Everyone in Derby loves Bennetts Department Store for the simple reason that it's always been home to the best sort of retail therapy, and now there's even more reason for it to become a favourite amongst residents. Zest at Bennetts, a delightful modern British cafe and brasserie, has opened at the rear of this Irongate store and can be found on the balcony. Stop by for a tasty brunch or you could indulge in their champagne breakfasts to celebrate a special occasion. After some shopping, there could be nothing better than sitting down for lunch in their relaxing atmosphere amidst all your shiny parcels.

For a light meal, the soups, salads and sandwiches beckon, but there's a regular three course meal also beginning with smoked salmon and avocado followed by corned beef and potato hash with fried egg and rocket. Freshly prepared cakes and pastries take on an alluring appeal as a fitting end to the meal. Drinking options at Restaurant Zest are plentiful including wine, champagne, beer along with tea, coffee and fruit juices.
