Giraffe, Victoria — Restaurant in London

@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 ♥️🙏

My table of three arrived around 9:50 on a Saturday and were sat immediately, which was nice because we didn’t have a reservation, but shows that they weren’t super busy. However, that was the only nice part about the entire experience. Our order was taken after about 5 minutes and we received our drinks. Come around to 10:45 and we still haven’t received our food, so we ask—it had never even been put in. In the near hour that we’d been sitting at this table not one person had come to check on us in any capacity. We were sitting next to the door as well, so the hostess/manager/owner (she wasn’t wearing a uniform) had already walked by multiple times to greet and seat people at the door, many of whom finished eating before we’d even received our food. After asking we received our food all within ten minutes, and I’m assuming they were rushing each dish since they all came at different times and they were just trying to get the food to us as quickly as possible. The food was fine, pancakes were a little burned on the bottom probably due to rushing as well. The staff was apologetic and added a discount and removed the two coffees from our bill. There are lots of options for breakfast/brunch in this area, and I’m sure this could have happened at any of them but unfortunately this was the experience I had at...

Like many tourists looking at google maps to determine their next food venture, I looked at google for the best ratings and reviews. I learned after receiving the check that they have a ‘free smoothie’ promotion in exchange for a review. My honest thought now is that is the reason for the reviews instead of the food or some other major notable quality about the restaurant.

When walking in at about 10:30 am on a Saturday, it was easy for us to get a table with no wait time. The staff was very friendly and quick with service. The food itself wasn’t very impressive to be honest. I got the Mexican Tostada Plate and was very off-put by its taste being very heavy of sour cream with not much flavor or quality of the meat. I think they’d be better off removing this from their menu to be honest. If you’re looking for any type of Latino inspired breakfast, this isn’t the place for that. That being said, my partner got the All Day Giraffe Brunch and enjoyed it. The sausages almost seemed boiled to me instead of pan fried so it left the skin soggy and falling off. Aside from that, the portion was nice. The coconut smoothie and mint lemonade were both nice and refreshing.

I believe I was expecting something else when coming to this restaurant based off the reviews so I don’t believe we’ll ever...
