Did you know that, like human beings' fingerprints, each giraffe's coat is unique?…read more Yeah, I didn't know that either. But I did know that their tongues are black -- but so did everyone else at the table, so no points there. Poor old Portsmouth is having a hard time of it, so we decided to visit my stepson, who attends Uni down there, and take him out for lunch. We walked along Gunwharf Quays, which is cute and a nice centre, but really full of only chain restaurants. Giraffe was the only one we'd never heard of, so we decided to give it a go. The decor inside is really light, clean and interesting. We tried to figure out the vibe of the place, but to be honest, I think it can best be described as "international". There were pictures and drawings of people from across the globe, and the menu was very straightforward, but with twists from several different types of world cuisine. On a Sunday afternoon, it was very busy, but not slammed, and filled with families. We stood by the entrance for a full five minutes before anyone acknowledged us, which was strange, especially with waitstaff walking past us at the rate of 2 per second. Finally we grabbed one, and he sat us down. The service was very friendly, even though I was apparently a bit grumpy to the poor waiter (I was a hungy, hungry hippo), a young man who was prompt and polite when serving us. The food was very straightforward -- brunch until 4pm, burgers and sandwiches, and meat main dishes. This was very much low-key, cafe food (but well cooked and healthy, not greasy). The prices were reasonable, and we really enjoyed the food. We all got burgers, except for the littlest, who got chicken nuggets, so I can't comment on much. The burger was non-greasy and really large, and the fixings were all fresh. The skin-on chips were very tasty. If you're in Portsmouth and don't want to see football, Giraffe should do well to console you in your time of need.

Would definitely recommend, quite expensive but great customer service…read more The pancakes were incredible and came quickly. Best coffee I've had in a long time, if your looking for a cute place for a brunch date I would highly recommend.

I saw Five guys was here (our first time in Portsmouth), I took my girlfriend to the place (she hasn't been before). The place was just opening and even though there was five minutes until it officially opened. A Jack W. told us to come on in, he served us with a lot of enthusiasm and was all in all a wonderful person. He made our day better, I always recommend five guys because it has some solid fries and shakes, but Jack made it a whole lot better. He served with a smile and you can just tell he is enjoying life, we need more of him in other places! The fries were good as well, my partner said they were pretty high up there. Would recommend this place to anyone!

This is my favorite burger place so far in the UK. Everything we ordered here was extraordinary…read moreenough for me to immediately write this review after finishing my meal. We ordered the katsu burger with fried chicken as the meat and I ordered the heiffer with a 60%40% Chuck/pancetta Patty and fried chicken and both were simply perfect. The meat in my Patty was a perfect pink in the center and lovely with the smoked cheese melted smoothly over the top of it. The bun was divine as well. The katsu burger really mimics well the katsu sauce we had in Kyoto and Tokyo earlier this year and really worked with the fried chicken. Now for the star of the show. The Pad Thai Fries were out of this world. I devoured every last bit of these fries despite how full I was from the burger. Overall, this was the best meal I've eaten in Eastbourne and the best burger Ive eaten anywhere in quite a while which includes burgers in the states. They also have a very interesting array of drink selections to quench your thirst while eating these massive burgers. I might have to come back to Eastbourne just to eat here again

We ordered The Don, The Bo Peep, chili cheese fries, and plain fries. One nice thing about is that their menu rotates regularly and so these items aren't currently on it. First of course, the burgers. Pic 1 is the Spicy Bo Peep, a lamb burger with halloumi and tzatziki. It was delicious but could have been spicier. Pic 2, The Don, was picked for inclusion of chorizo, nduja mayo, and pickled chili and was very well cooked and tasty. With chorizo, nduja mayo, and pickled chilli I expected it to be sweeter but it was still delicious. The chili cheese fries were great, crispy and soft but very tasty. The only complaint was the very stingy application of cheese, we would definitely have preferred more but the meat and chips were delicious. Plain fries were good. Overall very satisfied and would definitely return.

They've protested, but been ignored, which is outrageous. Original review: Absolutely amazing sides and burgers. This place is really nice, really well decorated, great music and attentive staff. The food was insanely good, bar one minor caveat I'll get to in a minute, and I've quite literally never had anything so good with a burger than their tempura battered courgette chips. Also, we got some sweet potato fries and they were the crispiest, best seasoned sweet potato fries I've ever tasted. The only note I can make against the experience is that the burger, whilst not overcooked in the bun with the relishes etc, the meat was cooked through and would have been perfect had it been a little pinker in the middle. Don't let that put you off, I'll ask next time.

Pretty sure they put chicken in the pita then realized it was supposed to be veggie and took the chicken out and forgot to put halloumi in. For a vegetarian this is not okay. Also finding a rubber band in food is terrible, someone could have chocked on that. Then a 3 person had a horrible salad. It took 48 minutes for food to come We did get a refund for 2 of the 6 meals but honestly that's not okay. Manager said they are understaffed but unfortunately it's not really an excuse. Would not recommend this place.
