GINGER BISTRO – Chinese
Cantonese cooking done with intent, and dim sum service running from late morning to mid-afternoon. Hong Kong-style roast meats are the signature, with roasted duck, BBQ pork and chicken carved to order, alongside a trolley's worth of shumai, dumplings and rice cake. The stir-fry side leans hard on the wok, and the lobster with ginger and scallion is the dish the kitchen puts its name to. The owners travelled Asia before opening and say sourcing was the hard part, which shows on the plate. Come at lunch and order the barbecue.
