The Ginger Man

I was lucky enough to visit the iconic @thegingermanrestaurant (also part of the Ginger Fox, Ginger pig and The fling house family) who known for its exceptional set menu. They’ve now introduced a beautiful à la carte menu alongside it, giving customers more choice—a fantastic idea that only enhances the dining experience

To start, we enjoyed warm Japanese milk bread with roasted onion butter, followed by rarebit croquettes with pickled walnut ketchup—both absolutely delicious. For starters, I had the beef tartare with hash brown and cured yolk, which was one of the highlights of the meal—perfectly seasoned and incredibly flavourful. We also tried the grilled Argentinian prawns with chimichurri and seaweed aioli, a stunning dish packed with bold flavours

For the main course, we shared the Grilled Veal Chop, which was cooked to perfection and wonderfully seasoned. Served with confit potatoes and January King cabbage, the dish was both satisfying and beautifully balanced

To finish, we indulged in a chocolate and hazelnut délice with malt ice cream and hazelnut brittle, paired with a perfectly made espresso martini—the ideal ending to a fantastic meal. I’ve heard their black cherry soufflé is a standout dish, and I can’t wait to return to try it!

Overall, the new menu is a brilliant addition, allowing diners to choose between the classic chef’s menu with wine pairing or the à la carte selection. Gingerman has always set the bar high, and this menu is no exception. With its cosy, intimate atmosphere and over 25 years of excellence, it remains a must-visit for a special dinner!

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
