Zest Restaurant, George Street, Derby, Nottingham

I asked Adeline to write a bit about her English lunch. Well here goes...enjoy....

"The Restaurant: Zest, George Street, Derby.

Known for: Relaxing lunches.

For starters, I had a smoked haddock fishcake and David had sweet potato soup.

For mains, I had a cottage pie while David had pan-fried sea bass fillets.

For dessert, we shared a blueberry cake.

Total Cost: GBP 21.90.

The fishcake was really good, as was the blueberry cake. The rest was okay. David's soup was a bit too creamy. The presentation of the food was very good.

Besides two businessmen trying to negotiate a deal, the chef's wife and their son, David and I were the only ones in the restaurant.

It was very nice and relaxing and the price was very reasonable too. 

After that, we took a stroll down to the RSPCA and paid a visit to the dogs, cats, rats, parrot, and rabbits there. Some of them were so kesian. There was a German Shepherd eagerly holding a ball, waiting for someone to play with it, a funny looking Jack Russell who was shivering, a polite Siberian Husky, and an Akita that kept barking.

Also, the cats were very friendly. There was a cheeky tuxedo cat named Charles who kept pawing at David and his more aloof partner, Elizabeth, whom I liked very much."

Note: Hopefully Adeline will send some photos for our family blog next entry!
