Their excellent food, lively vibe and the fact that the friendly owner Maro<\/strong> is always on hand with a smile and a suggestion of what to order, are what have kept Zaras Caf\u00e9 <\/strong>at the Ballito Lifestyle Centre <\/strong>a firm favourite amongst North Coasters for so many years.<\/p>\n

This month the Get It team was treated to a Mediterranean feast at the beautiful Zaras Caf\u00e9, where we indulged in a fantastic Greek-inspired lunch and finished off with some decadent sweet treats. Here\u2019s what we thought . . .<\/p>\n

Walking into the gorgeous Zaras Caf\u00e9 is like going on a quick escape to a Greek island. The d\u00e9cor is crisp, clean and chic with ocean-inspired colours and a striking feature wall with glass jars choc-a-block with bright yellow lemons.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the restaurant is an irresistible table overflowing with freshly-baked decadence . . . but more about that later!<\/p>\n

Browsing the menu, you are introduced to a wide variety of dishes ranging from Krispas (flatbread) topped with mouth-watering delectables, to gourmet pastas and intriguing salads.<\/p>\n

After much debate, we decided on the Spinach Salad, Meze Chicken, Falafel Meze (a great option for veggies), Parma Ham Krispa and the Pigallo Salad.<\/p>\n

And, for a little extra dose of goodness, we all ordered freshly squeezed juices to drink!<\/p>\n
