Evil Genius

Tucked away on Tidal View, Evil Genius is one of Ferrymead’s best-kept secrets. Inspired by traditional Asian street food, Evil Genius serves up bold, fresh flavours in a unique rustic setting. Think tasty, intriguing plates designed to be shared.

The friendly, knowledgeable team offers a relaxed and informal dining experience. Settle in at the cosy bar or extended dining area, the Lair, or treat yourself to sweeping views across the estuary and out to the ocean in our open courtyard. The perfect place to unwind with family and friends.

Start with some dumplings, available in a filling of either pork and coriander or shiitake mushroom. Each is served with apple wasabi oil, sweet soy, furikake and pickled ginger, adding an irresistible tang to the already delicious offerings.

Next, tuck into something from the Hawker Rolls menu. Try the Porker, featuring slow-cooked pork belly, or the Bok Bok, loaded with Evil Fried Chicken, honey soy glaze and pickled red onion. Both are packed with flavour.

If you still have room, indulge in dessert. The Tiramisu offers none of the normal flavours, combining matcha, sake savoiardi and strawberry compote. Alternatively, challenge your tastebuds with a Crumble. Playing with sweet and savoury, this consists of roasted sweet potato, five-spice crumb, sticky toffee and vanilla bean ice cream.
