Although a regular visitor to Zest, it has tended to be on a very casual basis. It is open all day every day and I started calling in quite often just for a cafe mocha(and they make an excellent one, by the way). Initially I thought they would not value this sort of cafe-type business, but the staff were always... More

Zest is consistently delicious. I've been there many times and have never been disappointed. The food is fresh, expertly prepared, and unique. Certainly the best food in Clane, by far... More

Hidden down a side road to a carpark, like a little secret waiting to be found - a fab place. Great contemporary food in lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. An absolute must if you pass through Clane ! More

Great Asian food restaurant, very welcoming, great tasting food, nice wines. Although it is on expensive side. 3 course dinner for 2 with wine and coffey will set over 100 euros easily. More

This place is off the main street in Clane, so you can easily miss it. However, it has to be the best 'proper' restaurant in Clane, bar none. The food is of great quality, and prices reasonable. There's something for the meat-eater as well as the vegan, and portion sizes are generous. Their coffee isn't the best (can be a... More

We're regular visitors as much for the craic with the excellent staff as the very good food. Although its stock in trade is a good range of pizza and pasta dishes, there is also a good range of meat and fish dishes for the main courses. The Italian influence of the pizza/pasta mix isn't necessarily carried through to the rest... More

We visited on a busy Saturday night, we booked in advance and were shown to our seats promptly. Adults in party opted for 'specials' which were much more expensive than mains on the menu but food all round was genuinely delicious. Children's menu available and is very reasonably priced and food was pronounced to be 'yummy'. All food cooked fresh... More
