Baked Basque Cheese Cake.
I first became obsessed with this cheesy gooey cake in San Sebastián a few years back. The cake you can eat for breakfast with coffee or in the afternoon with wine.
has been perfected our recipe, and it sits on our counter daily. So good

Steak frites with Cafe de Paris butter and fries.
We work with Little Joe Beef, ethical farmers, producing our Marble 4 porterhouse, full of depth of flavour.
The whole porterhouse is cut down in house by our chefs so every steak is trimmed and portioned by us for quality control.
Cooking involves long rest times. Double searing. Oven finished and topped with our café de Paris butter. We often hear “the best steak I’ve ever had”
Available all day from open to close, lunch and dinner and even during Aperitivo!

International Women’s Day.
Zowie here.
This is a genuine thank you to the women who have rolled up their sleeves and stepped in to support me at Zsa’s, now and over the years.
Running a venue solo can be a lonely road. What makes it work is people who truly back the vision and each other.
These women with me now have done exactly that, bringing ideas, care, perspective and hard work to celebrate all that is Zsa’s. From marketing and shaping menus to helping keep everything aligned with where we’re heading. Quietly supporting, problem solving, and pulling together a creative, supportive, positive and fun workplace. I love and appreciate you all so much.
It really does take a village.
So I want to say thank you to the women beside me today… Lola, Kirah, Annabel & Rosie my angels. Big bloody THANKYOU!!!
As the solo owner I’m here steering the ship but I’m very aware that none of it happens without the people beside me. Let’s celebrate Women supporting women. Every day.
But for today…
Happy International Women’s Day.
