“ From the moment I took my first bite, I knew I was in for something extraordinary. The flavors danced across my palate like a choir of angels singing in perfect harmony. Each dish was a divine composition, crafted with such care and passion that it felt like a blessing to experience. Our evening was made even more delightful by Chance, our waiter, whose attentive and personable service added to the magic. He guided us through the menu with enthusiasm and genuine warmth, making sure every detail of our experience was flawless. It was as if Chance himself was conducting the angelic choir, ensuring every note was pitch-perfect. The appetizers set the tone with a delicate balance of textures and tastes, as if the angels were warming up with a gentle, harmonious melody. Then came the main course—a crescendo of flavors that filled my soul with pure delight. Every ingredient was meticulously chosen, blending together in a chorus that left me speechless. And just when I thought the performance couldn’t get any better, dessert arrived—a sweet, ethereal finale that brought tears to my eyes. It was as if the entire celestial choir had gathered for one last, triumphant note. This restaurant doesn’t just serve food; it delivers a transcendent experience. With Chance as your guide and the culinary angels singing, you’re in for an unforgettable evening. Bravo! ”

“ Stopped in last week while in town for a conference and walked out a fan. The sweet candied walnut salad was a standout, and the bartender’s easy conversation felt like catching up with an old friend. The grapefruit lemon drop was a nice touch too. Zest is cozy, welcoming, and run by high-quality humans who clearly love what they do. You can taste the vision— thoughtful plates, creative drinks, genuine smiles. Chance is overflowing with breadcrumbs that will turn this hidden gem into a city staple. Grab a seat before the secret’s out. ”

“ Yummy food -check Friendly and prompt service-check Beautiful Ambiance-Check Family friendly-Check Best location-Check Worth a visit —check check and check Zest SLC is a vegan restaurant delivers an exceptional dining experience. As a vegetarian , I was impressed by the diverse menu offerings. We tried multiple options and as a vegetarian my fav was the thai curry . My meat loving hubby loved the jackfruit dish and our younger one gobbled down the pizza and the nachos . The highlight, however, was undoubtedly the cheesecake – a decadent treat that left me craving more. Zest SLC isn't just for vegans; it's a place everyone can appreciate for its great food and friendly vibe. It's definitely worth a visit! ”

“ Delicious all gluten-free and vegan restaurant. My wife and I are newly vegan (and she has Celiac disease), so this place is perfect for us! We loved the nachos and jalapeno poppers, but the buffalo jackfruit pizza took the cake! For dessert, their caramel tart and carrot cake were delicious as well! And lastly, their dinner roll is the best gluten-free roll we’ve ever had! We will definitely be back! ”

“ Visiting Utah from NC and we are vegans so we're looking for vegan restaurants, came across this one and thought to give it a try and it didn't disappoint us. Everything we ordered was yummy, portion size is great and the ambience is amazing. Service was a little slower as they were understaffed but everything else was great. Love that everything is vegan and we don't have to think about what to order. ”

“ Amazing option for vegan food lovers! It came highly recommended. We got the jackfruit pizza and nachos and Brussel sprouts! Everything was a touch too cheesy, in my opinion. Great, classy vibe. We went for lunch and didn’t have a wait. There was good, casual service. Thank you, Zest! ”

“ Fresh, Flavorful, and Genuinely Uplifting Zest Kitchen is easily one of my favorite places to eat in Salt Lake. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, or just someone who loves clean, flavorful food, this place hits the mark. It’s a mid-priced vegan restaurant with a simple, well-curated menu that offers a bunch of tasty, 100% plant-based options. No need to scroll through pages of dishes — everything on the menu is thoughtful, flavorful, and made with intention. The vibe is welcoming and calm — you walk in and immediately feel like you’re about to do something good for yourself. The staff is always friendly and patient, and they actually seem to care about your experience, which is rare these days. As for the food? Everything I’ve tried is packed with flavor and feels handcrafted. The stuffed mushrooms, the zesty bowls, and the raw desserts are just next level. You can tell they’re using high-quality ingredients — no corners cut. It’s one of the few places I can leave feeling full and energized at the same time. Whether I’m going solo, with friends, or bringing someone new to plant-based food, Zest never lets me down. It’s become my go-to for a reason. ”
