    Halloumi Fries
    Rohith V.

    Giraffe Victoria - We had an Airbnb around the corner and were craving something nearby and easy, so we stopped by after seeing the decent reviews on Google Maps. Only later did I realize this was part of a chain, and honestly, the food reflected that. We ordered the halloumi fries and the katsu chicken curry. The halloumi fries came sprinkled with a bit of pomegranate but didn't taste very fresh. They were slathered in a mayo dressing and came with only about 7 pieces -- overall just a 3/5. The chicken katsu curry was also nothing special. The flavor felt flat and left me wanting more. Service was fine on a not-too-busy Saturday afternoon, but overall the experience was underwhelming.

    The food was delicious! I ordered the Giraffe burger and my daughter had the wings and fries so tasty. What really stood out was the service though. Our server was absolutely the sweetest and made the experience even better.

    Swinging kabab

    Delicious food served quickly even during a busy time. Good menu variety and amazzzzzzzzing service. Check out this swinging kebab!

    Cappuccino and avocado toast with bacon and egg. Perfection. I could eat here every day.

    Stopped in here this morning on our way to the station. Had such a great experience that we stopped in for dinner on our way back to the hotel this evening. This morning I had the Avo Toast with bacon and poached egg. Bacon was perfectly crispy and there was a good amount. The poached egg was done really well and not served watery. My husband had the strawberries and cream pancakes and enjoyed them. For dinner I had the prawn gyoza and loaded (toppled?) fries. He had the rodeo chicken sandwich. Everything was quite tasty. Oh! I had a giant cappuccino in the morning and a margarita this evening. He had a coconut smoothie and a strawberry smoothie and enjoyed both. Service was friendly. Ambiance was perfect for my liking: lively but not loud, clean, comfortable furniture. My only suggestion to the chef or manager would be to serve five gyoza instead of four. The number four in a few Asian languages (Mandarin and Japanese, as far as I know) sounds like the same word for "death" so it's always better to give five not four if you're superstitious. Plus five gyoza is better than four.

    Steak and fries
    Wai L.

    We went to the Giraffe restaurant because it was close to our hotel. Service was okay and the restaurant was nicely decorated. I bought the Steak and Fries. The steak was pretty small for the price I paid for it. It was pretty tough too. My brother ordered the fish and chips. He said that the fish was stale and had a bad taste to it.

    English breakfast if poached egg, hash, toast, sausage and bacon either tomato & toast.

    Delicious first foray into an English breakfast. Found it pretty tasty and satisfying to start my day. Very fast service and everything cooked just right!

    Overall a less than appealing experience. Tried the fish and chips with mushy peas and all 3 were sub standard. The fish was the biggest letdown with undercooked batter and fish that seemed a bit dodgy. Service was fast...I was the only one in the whole place. Perhaps other items would be better but this meal was a disservice to the iconic British meal.

    Had breakfast here on the day of HM Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. Many businesses were closed but this resto was open, so we walked in. Breakfast was good but better than that, the staff. We were glued on the TV watching the funeral. At about 11:00, the staff turned down the music and turned up the volume of the TV for us. We had paid the bill but remained standing following what's happening on TV and the staff allowed us to do so. For that alone, I'd recommend this place. I ordered the All Day Giraffe Brunch and loved the smoked bacon. Forgot to take a pic, was too engrossed watching the funeral on TV.

    Vegan breakfast + baked beans
    Matt B.

    Vegan-friendly breakfast joint with a vegan English breakfast, but the execution is a bit lacking and they try to tack on service charges. We stopped in for a vegan English breakfast (£12) one morning, which comes with vegan bacon (x2), vegan sausage (x1), guacamole, fried potato, tomato, and mushrooms. It didn't come with baked beans, so we added it for another £1.50. The bacon was very fermented-tasting, like corned beef -- interesting but a bit too harsh. The sausage was Quorn and nicely textured. The gauc didn't quite work and was too citric to go with the rest of the food. The tomato and mushrooms were simple and fine. The potato was heavily deep-friend, McDonald's-like hashbrowns, which aren't my thing. When we got the bill, they had tacked on a 12.5% service charge that is optional, but they'll charge it to you if you're not paying attention -- borderline deceptive. I wouldn't return here.

    Thai Duck Stir Fry
    Andy B.

    Located in Victoria, close to Victoria Station, this cafe has alot to offer. Comfortable atmosphere and great service. I had the Thai Duck Stir Fry. Plenty of food to eat and delicious. The service was fast and friendly. The desert was awesome, caramelized banana and a waffle. I recommend the Giraffe when visiting Victoria or attending a show.

    Perfect brunch spot! Super cute inside and few outdoor seats. Right now they are doing a smoothie promo so I highly recommend! It was delicious.

    Eggs Benedict
    Jennyfer P.

    My first time trying an English breakfast and it was great! Hearty, filled with protein, delicious mushrooms, and the sausage was my favorite part. We also had the iced latte and the coconut smoothie and they were both great! The service was quick and friendly. And the place has a nice vibe, good music.

    We stayed at the hotel nearby. We like to eat fish & chip as we stay in London. We order peanut lightly sautéed, which is very good since we drink Peroni beer on draft. His fish and chip is just okay. My crispy calamari was more like soggy calamari.

    Most memorable dinner we have experienced in a year or more. …read more Beautiful trout with spring vegetables in a subtle glaze and chicken schnitzel with an aioli type sauce. Even the asparagus deserved its own review. Staff knew how to make the evening a hit including a very rare thing: a well mixed martini. Our meal was topped off with a perfect British sponge cake snuggled down in warm toffee and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The environment of casual benches and chairs with homemade cushions surprisingly served to make the relaxed ambiance the perfect background for the fine dining. The chef and staff share their process in an open kitchen which allows the diner to appreciate the whole experience. No one hurried us. Everyone was professional and lively. An evening we will not forget.,

    Came for the full English breakfast based on others' reviews. Full English breakfast was on my…read morehusband's list of 'must do's' while in Britain. It did not disappoint. Everything on the plate was FANTASTIC. I especially want to note the bacon- I'm somewhat of a bacon snob and theirs was perfectly done. Thick and cooked enough to be sturdy but not overcooked and too crispy. My first time trying black pudding and I was a little hesitant, but it was also delicious. Highly recommend this place. I wish we were staying longer in London, we'd probably come back every morning!
