Giraffe (Marylebone) review by Hugh de Payens

I’m not sure what to make of Giraffe. It’s a bit of everything… and a bit of a mess really… sometimes it really looks like the canteen of a nursery. They are obsessed with promotions. They have so many different promotions that you end up with a headache before you decide what to order. Some of their dishes are ok, some others are just too “busy”… too many ingredients… it’s confusing for the palate... They call it “Global Food”, but their menu looks just “cluttered” to me. The service is ok, but the managers appear a little stressed most of the times and the staff seems a little brainwashed… they go on and on about their excellent coffees and perfect cappuccinos… which I don’t think they are that great after all. In fact, the blend they use is very bitter. I’m not sure for what occasion Giraffe would be a suitable place to go. If you are a minimalist and you like simple healthy food, avoid Giraffe.
