Ginja

Well, what a little gem. It has been highly rated before and one can see why. You get a distinctly old world feel when walking down the passage to enter the restaurant and there is a mixture of modern with old world inside. It looks good, at night anyway.

There was only going to be one menu that would interest us and that was their winter tasting menu. The menu certainly is a wonderful mixture of tastes starting with something creamy, then moving on with clean Asian flavours, blue cheese without the bite with some interesting accompaniments, a great apple sorbet, then onto rich lamb and ending with a wicked banoffee dessert.

Their wine list is curently being updated, but we certainly found some good wines to enjoy at a reasonable price. The service was also very good and the restaurant is certainly highly recommended as they deliver good food at a reasonable price. The most amazing thing is that the price of this tasting menu was less than what I paid for a steak meal in one of the V&A waterfront establishments. It really makes you think, doesn't it.
