Spent two nights at Port Stephens due to a spontaneous decision to go for a drive up north, and on one of the evenings, found a fancy little restaurant called Zest, located on the main strip.

Sorry for the quality of the images, only had small cam and there wasn't much light, because it was night time :( but its okay.

2 COURSES $65.00 PER PERSON (we chose this one)

3 COURSES $75.00 PER PERSON 

Minimum 2 courses

Warm Sourdough with Hand Churned Truffle infused Cultured Butter $5.00 for 2
The butter was soo good, we could have finished the whole lot hehe

Salt Baked Byron Bay Pork Belly with Iceberg, Pancetta, Mint, Spiced Pear Puree

Pork Belly in progress in consumption

Atlantic Salmon with Sautéed Mushrooms, Clams & Vermouth Fumet

Cross section of Salmon, quite nice, however the sad part was that I found 2 pieces of bones :(

Cheesecake Mousse with Roasted Strawberry, Rhubarb Jelly & Almond Soil

Sauterne Crème Caramel with Spiced Pineapple & Currants, Pineapple Tuille

Café Latte $4.00

Overall the food was okay, though expecting more for the price, and atleast we've tried it :D
