Ginger has always provided top quality food and service. It's a bistro and doesn't try to be anything else. We've been going to Ginger for years and during every visit it has never failed to impress. We've been to many 'celebrity chef restaurants' and a lot of them would struggle to be as consistant as Ginger. Keep up the good... More

Ginger Bistro is a great little bistro ideally located in the centre of Belfast. Fresh tasting and fantastically presented food is matched by the spot on service. I had steak and it passed the true test of being cooked perfectly rare. The staff make every effort to make sure you have a memorable meal. I wasn't enjoying the bottle of... More

My wife and I recently visited Belfast and went to Ginger Bistro on Tripadvisor's recommendation. Everything about the place was very good, decor, seats, food, staff and atmosphere. I had the mussels with chorizo to start which was delicious, my only slight crib would be that some bread to soak up the delicious broth would have been nice. My steak... More

Ginger never fails to impress, with good food and service with a smile. We went pre-theatre, and were finished in time without any rush. If in Belfast try here !

Nice food, generally nice atmosphere. Lost 1 star because of proximity to other patrons when sitting as a couple. (Unfortunately this particular couple appeared to be having a domestic which was a bit uncomfortable). Service also slightly slow and difficult to get attention of staff in particular table we were sitting at.

Crab cakes to start and Duck for my partner, both were outstanding, belly of pork and hake for the other half were just as fantastic as the... More

I came her with my boyfriend and three friends for a graduation celebration and it was the perfect choice! The ambience is relaxed and comfortable and the staff attentive and very friendly. We all absolutely loved the food we ordered and all found it quite difficult to choose from the menu as so many of the dishes sound so delicious!... More

My wife and I had the opportunity to visit on a Saturday night. (You may need to book in advance as we did!). We have been here before, but it was some years ago. Upon arriving the restaurant was busy but we where greeted and welcomed by a member of staff and shown promptly to our table. The selection and... More
