Zest Tianjin
Tianjin
Zest places international cooking in the courtyard of The Ritz-Carlton, Tianjin. Its open kitchens draw on Chinese, Japanese and Italian food traditions, giving diners several distinct directions within one restaurant. The main hall is complemented by three private dining rooms. References to Hong Kong’s open-air food culture, Italian bistros and Japanese dishes inform the concept, while an attached French-style patisserie adds a separate emphasis on baking and sweets. An extensive wine selection accompanies the food. The combination of open cooking and private rooms means the restaurant can serve both a lively meal in the main space and a more contained gathering, without losing the courtyard setting that distinguishes it.
