Chez Zee

Chez Zee claims to be more than a restaurant (“It’s an experience!”) and from our experience we can say that their extensive dessert menu is unsurpassed in Austin. An Austin favorite since 1988, when owner Sharon Watkins set out to create a unique combo of European bistro and bakery with an Austin flair, Chez Zee has been the site of many celebrations with dessert as the highlight. Our favorite is the lemon rosemary cake, a Chez Zee original creation. But it’s hard to pass up the melt in your mouth coco leches cake or Maida’s cake, a gluten-free, flourless chocolate delight filled with vanilla cream and mocha mousse. Chez Zee also creates weekly dessert specials.
