Ginger Restaurant at The Beach Hotel

Ginger Restaurant is situated on the Port Elizabeth beachfront and forms an integral part of our Beach Hotel. Ginger Restaurant is a public restaurant that is a fusion of elegant chic and contemporary fine fare. The atmosphere is friendly and informal and the food a combination of the finest, fresh ingredients that in turn create subtle dishes with distinctive flavours with an Eastern Cape influence.

Ginger invites their diners to sip their drinks on the deck while relaxing to the sounds and sight of the sea, before either moving inside for their meal, or being served in situ. Indoors, the lower dining area, with its stunning parquet floor, surrounds a central bar, while the upper, carpeted area is adjacent to the open plan kitchen.

Wherever one chooses to sit, the views are beautiful, the service is top-rate and the food is a taste bud experience.

With sufficient, secure parking, ideal views of the beach, Shark Rock Pier and beyond and the ever emerging need for a fresh, fine dining establishment along the beachfront, came the ideal opportunity to move from The Bell Restaurant, established in 1963, and build a restaurant for the public that was a fusion between elegant chic and contemporary fine fare.

Ginger does not claim to be a new trendy hot spot in Port Elizabeth, but rather places its emphasis on having a fresh take on traditional fine dining, by catering to the up and coming young businessperson to the more mature adult.

The atmosphere is friendly, airy and chic and the food a combination of the finest, fresh ingredients that in turn create subtle dishes with distinctive flavours with an Eastern Cape influence.

Something new for YOU!

Private Dining

We have an option available for guests to enjoy the ambiance of Ginger in the privacy of their own dining room.

Able to accommodate 16 guests on a single beautiful hardwood table with personalized menus, place cards and flowers to compliment the room. We are happy to discuss any aspects that you may require to add to the uniqueness of your event.
