What Clients Say
"My absolute favourite place to go and eat in Port Elizabeth! Fine dining at its best! Such a classy place, this is definitely a place that impresses. The food is out of this world and the service is excellent!"
"We had a business dinner at the restaurant and we were a big group of people. The waiter is very friendly and also caters to all your needs. They have a large selection of great meals and they make everything to perfection. Their meat and fish dishes are to die for and their desert selection is unique. For a classy meal and a great venue for special occasion I would highly recommend Ginger."
TripAdvisor
"Had the best experience at Ginger The Restaurant. Friendly waiter, amazing food. Perfect service. Had the wild mushroom risotto – seriously delicious. Rump steak was perfectly cooked, super soft and mouth watering good. Crepe Suzette served and flambéed at tableside was to die for. Also made special arrangements for flowers that was delivered to be placed on our reserved table. I would highly recommend this restaurant."
"The refreshed dinner menu offers a variety of mouth-wateringly tempting creations. The Norwegian salmon, both the starter and main course versions are sublime. Their lamb shank is a benchmark for how lamb shank should be created. Very impressive wine list. Attentive but unintrusive service from both waitron and manager. A truly memorable and flavourful celebration of my son’s birthday."
