Zest Cafe

An incredible place! We stayed nearby and had lunch here on our first day in Palolem. We loved it so much that we enquired about availability in 1 of the 3 beach rooms they have next to the restaurant. Wonderful rooms at a reasonable price...highly recommend! The food and drinks are wonderful, we ate here most days and kept extending our stay because we enjoyed it so much. The service was great. The whole team are friendly, attentive, and work extremely hard. There beach sun loungers get taken quickly mid morning so head around breakfast time to ensure a place. The design and ambience make you feel completely relaxed and on holiday. Thanks Team Zest for the best stay in Goa!

We’ve been in Palolem beach for 3 days, we’ve had lunch twice here already! The food is fresh and healthy so you feel good after eating, the service is good and attentive, and the deco and location perfect. It’s not particularly more expensive than other beach front restaurants but has the extra touch we were looking for to really make you feel like you’re in paradise. They even managed a good macchiato.

As a vegan, I love the food, the way the plates and food is so clean, colorful and tasty!!!!! Staff are friendly and you can feel at home. Sitting area with pillows, soft chairs and sea view.

The warm & hospitable staff & delicious food had me back here over & over & over.... I loved eating here on an almost daily basis. All the dishes I tried were tasty & great portion sizes. The men who work here are incredible, always ready to greet me with a smile. I often saw women begging & the young men would walk out & chat to them & give them money & a kind word. It was very humbling to see. This was my favourite place to eat in all of Patnem & Palolem - don’t miss it.

This place gives you that instant holiday feel! Very relaxing and chill vibe. The food is good and the staff are very friendly. We’ve been here many times and always satisfied about the food. They also have the best coffee in town with a good espresso machine. Even non-vegetarians will be surprised at how good vegetarian can be as there is a lot to choose from on the menu. The service at the beach beds could improve though , as we had to get up sometimes to look for the waiter. But i am very satisfied about this place and definitely recommend it!

Wonderful place to be with great, really nice staff, delicious vegetarian and vegan food and drinks and really good music. At the hottest time of the day you can relax on the beach lounger or sit inside on the cosy sofas or chair and enjoy your drinks, food and atmosphere! Highly recommend

We found this gem on our first night (luckily) and have been back here for either lunch or dinner most days. The food is very tasty, the place has a great vibe and lovely decor to top it off. It’s a little more pricey than other places around but everything we’ve tried was worth it. Would recommend the pink lady smoothie bowl, mushroom/spinach lasagne, hummus, and burgers.

Love at first bite. From the menu, to the fresh produce to their staff to the location, everything was just perfect! 4 out of my 5 days in Goa, I ate at Zest only! It's that good 😊
