About this place
Aromatic with layered spices, jerk chicken stands out as the signature order at Zazou. It works equally well as a savory bite beside a drink or plated as jerk chicken rice for a hearty dinner. Those after comforting staples can also look to spiced baked rice dishes, including Mexican doria and curry doria, served bubbling hot.
The blackboard hanging inside reveals another house fixture: daily aglio e olio selections. Ingredients rotate regularly, spanning straightforward small plates like broccoli or garlic-oil marinated oysters sourced from Hiroshima Prefecture. The wider kitchen repertoire ranges widely across borders, featuring lamb kofta, Moroccan-style spring rolls, and stewed linguiça with carioca beans, making it easy to graze across multiple dishes over the course of an evening.
Draft Heartland beer and various craft brews pour by the glass alongside international wines and French Pernod, mixed simply with water or soda. To finish, freshly baked apple pie and warm fondant au chocolat provide a comforting conclusion to a night out.
