Ginja, Cape Town

Since it is housed in a dilapidated building, Ginja's quality can be easily underestimated. However, this is an upscale food joint that serves the most unique recipes. The main ingredient in all the dishes prepared here is ginger, and hence the name Ginja. The Lime Chicken Breast and Beef Fillet Forestière are definitely worth a try. It also has a bar named Shoga, which means ginger in Japanese that serves a variety of drinks. The seating arrangement offers an intimate dining experience for the romantically inclined.
