Really enjoyed my meal with friends at this restaurant near Victoria Station in London. We all had the Steak and Chips (Fries) with two different types of sauces. We enjoyed both sauces. We all requested our steaks to be cooked differently and were each happy with how they turned out. The chips were delicious with a different flavor to them, the onion rings were crispy and delicious, and we shared a chocolate cake with sauce and a scoop of ice cream for dessert. So decadent! We had been sightseeing all day and it was a nice place to relax, eat a good meal, and end a wonderful day. From the moment we were greeted to when we left, the staff was friendly and courteous. The waiter checked in with us to see if we were happy with our meals and we were! Great experience and I would highly recommend it. read more

Good food, reasonably priced. Portions are variable. We ordered from the tapas menu; the tacos were large and delicious. You get two tacos for each order. The chorizo sausage was equally tasty, but small, which is fine but the variation makes it difficult to know how much to order. The happy hour is quite good: cocktails are $5. read more

Breakfast was abysmal. Disgruntled staff that seemed like I was inconveniencing them, merely by showing up. Would give.001 star if I could. Skip it. read more

This was great! The staff was fantastic and the food was delicious. My wife had the salmon teriyaki bowl, my 12-yr old had the kids' pizza, but the toppers were the seasonal choices. I had the Christmas Turkey burger, which was a great treat! My wife had a warm spiced plum cider (Rekorderlig) which was a perfectly warm concoction for a slightly cold night. We will come back, repeatedly! (Whenever us Yanks are in London.) read more

Giraffe is a chain restaurant that can't seem to really decide what type of cuisine it would like to offer. To start with, the name suggests absolutely nothing about the cuisine. An English word, a long necked animal. Your guess is as good as mine. I've only ever eaten at a Giraffe twice; once in Heathrow Airport with my parents and the other time at this one here. Neither have been particularly pleasant experiences. The menu offers things from fish and chips, to BBQ ribs, to an asian inspired duck salad. Again, what cuisine is this? I ordered the BBQ ribs, as did my friend Maria and my friend Oscar had the Haddock and chips. It was meh. I didn't finish my ribs as they were incredibly sweet, the sauce was verging on caramel-y, and it was so filling. My main qualm about this branch is the staff. They were rude, dismissive, quite clearly not interested in serving you, and had to ask multiple questions about things we ordered after we'd ordered them. They also, in a chain restaurant selling painfully mediocre quality food, added the 12.5% service charge to the bill. I won't even begin to describe the look of anger and disgust on our waitress's face when we asked if she could take the service charge off. I'd advise you head elsewhere. read more

Enjoyed eating breakfast here a few times. Service is spotty depending on how crowded. Food is good, and there was plenty of room for the four of us. Enjoy!! read more

Appetizers and drinks after the show...nachos, not bad (and we're from California, so we know!) :)- crunchy shrimp, spicy chicken strips all devoured. No draught beers, though listed on menu. Service was very friendly, even though we arrived about s half hour before closing on a Wednesday night. Overall, a solid experience. read more

Giraffe can nowadays be found in many locations and I just tried the one close to Victoria Station. The food was very good, tasty burger, great salad and also a pretty good selection of both food and drinks. The food is not innovative or gourmet style but they deliver good quality dishes. The variety is also good so most people will be ale to find something they like. Service was friendly and attentive. Food and drinks were also quickly brought to the table so all in all a good experience. read more

This is my local go-to restaurant when I'm just looking for a casual meal. Service tends to be on the slow side, but the food is simple and very reasonably priced. Nothing to write home about, but then again you're paying 8 pounds or so for a dish (their Giraffe special= appetizer and main course for 7.95. Marvelous!) I actually rather like the ambiance here - it's pretty busy and happening, yet the lighting of the place is very well done- puts you in a "big city" mood, even though this place is tucked away behind Victoria station! In short, if you are looking for someplace easy with decent food, this is your place. read more

This place is such a joke. For ppl who have never had Asian food by ppl who have never had Asian food. It's not even fusion. Came here bc I saw reviews that it's kid friendly, but the katsu chicken on the kid menu is Spicy! When we asked the waitress she said she's never heard complaints. They offered to re-do one without the sauce, but it came back with a smaller portion of meat. My other child ordered Bulgogi... and it is nowhere near the flavor or cut of meat as bulgogi. This experience is just ridiculous. read more

How the hell does this place have good reviews? Awful. Customer service is a joke - We had a couple dirty glasses and asked for new ones. The manager took them and gave them back to us as if we were stupid enough to not notice. Most of all, food is gross. Bad quality everything. read more

Nice seating and decor. We were able to score a window seat in the afternoon watching passerbys. I had the brown rice with egg and veggies, so good! There was just enough kick and flavor. The portion was large and I wished I could had eaten it all. Excelllent service too. read more

Slow, inattentive service, cocky attitude.Staff seems to be under managed, food is ok. Will not be remembered as anything better than an overcrowded McDonald, despite being basically more than half empty. Wonder how this functions, when filling up ! read more

There was a sharp piece of glass chip in my water glass. The manager made no attempt to apologize and charged a hefty gratuity to our bill. Horrendous service. read more

Yes, i gave it 5 stars.. After walking around all day and seeing all the sights, I was very hungry for a hamburger. Well I had the giraffe burger which was the best burger I have ever eaten. Yes, I am from California, and this was the best. They also have an extensive menu of many foods and they are reasonably priced. The restaurant has outstanding service and is very clean. I actually came here three times for three different menu items. I would always stop here. read more

Giraffe is a fun place to try. It can be loud, the tables are very close together, and it can take a bit of time to get your food. BUT, it is a lovely menu, lots of options, and the servers are fantastic. We hit up Giraffe three times on our week long time just for the nachos and sandwhiches. read more

Went for a business breakfast. The food was good, portion sizes good, and the wait staff was really friendly. Only downside was that the place was almost completely empty but the food took quite long to turn up. read more

Tasty food and friendly staff! Their menu has a wide range of different foods to choose from. My cheesy garlic bread was a bit cold at first, but they made me a new one in a hurry! So no complaints there Between my starter, giant burger, chips and onion rings, I ate until I could stomach any more! The burger did cost about £9 but was full of flavour and there was a lot of it. I would well recommend Giraffe if you are waiting for a show, bus or train around the Victoria area! read more

15-APR-2018 * 19:30 * DINNER * Extremely wide selection! Tough time choosing between multiple tapas plates or a larger "mains" selection... ended up going with tapas... myself, wife & 2kids... everyone got something different, all was good. Finished off the night with churros for desert. Excellent happy hour...5pm-close. Worked great for the kids...other families dining while we were there! I'd actually like to give a 4.5, but cannot do that here... read more

The Giraffe is located a quick walk away from Victoria Tube Station. It is a nice restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating areas. The menu features a lot of great vegatarian options, along with this there are a lot of burgers on the menu. I enjoyed all the food options provided and will definitely be coming back. read more

Giraffe is a chain throughout London. This location is nice with a small seating area in front. For families: it has a good children's menu with healthy choices (fresh juices/fruit cups), and not so healthy (items smothered in chocolate chips). We tried a variety of items from the menu including the huevos rancheros, and pancakes. First, the pancakes: the stack is huge (3 large pancakes), and if you opt for a filling (bananas, blueberries or the like), you get smothered cakes! Second: huevos rancheros, we didn't have high standards since we are quite far from the originating culture, but the whole dish was cold (including the eggs). We didn't wait long for food, so we can only assume they were only heated slightly per normal serving. Had the eggs been hot, plus the great sides within the burrito, and copious hot salsa = it would still be far from true Mexican authentic, yet it was fine given the cost. read more

I absolutely felt in love with this place. Not only the food is great but the customer service is wonderful. My friend and I are originally from Los Angeles, and we are loud so we sat in the corner near the bar. Although, we spent a long time talking and eating we did not feel out of place like other places usually try kicking you out. This place is great to eat and spend some quality time with friends. read more

Eh. This is a tourist trap. London is full of amazing restaurants. This is overpriced for mediocre food.

Pleasant place with good food and conveniently located near Victoria station. Their lemonade was particularly good.

My family and I loved this place--so much so that we wanted to eat there for two of the three dinners we had while in London. The entrees were creative, fresh, and delicious. The four of us each loved what we ordered. Two delicious desserts--coconut ice cream and pudding--topped off our experience. We all agreed that it was our favorite place among all the wonderful places we ate in London and Paris. read more

First impression... My fiance and I walked into this place 2 minutes before opening. The waitress stated that they aren't open until 11 am (remember we were there 2 minutes before 11). We told her fine, but she seated us anyways. Once seated we looked to our left and there were customers already seated...eating. Whatever the fuck that means. We ordered the full brunch which was ok. Nothing fancy, just good enough for us hungry folks. Other than the odd/somewhat crappy service, everything else was ok. read more

We ate here on a Sunday night, and we were seated right away at a high row of tables (not my favorite, but my children enjoy them). They had good drink specials for kids and adults, and the food was fine but not thrilling. It was family friendly and reasonably priced, but I wouldn't call the food memorable. read more

this place was okay. across the street from our hotel so we had to check it out. the fries were very good or chips whatever they call them over there. delicious. the burger not so much. I was very happy they had cranberry juice on the menu though! never see that on a menu besides in a drink. read more

Seriously so amazing! Such a variety of things to choose from! I had the lamb tangine (I think that's how u spell it) and my bf had the chicken Malay curry. Both of them were delicious! And the drinks are FANTASTIC! read more

This is my 2nd favorite Giraffe location (Battersea Rise being fave). Always nice service and typical yummy Giraffe fare. A great location if you're going out in Belgravia or meeting up with friends at Victoria station. read more

Yes, I'm a fan ! Smoothie first to conquer my epic thirst - yes I was out catching up with an old high school friend last night. Delicious, fresh and exactly what I needed. Next it was breakfast quesadilla with eggs and bacon paired with a yummy salsa topped with avocado, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I ordered side potatoes and side beans because I'm gluttonous and I needed them both although I didn't really eat them. So yummy, great service, I love it ! read more

Only went in for cocktails, which were tasty - lychee martinis. Service was helpful...liked that it was casual yet hip and it was perfect to just sit down for a cocktail with friends overlooking the street. The little tables and candles were cute. Not sure what the food is like, I only ate at the one at Heathrow and that was excellent. read more

Funky and fun atmosphere. Great place for a relaxing bite and yum! I had the duck stir fry and it was AMAZING, an explosion of flavor in my mouth. It was delicious and reasonable enough that it doesn't have to be a special night out to eat their. This place would be great for a girls night. read more

I went to Giraffe on a recent trip to the UK, during which I traveled alone. I was looking for a place to eat before my show. This place was great and laid back and I didn't feel awkward eating alone there. My steak sandwich was absolutely delicious and so was my drink (which was 50% off during bar buddies)! My waiter was really friendly and attentive and even took some time to chat with me about where I was from. Even though the place was getting busy as I was finishing my meal, they weren't rushing me out the door. read more

Went to Giraffe after a long day of touring and it was great. Sesame Chicken and Pot Sticker appetizers were great. Jerk Chicken and Thai Salad were fantastic. Server and manager were super friendly especially to my daughter who is a giraffe freak. read more

I'm a regular visitor to Giraffe, and especially to this branch as it's really handy for work. Especially like going during bar buddies, as you can get some great half price wines and cocktails. Had the herby chicken bun less burger today, which is essentially a grilled herby chicken breast, but was really tasty. Came with a lovely fresh salad with included one of my faves, edamame beans. I added a side of sweet potatoes fries, simply because Giraffe do them so well, making them an unresistable addition. read more

Giraffe is a bright, breezy joint that should appeal to everyone. Food is a clever mix of world food and filling western comfort staples like cheesecake or, my favourite, the full English fry up. Do yourself a favour and check it out when you're next in Victoria. read more

Excellent place, delicious food and good price. Good for families, couple or to go alone. Perfect service and nice musics. read more
