I opeted for 12.95 emnu - small but adequate Caesar salad with ham instead of anchovies. Nice steak and chips with coleslaw - ok size portion and beautifully cooked. Partner had lasagne which was a huge portion and again nice chips - his bill 9 euors. Good value, good service and an accurate bill great for a popular beachfront cafe.

I found this lovely restaurant on the beach front on my 2nd day of my hols and ate there every day! A wide variety of food available and catered for my fussy needs! Service was fantastic and even though restaurant was busy we still got our food very quickly. I would def recommend this place to everyone.

Great food. Loads of choice on the tapas menu. Great outdoor grill. Staff very friendly and good service all around. If your after a nice meal with decent atmosphere, good food and friendly service, I'd highly recommend a meal at Zen

After reading reports prior to visiting Zen, I was very disappointed. The food and service was nothing special, though the view is good.

Bit pricey, and food a little disappointing to be honest, nice staff and good location though. We enjoyed the laid back live music and thought atmosphere chilled. Watching the beach at twilight when all the lights were sparkling across the bay was a bonus!
