    Very nice place. I spent weekend in London before dealing with some business on Monday. I was on my own. Wanted to have dinner somewhere nice while watching formula 1 qualifying on Saturday evening. This place has nice atmosphere and staff is lovely. I didn't like bowl of noodles I ordered. It tasted too sweet for me. But I didn't mind to pay for it. They noticed that I didn't eat too much and immediately asked if there was a problem. I said I didn't like it because it's too sweet for me but maybe that's just me being weird and it's OK. I got very nice surprise when I got glass of wine on the house. Very nice gesture! Thank you!

    Nice spot for a quick bite to eat. Very reasonable prices. They offer a gluten free menu with a great selection.

    Truly outstanding food and service! Best restaurant in the area. The stir fry meals are phenomenal on the dinner menu, as was the cod and chips and the pink Caesar salad. Breakfast was great too!

    I've past this Giraffe a few times in the past and especially in the morning, it's busy in the morning. When you book a table online it will give you two options; standard or top. I booked it standard but I was curious of the top option, so I've changed it and was happy with the result. Location is within 10min of Victoria station, venue has both in/or outdoor seating so option is there. It's not a super big venue but it seems that there are enough decent space between the tables. Service was ok, they were not a lot of people in the restaurant so not sure why it took longer to get our main when my main came, the visual appearance is nice but the chicken was lukewarm and borderline cold. Didn't complain cus I was not sure if the chicken was meant to be cold as the salad plate that I got, well it was cold. It's a nice restaurant and worth a visit. The while Giraffe set up reminds me a bit of Zizi.

    Make sure to get a booking for this very popular breakfast and brunch spot in London. I loved their vegetarian breakfast with an Americano. Their services are quick and the staff is super friendly and polite. They are reasonably priced for London given the portion sizes were quite nice.

    Delicious Strawberry Pancakes!. The pancake was perfectly cooked, not so fluffy and not so cooked, the strawberry cream added a very nice taste. Tea was good and fried eggs were good. I would give the pancake 5/5 and everything else 4/5

    Listen up my guys & gyals (and nonbinarys): Giraffe is above average but below spectacular. Let's start with the vibe. Decor: on point 💅 Music: feelin' it 🔥 Staff: 10/10 but it's not Manchester (when you know, you know #RealRespectReal 👊) If you can't tell by the tone of this review, the margaritas were STRONG. If these cocktails were people, they'd be Olympic weightlifters, ya feel? Okay, food: we got a cheeseburger & fries. The patties are frozen so you can't get them medium-rare, but the taste was grrrrreat. The salad was so fresh I was tryna get its number. Burger sauce was SAUCY and we loved it. And finally, a spot that knows the value of spicing up their fries. Helloooooo. They salt and peppered them (and some other spice but I'm too Caucasian to know which one 💁‍♀️). If you're looking for great value with a cool ambience, this is your spot. If you're looking for fine dining, then go elsewhere in Victoria #PoshSpice.

    Enjoyed a delicious vegan katsu curry, and an even deliciouser vegan burger. Add to that excellent friendly service from Louisa, and I guess you could say we had a five star night. Thank you so much, we'll be back for more!

    Great place to eat a good meal. Quickly served and very friendly staff. We can highly recommend the food here, will for sure visit again.

  • 3/5 Angela B. 1 year ago on Google
    The dishes were beautiful. I got the eggs royale which is poached eggs on smoked salmon and an English muffin with pesto hollandaise. My husband got eggs benedict. Both of our eggs were overcooked and very disappointing. Saddly it ruined the meal.

    The breakfast at this place is fantastic, offering a variety of options including vegan and vegetarian choices. Their veg sausages are a standout. They even have a kid's menu that's impressive. Overall, a delightful dining experience with something for everyone.

    Good spot to get a quick brunch on a weekday. I had just landed in London from an overseas flight and could not checkin to my hotel until 3pm, this was the perfect place to get a good meal and hangout for a bit. I ordered the All Day Breakfast Brunch, simple and delicious. Food: good Service: great Atmosphere: relaxed, non-pretentious

    Had a great time here! The staff were absolutely lovely and the food tasted fantastic! Would recommend dropping by if you're staying in the area.

  • 5/5 Amanda W. 9 months ago on Google
    Delicious breakfast and service! Wishing we had time for dinner here before we leave town because the dinner menu looks yummy. Our kids are always asking if the restaurant we’re going to has coloring stuff. And this place did! The service was quick and the food was amazing. And everything is very reasonable priced, including the kids menu.

    A great little place to grab some breakfast after arriving in London. The tostada with substituted Quorn chicken was especially tasty. Really the only downside was a somewhat curt server, but the food more than made up for it.

  • 5/5 Adriana Binti K. 6 months ago on Google
    The food was good! I got the vegan breakfast and it was super filling! Got free smoothies and the woman was so friendly! Would come again! Love love! 10/10! Such a vibe<3

    Loved the Avocado toast! Very fresh and flavorful. Coffee was great too. Service was exceptionally fast.

    Ran through the rain coming out of Apollo Victoria for Wicked and found this absolute gem of a Giraffe! Despite not having a table booked & the restaurant being super busy, our server Lenny found us a table for 5 (!) and we were seated quickly. We were able to order within 10 minutes and our food came timely and was all super fresh. I wish I took more pictures but it looked (& tasted!!) so great & we were so hungry it was all gone before we could even think about snapping! Ordered the California burger & quite honestly it was one of the best chicken burgers I’ve had- the chicken was cooked perfectly; seasoned so well, not dry or chewy, and the perfect amount of meat. Every filling in the burger was perfectly proportioned- it missed absolutely nothing! And the seasoned fries 🤌👏 Staff were so accommodating & friendly, they really kept the vibe high despite us showing up totally drowned! Thank you so much team Giraffe Victoria- will definitely be back!

    My son and I found my wife and daughter having breakfast in here, so we joined them. I wasn't very hungry so only got a smoothie. It was very thick, rich and tasty. They did a great job making it. My son got their eggs benedict and was very happy with it. We found the waitstaff was very courteous and efficient. They had some outdoor seating and a good sized inside. Looks to be a chain, but it gave a local owned type of vibe. Very trendy and clean food. Good place to grab a bite.

    We enjoyed a delicious breakfast at GIRAFFE. The pancakes are extraordinary. The dishes are a little pricey but you get generous portions that are worth their price. Don’t forget to ask the student discount 😉

    Good food. In the heart of Pimlico, and short walk to Victoria Station. The food was delicious and fresh. The service was friendly. We really enjoyed ourselves and also had a little room for the churros. Reading on their website they do a lot of great things.

    @giraffesnaps | The place| Is funky, colourful and cool 😎 We decided to seat indoors but they do have an outdoor seating area. As I walked in I got this vibe, there was great music on and the place was nice with a lot to look at ( bright lights, signs, pictures, decorations ) 😊🧡💙❤️ The decoration is colourful, bold, bright and fun 🤩🥰 it’s a very spacious restaurant, that has this warm cosy atmosphere ( we just chilled talked and it felt like we were in our little area with no one there, which was great 😊 although there were people there haha 😂 ) Location| 120 Wilton Rd, Pimlico, London SW1V 1JZ 🇬🇧 ( We walked from Victoria station and got a bit lost but found it in the end ) Opening hours; Monday to Sunday from 9 am until 10 PM The Staff| Nice and cheerful, happy to help attitude and some knowledge of the dishes ( which helped me make my choices on the night ) 😊 🧡 Food and drinks| Serving great comfort food, brunch, lunch, dinner, drinks and nibbles 😋 🤤 🍔🥩🥗🥙 🍜 To eat| For starters we had edamame and it was the first time I had them cooked like that 😍 it’s a must-try for sure if you like veg that is ( eat your greens yall 😅). For mains, we had Thai duck stir fry and Argentinian ribs, very tasty and generous portions ( I ate so much, I was so full after 😂), if you like to eat a lot I recommend these 2 dishes for sure. To drink| We had the passion fruit martinis and spiced punch cocktails (the spiced punch was so much nicer )🍹🍸 🤩 Overall| Enjoyable, Good vibes, Comfort Food 🤗😍💯♥️ Thank you so much for having us @giraffesnaps ♥️🙏 Check out my Instagram @queenzee93 for a full video review 😊

    10/10 for the breakfast. Was so good we came back again the next day for some more. The staff couldnt have done more for us. Place is spotlessly clean. Will deffo return the next time I am in London. We also had cocktails here and the price was reasonable and they tasted amazing.

  • 4/5 Jason K. 2 years ago on Google
    Quiet when we were there. Food was very nice, especially if you like spicy. Welcoming staff, reasonably priced and nice cocktails. Will definitely visit again if I'm in the area.

    We booked for a family lunch on 8/01/22 as we were going to see Wicked. Seated quickly by friendly staff who arranged colouring for my grandson. We all enjoyed our meals which were served quickly, good portions, good price point and excellent price for the child's meal. Dessert took a little longer to arrive but very tasty. All in all a very good experience. Thank you

    Giraffe is a good priced, family dining restaurant with friendly, fast & smiley customer service. My experience dining here was phenomenal. The food was delicious, especially their halloumi sticks! If you are looking for an affordable place to dine that provides you with top quality food, then I would definitely suggest here!

  • 4/5 mala n. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff were brilliant and very accommodating, the food was a little overpriced but that’s expected for central London. Ordered the veggie breakfast, it wasn’t particularly anything special but the fantastic service made up for it. Would recommend if you’re in the area

  • 4/5 Rebecca G. 2 years ago on Google
    I would recommend this restaurant. The menu is extensive and offers lots of variety. The food is tasty and well priced, the portion sizes were on the small side, and the tiny dribble of sauce that came with the pancakes was ridiculous. It might as well not have been there. The staff were friendly, and the restaurant was clean.
