The Ginger Bistro

1. Very centrally located Restaurant on great Victoria street which is really two parts which is the more basic bar area dining and then further in the restaurant dining with two rooms and a much nicer interior.
   The bar dining area is rather sterile.

   There is a selection of 2/3 course priced meals for dinner. Food is very good. The tempura prawns with a salad will be a bit too much garlic and ginger in it,was good. Had an Asian twist to it.

   Mains of cod was excellent again with orzo pasta and small of prawns.

   When was good priced wine and warm and attentive service.

2. First time to Belfast and reserved here after looking at the menu and reading reviews.
   It was all good I have to say.
   I had the cod – large, meaty and the skin crispy as it should be. The feather blade cut was well received as was the gravy accompanying it.
   I loved my sticky toffee pudding, portion was just right and the sauce not sickeningly sweet. The creme brulee was creamy indeed when a lovely crack to the top. The choc mousse just needed something different to the texture to lift it, like a tuille or shortbread maybe.
   Service was attentive and spot on.
   Loved the art work up for sale too.
   The meal deal value is an excellent way to access the menu. We had a mix of starter and dessert and mains and dessert. A great concept indeed!

3. Nice outlay, should be as higher end restaurant for Belfast.

   Cocktails very good, small measures but tasty. Non alcoholic cocktails are fantastic, again small measures.

   Service was great from waitress, overhead a call regarding turning tables, which isn’t the nicest thing to hear when you’re sitting down to eat…. Squid which apparently is a “ always available “ was rubbery, and the steak also from the premium menu came well over cooked

   Overall nice staff; good starters and good drinks. Special menu left a lot to be desired however, and @ £130 for 2 at before 5pm, lot better value eating/experience in Belfast

   Flagged the steak mentioned I take to the dog , still charged it…. Dog was happy!

   Wouldn’t rush back, starters and staff added extra scores

   Update. Had to cut steak for the dog 🤣🤣

4. Really nice people! Lovely food and excellent service. Definitely going again on my next trip to Ireland.

5. We had a group of 6 and the service was first class, very attentive and for a change when arriving with the meals didn’t ask who ordered what just put them in the right place 👍🏻
   The tiger prawn starter was beautiful I could have ate loads
   The mains everyone enjoyed theirs a lot
   Only minor complaint was the fat chips were soggy, craft beer was excellent
