34 Harrington Street
The Rocks 2000
For the adventurous, inquisitive and ravenous. Great Thai food at the Wild Ginger, located in the historic old Sailor’s Home. Rated as some of the best Thai food available in Sydney, although for that title, the competition is fierce. Interestingly, they keep European restaurant hours, open from 12noon to late. So, yeah, for great food such as Grilled Wagyu, Grilled Scallops or King Fish Larb or a delicious Thai Curry, head of to the Wild Ginger.
