farm-to-fork making the flavors delicate, fresh and vibrant. even their cocktails are made from organic fruits and vegetables. second, it's mainly vegan so your palet won’t be over burdened with any heavy creams, animal oils or butters. you'll feel full without feeling guilty. third, zest turns into anightclub after regular dinner hours. i love this because their seating is built on a higher tier creating a great people watching venue. you can see the dance floor from your table. really fun!!
