Celebrate every day of life, live in the present, make memories. Miss Ginko will ensure you have a full masti time,” said Johanne Mantosh, owner of Miss Ginko, the moment we walked into the new hangout spot located on the Gariahat crossing. While you make your way through the dimly lit corridor, one is not prepared to come across such a stunning place that would instantly make you go wow! Done in white, emerald green and brown as predominant shades, Miss Ginko has a massive glass house that makes you feel you are in Marbella in Spain or Greece. The 150-seater hangout spot is snug and ideal for evening date nights, brunches or just as a work space. “After Scoop, we wanted to offer a place this side of the city with Miss Ginko. We are serving small plates with a focus on Asian cuisine,” said Johanne.
The Telegraph got a walkthrough of the place and here’s what we liked.
“Miss Ginko is timeless and ethereal. Miss Ginko is here to greet and host you to an unparalleled culinary experience teamed with the best mixology and music. We wanted this space to be high in positive energy, to be filled with love and happiness,” said Johanne Mantosh.
