Ginger’s
19 Caxton Street, Petrie Terrace
Ginger’s is the latest creation from restaurateur Jamie Webb – the clever cat behind such venues as Lefty’s Old Time Musical Hall (its next-door neighbour), Sonny’s House of Blues and Gordita. The inspiration behind the fit-out was simple – where would the characters of M*A*S*H like to hang out on their days off? The result is Ginger’s, a dimly lit and intimate diner and bar finished with booth seats, leather stools, exposed-brick walls and oriental wallpaper. On the Korean-style menu you’ll find bar snacks such as cured ocean trout with puffed cereal and radish soy dressing, small bites of kimchi fried rice with seven-spice egg and larger dishes of mushroom or pork bibimbap or braised pork bo ssam.
