New restaurant in Hong Kong: Local Ginger Veggie Bistro – affordable Chinese vegetarian, but flavours are a little bland
Blue House in Wan Chai is now home to a quaint Chinese vegetarian restaurant, serving up reasonably-priced weekday lunch sets. The dishes, however, are a little small and are not overly flavourful
New Chinese vegetarian restaurant Local Ginger Veggie Bistro in Wan Chai features locally grown ingredients, and will appeal to those looking for a casual, reasonably-priced weekday lunch; although the dishes might not satisfy larger appetites and can be on the bland side.
The restaurant offers five or six set lunch options each day, and according to staff, the menu is updated every week. Most of the vegetables are sourced from farms in the New Territories.
Located at the revamped heritage complex Blue House, named after the colour of the main building, the shop is hidden from the bustling main street but still easily accessible from the Wan Chai MTR station.
The shop has an indie vibe, and according to its brochure, hosts “mindfulness workshops”, cooking classes and seminars from time to time.
The outdoor seating area is nice and spacious with several wooden tables and big umbrellas, but we opted to sit inside as the summer heat was getting out of hand.
