This was recommended by locals and it lived up to their enthusiasm. I had a curry and it was a bit hot to my taste so be careful. Everything was wonderful with that exception.

Ok, OK, I am a bit partial, as a guesthouse owner in Plett, we love to recommend all our guests take time to visit Zinzi, but we ourselves rarely have the opportunity to experience the exuberant quality of this very special place. Today we did.... and I know it is not only the magnificent chef that prepares eye and mouth... More

We ate here twice while staying at Tsala and loved every bite. I had the mussel starter twice, it was that good, but almost regretted it on the second night, after tasting my husband's calamari! Great risotto, salmon like butter and I had the steak, which contrary to the previous review, I loved. My steak was cooked perfectly - medium... More
