Holmesglen Institute's ZEST Restaurant

Lovely customer service from the students, you can see they are still learning, but they are trying their best.

Tables and cutleries are beautifully set up.
The presentations of the food look amazing, seasoning was great.

There are still some areas of improvement like waiters don’t know the menus well; overcooked steak and completely melted sorbet served.

But of course you would expect some mistakes as all of the chefs and waiters are students and they are still learning.

Dishes and drinks are very cheap as well.

Don’t be surprised if the students don’t know everything about the menu and the dishes are not cooked perfectly, they are learning and we are paying a very good price.

5 star for the lovely students and professional teachers.

Great fine dining while TAFE students learn their hospitality skills. Difficult to get a booking for good reason! Highly recommended. Three course meal for $30 per person. Fully licensed.

Great value, excellent service. We had a lovely time. Please note you have to pay for parking! We didn’t realise.

Holmesglen has got great facilities and the best amount of help that you can get when studying a Full-Time, Part-Time Course. And also a fantastic restaurant called ZEST!!

Delicious meal served by an enthusiastic group of hospitality students. We had a great experience and the food was great. Fabulous value - $30 for a 3 course meal.

Speciality tafe campus, focuses on hospitality and also agriculture. The hospitality course has a full up and running restaurant. From kitchen to server all the food is run and operated by the students which I was very impressed by the quality of the food.

The commercial cookery class and Asian cooking course were both very challenging yet very satisfying. Would definitely recommend any young student that is looking to join the hospitality industry then this would be the perfect starting point

Attended the awards night and enjoyed the evening. The Dean gave a splendid speech outlining the various programs available at the Holmesglen Tafe. A truly international college. Whilst enjoying some free time before the ceremonies we were treated with scrumptious snacks and drinks prepared and served by the faculty students. I was amazed at the quality work the student had produced, which reflects on the good work done by the teachers and staff. Sponsors were also very generous with the rewards and gifts given to the awards students. Well done Holmesglen Tafe.

Good food served with very enthusiastic staff who's main focus to keep their customers happy. We'll make it your first visit if you like to experience something new unfortunately that will never be your last.

Absolutely great! Students are fabulous and they make an amazing job. Food is delicious and service is just lovely.

Zest and the students in training are fabulous. Well worth the $ which you would have to pay a lot elsewhere. Tony is great at his job and Emad is irreplaceable!

It is nice to have great dinner and support students having their practical there
