Zest is one of six restaurants and bars within the Al Ain Rotana hotel, situated in the heart of the garden city. Al Ain is one of the greenest cities in the Emirates, boasting a multitude of roundabouts that display beautiful water features, landscaping and sculptures, as well as tree-lined boulevards and a low-rise skyline.
The hotel is known as a destination for relaxation and calm, thanks to its wealth of wellbeing facilities, comfortable rooms and drinking and dining provisions. Among these is Zest, a new all-day dining restaurant that allows guests to dine inside or out. Here you can enjoy a healthy serving of breakfast, lunch or dinner prepared to order in front of your eyes at any of the four live cooking stations.
The breakfast buffet at Zest is considered one of the best in the vicinity, thanks to its wide variety of delicious breakfast items. Help yourself to the likes of fresh bread with a selection of cheeses, fresh fruit salad, yogurts and cereals before ordering eggs to your liking or pancakes hot out of the frying pan.
Or perhaps you’re after a relaxed lunch, in which case you might start with a fresh smoked salmon tartar followed by a perfectly flame-grilled steak paired with spicy potato wedges or fries and steamed asparagus. Those looking for something a little lighter can choose something from the ‘quick bites’ menu, such as a grilled chicken panini or a grilled vegetable focaccia sandwich.
If you’re in the mood for Italian, you won’t be disappointed with Zest’s selection of pizzas, all of which are made to order and use house-made sauces. Likewise if you fancy Indian, Chinese or Antipodean fare, thanks to Zest’s international offerings. Sweet treats such as cheesecake and chocolate soufflé will ensure your meal ends on a high.
